A Good Life Architect

"What is my purpose of life?"
I was questioning myself when I looked at a book with a title The Purpose Driven Life.

I am a teenage girl, going on 19.
For me, it sounds weird if you almost say bye to your teen-age and you got no point for your next life.
If you think you have already had your future in mind, please answer this questions (being specific is better to border general things).

• What will you do after graduating from university?

• What kind of profession will you carry out?

• What plan-b do you have if the first occupation you have planned is refused?

• What will the estimated salary you want to get?

• When will you marry?

• Where will you settle after marriage?

Did you response my questions swiftly?
Well, you will face those question in your life certainly soon.

Some people are formed not to be a future oriented person.
You might say, " I just want to be me, I'm happy with all I have today and I believe God holds my future."
Hey, You are so true!
But, have you ever thought that you are the architect of your life? Not God.
He is the insurance company who will give you aids if somethings bad happened.
He let you free achieving things you want.
It's your choice.

When I decided to continue my education in Perth, I was afraid of going through a wrong course. Then, to convince myself of choosing a right one, I browsed from Google to attain the idea about the career with the most demand in Australia, I asked people for their opinion, I asked myself "Where does my passionate take me to?" and "Does my ability cooperate with it?"

Finally, I fixed on Food Science and Technology.
It was great studying objects related to food. This is because, you will know the preparation of the industry on how they produce food, the work mechanism of the nutrition in your body, and the most interesting thing is I got the idea how to keep body in shape. Well, it doesn't work for me anyway because I was schooled the Australian diet and it has so much difference from Asian, especially the size and the variety preference of the food.

Out of sudden, I chose to transfer my course to Pharmacy.
My passion is the reason. I love something associated to the public health, laboratory, counseling people. And pharmacy is the answer of my passion.The fact is you will acknowledge your own courage while doing something you love. I have already proven it.

It's not God commanding me to opt pharmacy instead of food science. It's all my choice and I entrusted it in His hands. It is appeared to be true that He makes everything wonderful.

Along the way, I noticed so many struggles from the environment that intimidated me to be shaken from pharmacy. Some of my friends left, they moved to other courses. Some people said, it's gonna be really tough for first and second year in pharmacy. Some said, I'm good at marketing and should consider to switch to marketing course. Some said, I am welcomed back to food science.
And I said, I stick to my choice and I know I can do it with God.

Do you know why I can firmly stick to my standpoint?
It is because I have my own purpose of life. One of mine is to be a success woman. I dream to be a real pharmacist. Therefore, I will focus to reach my dream.

I am the architect of my life and so are you.
What you are going to build in your life depends on you and the best time to create your construction is NOW!
GOOD LUCK!
