For years, I’ve always chosen to ride my motorcycle kahit pa may kalumaan na, especially going to work. Hindi lang dahil mas convenient, but because commuting carries painful memories for meโnadukutan, nasuntok sa mukha ng biglaan, and constantly dealing with reckless drivers on the road.
One time that I was told late at night that our car needed to be rented out the next day, nainis talaga ako. Kasi after ihatid ang kotse, I know I’d have to commute back homeโsomething I genuinely didn’t feel excited about.
But still I went and sometimes, God teaches us in the most unexpected ways and places. Habang nasa jeep na ako pauwi, the man beside me suddenly asked, โ๐๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฌ๐ข ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ถ๐ธ๐ช?โ
To my surprise, it was our companyโs Head of Operationsโa 65-year-old executive earning a big salary. Then he shared something that struck me deeply.
For 45 years, since 1981, he has been commuting by choice. โ๐๐ต ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ,โ he said. โ๐๐ตโ๐ด ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ญ๐ช๐ง๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐บ๐ญ๐ฆ.โ
Bigla akong nahiya sa sarili ko. What I saw as a burden, he saw as discipline. What I called hassle, he embraced as strength.
Minsan, hindi pala byahe ang mabigat kundi ang mindset na dala natin. Hindi sitwasyon ang kailangang baguhin, kundi yung perspective natin.
