Take that First Step Even When You Can't See the Whole Path Yet

By -

Yes. Even when it scares you. Even when you're uncertain. Take that first step even when you can't see the whole path yet. You've been through so much struggles in the past and you've made wonderful progress as a human being. You are courageous and brave so keep on going!

Don't settle yet when you know deep down that the world is calling you out for a purpose. When you feel deep inside you a strong urge to change career path, to build your business, to express your feelings to someone, or even to say what's in your mind and in your heart. 

Gather your courage, ignite that inner fire and unleash your flames to empower you as you take that first step. It will be scary, but it's definitely worth it.

Take that first step no matter how scary it is because all the most beautiful journeys in our lives happened when we didn't have a whole masterplan. We just did what we could in that moment and it led us to twists and turns in our lives, and happened to be one of the most memorable ones.

There's no need to figure out everything all at once. Keep reminding yourself that. 

And when you find yourself standing on that path and you can't see what's in front of you, take a deep breath and remember that you are enough. 

Love,

Mary Jedde


The author of this blog is plain and simple. She thinks mostly of the usual things - life, love, beauty. She enjoys the basic necessities like food, warmth, blankets, and music. She gets thrilled with the idea of an adventure but doesn't really like to go on one, unless her spontaneity kicks in. She's got a fire in her belly most days, but enjoys the leisure of being in bed at the same time. Odd. Weird. Plain. Simple. Mary Jedde. An old soul, a lifelong learner, and a flourishing human being.

A Short Story: One Thing I Learned from Failing is that I Love Learning

Jedde, Fourth-Year High School, Year 2011 Photo from: Steven Tan An achiever - this sums up my identity in my younger years.  In high school, I've consistently strove to earn myself a place in the honor's list - a highly coveted recognition given to exemplary students, so to speak. Submitting projects on time, actively raising my hand, studying enough to ace my exams. All of these worked for me. In fact, during our quarterly recognition, my name would often be in the top ten list and I would feel proud of myself.  To put a little context to this story, I studied in a Science-Math curriculum school - Mandaue City Science High School. The pressure is high. Passing grade is 85. Below that grade, a possibility awaits for you to transfer to another school because you're unable to maintain the grade requirements.  So I planted in my mind that I must work hard to remain studying in my school; and to push that goal even further, I told myself that I'm going to be an honor stude

The Stardust In Her

Source:  https://www.behance.net/gallery/29412079/Illustrations-of-2015 I am staring at an empty sheet right now. I do not know what to write about. What is my heart telling me? What are the thoughts that haunt me? Am I ready to transcribe my thoughts into writing? Weave my emotions into images for the world to see? Am I ready to be vulnerable? As I am typing these words, I'm thinking about what to write next. Is this truly how life must be? That in each second of the day we are alive, we must always worry ourselves with the things that have not yet arrived? Could we not savour the moment of each letter, each word of this sentence as they are? Why must we look so far ahead into the future when we are uncertain about what's to come? Why are we letting the present become only a fragment of the past?  I have deeply longed for a time when I can be at peace with being myself, no rush, no pressure, no agenda. I have always been curious about what it's like to befrien

Home At Last

There's a lot I've to unpack in this story. It took me some time to decide how and what to say. I have decided to let courage prevail and so here I am, writing this piece of my life to say that finally, I am home.  Ah, this isn't one of the typical stories that'll make you feel good. This is one of those vulnerable moments of mine, of which I have decided after careful thought, to share with you. I hope you don't mind receiving a piece of my story? Vulnerable moments have stories of defeat in them and I worry that perhaps, today's story may not be your cup of tea. But, if you give this a chance, this might ignite a spark in you, and better yet, open your heart to acknowledge another angle of the story from a millennial overseas Filipino worker. Should you feel that this isn't your cup of tea, I shall respect your decision. However, should you decide to sit with me by the fireplace and hear my story, please stay and I shall welcome you wholeheartedly. Let'
