The Egg Hatches A Trail

It is always easy to start something but it is hard to keep it going.

This applies to any decisions we make and instead of making promises I will say: "I will do my best to maintain my blog regularly".

2008 will be marked with more life-changing decisions for both my personal and professional meanderings.

For a couple of years now I have only focused on honing my skills as a pastry artist and it was very rewarding. However, now that I have reached a certain level of success, I am looking for balance. It is time to listen to the inner spirit.

I have realized that much of my inner spirit has not been well-cultivated. My emotional health, for one, is not in the pink. There are uncontrollable responses or impulses that are still premature which has led me to accept that I am not very much self-aware as I used to believe.

I believe that this happens when we see only one side of ourselves - for example, our professional life. Our successes in our job tend to cloud the inner being because we are consumed with great joy and fulfillment. Over time, we will start to feel bored and empty because our personal life has not been nurtured. Hence, this is where the concept of balance comes in.

My mother told me once that there is a stage in our life wherein we achieve more mental and emotional stability. She told me that I have come to that point in life right now. How does it actually feel? It feels like you have reached a final destination but you don't feel quite certain if this is all that really matters. As a result, you crave for more purpose and meaning. Material desires become less important.

I can only hope that this new trail will take me to some other destinations that will even be more fulfilling and rewarding.

If you beleive you can pick up some thoughts and lessons along my path I would welcome you to keep following me. Or you can pick up your pace a bit and walk alongside me. Whatever you wish to do, just pick up something from my track.
