Sacrifices

What are the chances... you know?! Of situations you've pondered upon but never really given that much attention (even if you should've). Its funny how once you've feel that you've finally settled in, something happens unexpectedly. You might even think faith has a way of doing it on purpose making sure it catches you off-guard. I most certainly felt it.

What makes a moment great is a great opportunity...But it always comes with a catch. I'm being offered something rewarding which will greatly help my future. The catch?! That opportunity is somewhere remote and I would have to leave everything behind and stay there for a year at the very least. Its up to me whether I'd have another go at it for another year & another & another.

If you ask me I'm currently contented with what I have, although I'm faced with the reality that its gonna take a while for me to reap the fruits of my labor with the current pace its going, which is why people close to me say that I should take it. The PROs definitely outway the CONs in this one. It may also be an opportunity for me to reorganize my priorities, to rejuvenate my faith, which I know I've been lacking since. Sorry bout that Big Guy!

Circumstances have decided it for me already. The opportunity is about 90% a reality but it doesn't matter, sacrifices have to be made for a goal to become truly appreciated. When I do arrive there and you'd ask me if given the chance to decide, would I have chosen differently... I would say, "Am here aren't I".

What makes someone SUPER?

Do they have to do something heroic? something brave?
Does it have to be something tragic? something grave?

We encounter all types of people during our lifetime, with different impressions on the type of character we identify them with... as does they have on us.

In this day in age, we are bombarded with images of people undergoing extreme situations, making tough decisions, sacrifices, selfless acts. Does it have to be within those circumstances people can be called 'super'?

It's not the gravity of the deed that serves as the barometer but rather the impact on the lives of people we've touch. It's the little things like a hug from an elderly, a smile on a child's face, a simple thank you from someone you've just met... or have known for a long time. Those that appreciate your mere presence are the ones who tell their loveones and friends what a remakable individual you are. Without special powers or any unique abilities other than making their lives worth the attention and concern. In their eyes your not just great... you're SUPER!
