Life in Progress Podcast

Where do I begin? Life was already difficult as is — making connections was already challenging, but now the pandemic has made it more difficult than ever. We need to re-learn the art of reconnecting, and how to make meaningful friendships all over again. I personally find it so hard to connect with many people. In order for us to to try again, I think it boils down to changing priorities, learning what matters the most, and taking on the journey of knowing yourself more. I believe that the more aware we become of ourselves and what we want, the closer we’ll get to achieving peace and happiness in life without putting in too much effort. But the real question is, do we ever know who we really are? I don’t think so, it will be a never-ending beautiful journey of exploration.

I am alone in Madrid, I get sad sometimes over some events and memories, but I know this is temporary. Sadness is an emotion that is meant to be felt just like happiness, the more we acknowledge what we feel, the more human we become. Both positive and negative emotions help us be the best version of ourselves. Change is painful and it comes with a lot of discomforts. Everything unfamiliar will make you feel less confident, but nobody starts as an expert, so enjoy the journey, and take it day by day. I am so good at my job but it doesn’t mean I am also a good student now in the Master's program, but we strive to improve and that’s the most amazing part of every journey.

Why do we care so much about what other people say? Simple - it’s because we search for validation in what we do, if our actions are correct, if what we wear is nice, and the list goes on and on. I’ve learned that in reality though, nobody really cares as much as we think people do. Let’s always remember, that as long as you are comfortable with yourself and that you know you are doing a good job and that you are trying, nothing else should matter. Criticism will always come our way, use the positive to stay humble and grounded, meanwhile use the negative to find ways to keep improving ourselves. There is no final destination in this lifetime, and self-exploration is one of the most exciting journey we can go on. There is always something to discover about yourself, and the learnings are constant. People will always have something to say, so why not just go and do whatever your heart desires?

It’s strange because people often think I have it all together. The reality is that I struggle a lot, especially when it comes to men and love. This is normal, and we are all trying to figure it out. We have so many “Why’s” we want the answer to. The whole pandemic in the Philippines I had my own “whys” to figure out. I was seeking for answers as to why the man I loved did some things to me. Why did this happen? Why did we end up going separate ways, even even if we were so involved in each others lives and everything seemed like it was perfect. I guess life will be always unpredictable - there are lessons to learn to make sure we don’t keep on repeating the mistakes and the patterns, and so that we grow into the person we need to be. Last year was very hard for me, I had to let go of many things including the man I truly loved, but that also led me to where I am today. It’s quite ironic that I am now here just two streets away from him but I can’t see him, as if he was just some stranger. Back when I wanted so badly to be exactly here, there were things that wouldn’t allow me to be. But I guess that is just life, and life has its own ways of teaching us important lessons.

I turned 30 this 2021. And I swear, it was a roller coaster of emotions, my life was turned upside down, and I was definitely pushed to the limit as a person and a businesswoman. As if this pandemic wasn’t enough of a challenge, the universe kept throwing more at me to test how strong I am and to see what will make me give up. But you know what? I don’t ever give up. Amidst the pandemic and everything else in between —  I managed to get up, pick myself up again, and I moved my life to Madrid to take my Masters at the IE Business School. I didn’t even hesitate to start over in my 30's. My life in my 20's was amazing, I should say even beyond amazing. But where I am right now, I worked extremely hard to get here. See that’s the thing, everything in life is interconnected, what we do in our 20's will reflect in our 30's, what we do in our 30's will give us a glimpse of what to look forward to in our 40's, and the cycle goes on. As I always say, it’s now or never. What we do now matters, so just take that first step and take control over your own life.

I’m living my dream in Madrid. But at the same time I’m confused and lost while still happy and fulfilled. Is it normal to feel all these emotions at the same time? I guess yes? All our feelings are valid, the positive and the negative, and it’s crucial to feel these emotions for our growth and progress. There will be days when you think you know what you’re doing, then one day you wake up, and you just ruined a relationship and lost opportunities you worked on so hard on. Is this life trying to teach us something? I guess yes. Why did so much things not work out and how did I end up where I am right now? I don’t have the answers yet, but my journey itself in Spain will tell why I am here and what purpose this will serve in my life.

This year I finally decided to take a different path when it comes to education, and how I want to grow more as an individual and an entrepreneur. I took the first step to move to Madrid, to enroll in the # 1 business school in Europe, and to just go with the flow. I am not sure where life will take me from here, but I am learning to live in the present and enjoy what’s right in front of me. On my journey, I lost relationships and opportunities along the way, but I needed to do this for myself and my future. I feel like I have learned many things in the world, but now I have to learn to make decisions based on data and methods for expansion of my businesses back in the Philippines. And most importantly - I want my future self to be proud of me.

Nobody was trained to deal with the pandemic, it hit us all so hard in every way possible. When I met Brother Bo in El Nido, I was going through some of the worst days of my life, I didn’t know what was happening to my life and where I wanted to go. Talking to him gave me clarity and made me realize how far I’ve come and why I should keep going. We have all been through so much, but this time, you are not alone and we are all together in this. The pandemic didn’t choose, color, race nor social status — which gives a clear message that in the end, we’re all the same, no matter who we are, and where we are from. So keep going and have faith in your present.

Life is full of rejections and challenges, but the only person who should never give up on you is yourself. The more you push yourself to do hard things and to overcome the failures, the more capable you become of dealing with the storms in life. Nobody will save us, only you can help make the journey a bit easier. You are the captain of your own life, everybody else is just passengers, so make sure this adventure is something worth remembering. Yes, other people will help you along the way, but if you’re not yet fulfilled on your own, it will be always difficult to deal with the different relationships you will have. Your relationship with yourself will determine how you deal with everything else in your life.

We make many mistakes in this lifetime, but sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves and we go back again and again to what destroyed us. Life is a continuous journey, and we will fail countless times. In order to live a happy and free life, it’s important that we learn to forgive ourselves, just like how we put in the effort to forgive others. You are your best friend and #1 supporter in everything you do, and the more we practice to be patient with ourselves and to accept our flaws, the easier it is to practice that with other people. I, myself, have been making so many mistakes lately, but now here I am in Spain, learning again. I am so happy to talk about this topic with someone I really look up to.
