If You Could Upgrade or Evolve on Thing in Your Life Right Now, What Would it be and Why?

If the recent presidential election is any indication, the Philippines is a nation that is hungry for change. We want to see tangible and immediate reforms, not just in our government, but in our society. But what we must not forget is that for us to see change in our community, we must first affect change within ourselves. Michael Jackson said it best: “If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.”

If I could evolve or upgrade an aspect of my life right now, I would opt to be multilingual. In this fast-paced and modern world where people become more and more connected through technological advances, it would be wise to keep up with some sort of advantage. Being able to speak and understand several languages would give me the privilege to interact within multiple communities which is highly essential now that I’m living in Dubai. As i am working in the airline industry as well, traveling around the world would be more fun as i get to broaden the range of people I interact with and it would be much easier to embrace different cultures. Imagine enjoying Japanese cuisine while the Chef explains the Zen way of eating, or chatting around in French over coffee and croissants in a Parisian cafe or going around the outskirts of Italy and speaking to random locals about wines and their way of living. “The limits of your language are the limits of your world”, a great philosopher once said and I believe he is right.

I would create a vision board of all the places I would like to visit and make it happen. You can never go wrong with travelling. It doesn’t matter if it’s a weekend day trip or a weeklong vacation. Put it on your desk or somewhere in your bedroom as long as you see it regularly. This will inspire you and it will help you focus and motivated on taking steps to achieve and reach that destination.

Every journey changes your perception towards life and the world you live in. Not only does it leave a mark on your memory but each journey you take leads you to self-discovery. These experiences enrich your heart and soul and in the end, you will always go back home with something far better than what money can buy.

Live your dreams, take risks, and live life to the fullest now.

I would want to increase my emotional intelligence. It is in my opinion, an aspect of life that is hardest to master. The ability to discipline the mind and control emotion is paramount not just in surviving our daily struggles but also in dealing with and accepting difficult realities of our lives and of this world. I cannot stress enough how essential this is.

I would take Trainstation’s “Breaking Through Barriers” again. It’s a workshop on the basics of Neuro-Linguistic Programming that teaches mindfulness and, taking control of your mind, your life, and your results. You really come out of it being transformed into an upgraded version of yourself.
