Count your blessings... and be prepared to be amazed
We passed our 3rd CPA paper..... Thank GOD!
CPA exam is a very complicated thing... it is like a double edged sword.... eating all your time and getting you depressed and stressed while sacrificing all other things when preparing for it... and giving you much joy when u passed it (nothing much else tangible... except more job opportunities)
Just a quick background. US CPA is unlike the Singapore style of "go eat buffet, get tips, and pass exam"... it involves months of preparation and failing is not an uncommon thing (amongst the Americans, not Singaporeans). There are 4 parts to it, and we must complete all within 18 months.
So far, we have completed Financials, Business Environment, and now.. Audit. Last and supposedly the hardest part is Regulation.
Back to my main topic. People tend to study so hard for it, and when they finally got it over... they feel... empty...? I think they do... it's like many things in life... a good phone, a good camera... good grades... good house... good ____ (fill in the blanks). One puts in so much effort into something... and when you get there... you feel elated... for a min? then... ironically feels empty... and hmm... lost?
I think the one thing that is missing IS.... the focus of your efforts.... when I am focusing on myself... good grades for myself... by myself... through my own efforts... using my own strengths... i think i will feel empty... i will find myself wanting something else to feel this void within me..
Thank God.... I can channel my sense of elation onto him.. I can channel my thanks to him... it does not leave me with an "empty tank" feeling... rather.. it makes me so grateful for knowing God... so happy to be blessed... Each blessing He gives me... I remember... and thank Him
Today, with the results... i count one more blessing from God... I thank Him once again... it is He who gives me this and all that is already given... and all that is going to come...
Honestly my friend, if you have that feeling that i just describe.... maybe one of these times you want to just talk to God... just ask Him... "did you give me that?" (The answer is YES.) Learn to thank Him... learn to talk to Him..
I praise Him... I give Him all the honour He deserves... I thank God....
