Right now, as a second year business student, I'm kind of stuck between what I want to do in the future and what I would think would be most practical. Sometimes, I question my choice as a business student. Is this what I want to do? Do I want to immerse myself in this competitive world? How is it possible to help others? How am I going to make a difference?
During the winter break, I went to a winter conference and the keynote speaker was sharing his experiences in the world of business and God. The words that stuck with me were these:
"I used to think I was a businessman who is a Christian. But instead, I would like to consider myself as a Christian who happens to be doing business."
He's right. All this time, I've been thinking of how I can apply my Christian beliefs to business, when in actuality, I am living as a Christian who faces business. No doubt this is going to be difficult. There will be times when the easy way out is to prioritize a bunch of things like work or school over my faith. But what's giving me that push to be different is simple: I just want to be. I really believe our God can give us the most positive motivation and we don't need other things like wealth or popularity to tell us otherwise. I'm excited to see what's ahead of me and to see how God will use me to show his love, his grace, and his peace to the people in the business world.
I mean, us business kids......we always seem too busy and stressed :p
