READ: Jewel Mische on why she believes her mom secretly thinks she is a failure
In a lengthy Instagram post, Jewel Mische disclosed her purpose in life and why she believes that her mom secretly thinks she is a failure.
Jewel started off by discussing the dreams her mom had for her future. She said, “Like Ms. Catriona Gray's mother, my mom also once dreamt that I become a beauty queen. I never really saw myself as one though, it was never my desire.. at saka, height pa lang bagsak naman na ako e!
"Pwede din doktor, sabi niya, which was never gonna happen because I don't even like the sight of blood. Tapos naging pag aartista na lang nauwi ung pangarap ng nanay ko for me. Ayun natupad naman, even though it was never my first love kaya naiwanan ko din.”
Jewel was part of the 2006 StarStruck batch where she won the "Ultimate Sweetheart" title. The former actress left her showbiz career to live a quiet life with her husband Alister Kurzer and their daughter Aislah Rose in the US.
Jewel went on with her story, even divulging that there were misunderstandings between her mother in the past.
“My mom is very different from me though; we have always clashed. This is why we don't have the Hallmark kind of mom and daughter relationship. I believe she still secretly thinks I am a failure for leaving showbiz to be “just a house wife” or a “full time mom.”"
For Jewel, success is fulfilling her purpose in life. She said, “My definition of success is different from hers. “Success” to me (and one of my favorite preachers) - is completion and fulfillment (of the original intent) of the purpose for your existence (why you were created).
"In other words, success is not about making a lot of money, it's not about having a big house with a nice car by the lake.
"Success is not having a lot of friends, nor accolades or even plaques on the wall.
"Success is very very simple, discovering your purpose and then completing it before you die.
"In other words, success must be measured by why you were created. Success is therefore, “PURPOSE FULFILLED.”
