Change is the only constant, what a funny law! We move on, we have to move on, sometimes we move on for the sake of moving on….breaking a comfort zone and plunging into torrential unknown waters. I am in the company of many wise people (not meant sarcastically at all). These days, there are many people i look up to and try to emulate. I am also happy at this discovery i stumbled on - myself. In the last few months, i saw i am capable of a lot, not just professionally, but as a person. i respect myself more.
yes, i have moved the bar a little further - set higher standards- but on the whole, i can see what this great change has brought about. Success is never just about the professional arena. Life is so big it cannot be confined to the office. Every area is important and there are no excuses for lagging behind in any field. You start out with being a good person, then as you fulfill your role in the office, you have to fulfill your role everywhere- i have to, i mean.
So that's what the switch from HT to a whole new life made me learn.
I feel like a student again, trying to learn the ropes. Most of all, i am looking for my centre. Once i find it, i want to stay connected with it.
In the past few years, my life had a shaky foundation. I had lost my individuality in an effort to confirm to the expectations of the people who mattered to me.
People who mattered to me then are still important. But i no longer want to confirm. I want to find out who i am.
This is a gamble, but its a gamble i chose.
