Is it always greener on the
other side?
I had that burning
question in my head too when I dared to take on a new job-an entry level position at a company with a global operation. The risk: I’m 34, it’s not exactly the best time to find out. And pursuing
dreams and embarking on adventures for small paychecks are risky and lethal especially when one plans to retire in a few years with some decent savings.
But for the last six months, I
discovered that far more important than how a story will end (whether I succeed or fail) is knowing that I no longer feel like I’m in ‘autopilot.’ I
do not feel like I’m marching towards an unavoidable slow death, I am actually looking forward to a lot of things.
“Uncertainty is where things happen. It is where
the opportunities — for success, for happiness, for really living — are
waiting.”
The difference: I am challenged and I am inspired. Three things: travel, photography and love.
