Bumps on the Road
January 31, 2008 by edzguanko
It’s only the first month of the year and I’ve already made several big decisions, most of them affecting my career. I am both excited and nervous at all the opportunities coming my way and after thinking it over, I decided to take the leap to (hopefully) greener pastures.
But because this is life, you can’t have what you want without first sacrificing some comforts. For me, it’s already starting. My father’s initial disapproval, the anxieties at home, the financial adjustments, the inner doubts and fears… these are just some of the bumps spoiling my wonderful drive on the road of career change.
Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to have to think only of yourself… to do what you want knowing that if you fail, you’re the only one who gets affected.
But I have no regrets. In this world, you do what you have to do, and get on as best you could. I have been blessed in so many ways that these little, insignificant details will not deter me.
As one of my friends always says, "This, too, shall pass."
