Hello you! Hello me! Hello world!
Hello good ol' blog!
So Facebook with this nice little memory feature they have, brought up an entry from this blog just the other day, about my last day at the office (October 2011). I opened it, but obviously (also as previously explained in another entry on this blog) got distracted like a Labrador puppy playing with the leaves... oh wait butterfly! and only read the post now.
Needless to say I had to go back and read all the previous entries and had a little (and I mean little because I didn't write that many posts here) trip down memory lane and guess what? Felt the urge to write again.
I guess I could call this Update #276 or whatever and go through all the boring (and not so boring) details of the many things that happened over the past couple of years....
Maybe I'll do that as I get more inspired to keep writing... or maybe I won't. We'll see.
And if you are thinking that I have come back with amazing news, to tell you how together my life is and how successful I have become post my MBA... Sorry to disappoint you.
I'm not working in the corporate finance world (I did, went back and it lasted less than 12 months!). I'm not a CFO, CEO, Executive VP or anything like that in any large international company. In fact I'm very happily unemployed! :)
I'm definitely poorer and a little heavier (but working on that already! top priority! I blame my age haha) than six years ago when I started writing this.
Still single. Still no kids.
Still confused? Hell yeah!
Still unhappy? Hell NO! But have been on and off at times between then and now.
Interestingly enough feels like I have gone through a similar cycle at least two or three times in the past six years. Somehow always ending up in a similar place as to that where I had started....
How is that possible?
Not sure.
I do know it's sooooo hard to break away from old habits and things that are so hard engraved in our brains and souls, that we don't even realise until you walk that long arduous road to find yourself right back where you started, with that big silly puzzled look on your face... What the heck????
But if you also have that urge, that constant feeling of unrest inside you, it does keep creeping back up to you in ways you least expect. And gets you moving again.
Can't say I haven't been moving. I think that's what I did the most between the end of 2013 when I finished my MBA and now. At many times I had a plan. But the plan failed. So I made new plans. And those failed too. And then at one point, I was done with planning. But that also didn't work out too well! ;-)
Or maybe it all worked out in a mysterious way I still don't know.
Hoping to get that benefit of hindsight very soon to understand this all.
Again, so many things happened in these past few years. More weddings, more kids, more job promotions, more moves, even some deaths (sadly enough). And sometimes I feel like I'm the only one stuck in this vicious little cycle that my life has become. Or has it?
I have been to so many places, met so many new people.
Some friendships have ended, new beautiful ones have started. Some old ones revived!
I'M not stuck, MY MIND is stuck.
There is a HUGE difference.
EUREKA!
And when I discovered that and learned how to free my mind and started allowing it to follow me.... That's when the real move begins!
So welcome to a new cycle! But with the same good ol' me! :D
