Met up with Melissa for a catch up session today. Over some great cakes, our favourite macarons and a pot of calming tea, we spent hours just updating each other on the usual and not so usual stuff in our lives, our work, our friends and life in general. I am really glad to know that she’s in the midst of transitioning to a new position and responsibilities at work.
Transitions are always difficult but usually worth it. Especially when she will be moving on to something she had a great talent and passion for even since school days. Although it will be a new territory, I am sure her passion in it will see her through. The most awesome part is her boss totally acknowledge her talent in that area and will be sponsoring her for a course to brush up her skills in that field. Its really nice to see how things had a way of working itself out.
Sometimes in life after a few wrong turns, we often find ourselves losing directions and unsure of what we really want and start to have doubts on goals we were so determined to achieve just a few moments earlier. We might not always get out of the maze unscathed, but whats definite is while figuring the way, we would have picked up some lessons along the way and a better understanding of ourselves. I had read somewhere that as we get older, life will gently guide us to where we belong and we will know it when we are there =)
Although I am still unsure of what path will I be taking after my stint in auditing, I aren’t that apprehensive of it now. I am just slightly worried about my constant need for change and the fact that I still cant really settle down and seems to get bored of mundane routine life easily. A tiny part deep inside me still always yearns to do something crazy to break out from the conformity. Perhaps I just hadn’t reach my point of equilibrium yet.
