The Step Forward

Been a year since I left my stable job of more than 7 years, the comfortable environment, the colleagues who were almost like family and the bonuses.

What makes me give up all these, to try out something totally new and foreign? Is it the hope for better salary, more job opportunities or .. a dream?

A workaholic, nothing motivates me more than keeping myself busy and useful at work. New knowledges and challenges are almost like adrenaline rush, giving that excitement and the nudges that pushes you to grow.

Basically, I enjoy working! Sounds cliche? I really don't think so. I'm sure, there are many like me, people who enjoys working, and enjoy being useful to the society.

It's imperative then that I enjoy my job and what I do. Imagine spending so much time working, and every single bit of it is a chore? This, would really be pathetic and sad. However, some people really do not have much choices. And since I have that choice, I decided to take it, and try to "savour" each and every part of the move, taking this like an adventure that will add a new chapter to my life.

Although I won't say I have already landed in that dream job. Nevertheless, the step forward has been rewarding and I'm definitely enjoying what I'm doing.

There's definitely no regret and the sacrifices have been worth it.

If not, they could always be that motivators, to remind me that I need to treasure and appreciate what I have.
