a long and winding chapter of my life has come to a close, and although i had no intention of including my professional life with it, events have made me contemplate on including this aspect as well.
i love my job. and i love the people i work with. the pay is quite good, the benefits are even better. and the perks that go with working for a big firm that is an affiliate of a global organization satisfy the ego once in a while *wink*.
but there are things in life that even the promise of a corner office in a skyscraper can never replace. or a big fat paycheck for that matter -- although, i have to admit, it really is a hard lump to swallow.
time for yourself and for your family. the chance to explore the opportunities that are now available to me upon becoming a lawyer. the joy of finally having the time to go back to my childhood passion -- painting, drawing, and crafts -- and probably earn something from it. the time to finally get the time to write and write well based on my thoughts, my words, my style. and hopefully finding an audience that will appreciate my writing.
life is never easy. so no matter what i do, where and who i work for, life will never be served on a silver platter. so i might as well work while i live. because i was given life to appreciate God's gifts -- family, loved ones, friends, my skills and talents, the beauty of the world around me -- it is my obligation to make sure that these gifts are nurtured and cherished. i will not have life just pass me by.
i do not pretend that it will be easy. letting go of the salary and benefits i receive is no joke. but God has His surprises. all the years of my life i have trusted Him on everything, why would He fail me now?
my corner area will be missed, my friends, my happy moments, and yes, my paycheck. but i look forward to the challenges and the opportunities to work, play and live!
can't wait to draw once again :)
