Last year today was the last day when I was paid for the day.
(I did not want to write a long congratulatory note but wanted to be precise so I decided to write just 3 things under each head)
I wrote and rewrote the first line a couple of times because apart from that rest everything else was still a reality.
I still work daily
I am still responsible for certain outcomes
I still have meetings / schedules / travel
Yes, the quantum of the above 3 is significantly less, maybe 1/4th of what I did earlier. But I choose to do a lot of other things.
I am learning what I want to learn
I feel good about what I do because it has meaning for me
I prioritize mindfully what works for me n family
But, this does not mean
I don’t have conflicts
I don’t feel lost or worthless at time
That I don’t have gnawing feeling that I could have done much better / much more
So did I learn something on the way
You can only plan that much. Rest you have to ‘Go with the flow’. Life will throw curve balls you can never escape so be ready.
Having choices is not important. Clarity of what you want is.
You cannot do it alone. Learn to trust people and letting go off your biases
