If I could go back to five years ago, what would I fix, do differently or choose again? This is actually a great one to write on cos it gives opportunity to reminisce and reflect on what could have happened differently if I had done things the opposite way of how I had done it. If I had made different decisions at some crucial point of my life when I was eager to make them. If I was sensitive enough to hold importance to some red flags. I surely would have had those precious time shaping my life to more better.
Though the prompt organizer said our reflections are not of regret, but definitely without mincing words, when you remember some things done, some actions or steps taken and some lifestyles been lived, that contradicts the future we once dreamed and envisioned, then there will surely be a form of regret thinking about it.
Now, if I have the opportunity to go back in 5yrs, I wouldn't change the course I studied in school as it still resonates with the technology advancement of the world now but I Will just enhance and broaden my path of knowledge about it, not based or reliant on what I will be taught in school alone that doesn't even tally with the world I'll be facing when I'm out of the 4 walls of the school.
I would ensure that even as I am happy to have gone for my NYSC and got a good job, my own craft and line of business is not dejected and put on a hold because of another person's work where I could be fling out in any seconds. I would ensure I retain every clients that comes my way and DM, putting my work first in as much as I'm trying to serve the organization I work for to contribute my quota to the success of the organization.
But at least, as I am devoted to their work, I am also dedicated to building my brand and craft continuously, erasing the thinking that this white colar job is just for a few years to raise money so I can set up my art gallery and in the process, falling out of limelight little by little.
Nah! I'll surely avoid that because as an employee, there's no job security. No be my papa inheritance now, you get?
A lot to be changed from my past life. Not because I lived recklessly but because of some rash and unwise decisions I took. The time I could have just made a decision to resign instead of pushing through for relocation on threat or when I could have decided to call it quit at the third year but ignored all signs and endured in wasting 4 more years till it all got flopped.
In all, I am thankful for life, for growth no matter how small it may look or sound, for the paths I threaded and came back safe, some got lost in it.
