Taking A New Path

I’ve been on hiatus for 2 weeks and it’s really good to be back!
Last month has been a very busy month for me. I’ve been very busy with my job, yet I don’t know what came to my mind to take online courses and reopen my mini business at the same time. Although I have initial doubts about doing those activities at the same time, I guess I still made the right decision. Because as Priya Ardis said, “If you keep waiting for the right time, it may never happen. Sometimes you have to make the most of the time you have.”

It’s been my favorite hobby to kill time. I easily got bored and most of the time, I really don’t know what to do. But now, it seems that I am being chased all the time and I am in a hurry while wishing to have the time slower because I still have a lot of things to do. I’ve got no time to be bored because I feel like I need to do this and that. And in fairness, I also got no time to be anxious and depressed… at least for now.

It’s already a month since I started taking my online freelancing course. It’s been my dream to achieve freedom from being a corporate slave. I do appreciate all the skills and growth that I got from the corporate world. But after years of being in a rat race, I do realize that this is not the life that I am dreaming of. I got a really good salary, but it seems that it isn’t enough, I’m really looking for something that would give me a sense of purpose. I’ve been experiencing existential crisis for years and it’s giving me a hard time to love my life.

But after seeing some light in the tunnel, I decided to take a step and be courageous to grab the chances in changing my life and my mindset. And this motivates me to keep moving forward.

I have enjoyed the new skills that I learned and will be learning. I’m still halfway with my first course, yet I decided to enroll for a new course which is a Graphics Design Course. I’m not good at it, but I know that the opportunity in the Graphics Design industry is very promising, that’s why I decided to have the skills. I’m also eyeing for more courses, but I’m gonna take it step by step.

I’m going to end this blog with a quote from Bryant McGill, “Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for.”
