The only thing that is constant in this world is change. Be that as it may, a lot of people take any kind of change as simply disruptive and an unwelcoming idea.
I may now be one of those people to some degree. When I was younger, I welcomed change just like changing outfits. Testament to that was my career moves and company transfers in an effort to get to where I wanted fast. Getting pirated by another firm with a juicy offer and a career advancement was the norm. I was an aggressive twenty something, who had a specific objective to reach at the age of twenty five. It was very detailed and straight to the point, that I was going to declare myself a failure if I didn’t achieve it. I was driven and unyielding. No wonder that at that time (in my early twenties), a lot of people thought that I was in my early 30’s, and I only got those business suits to blame.
I don’t regret any single career move I made in the past. Looking back, I would not have been the person that I am today if I didn’t do what I did. I’m now a secured stay at home wife who is no longer power hungry and unyielding. I’ve been there and done that. I must say that I have peaked and achieved what I wanted in my professional life. Now, it’s time to relax and smell the roses. As you see, I have survived the biggest move in my life – and that is moving from the Far East to the West. That has been the biggest move I’ve taken so far. At my age, I would hate to move cross country if I can help it, but the promise of warmer weather is enticing. When that happens, I’m sure we can peruse those professional cross country movers.
I don’t even want to think about moving at this point though. Just the idea of it gives me stomach cramps. You’ll know why, when the time comes.

I think it would be hard to understand why you would dare exchange the sought after Apple City spot and the ever rewarding Wall Street position that you and your hubby are enjoying right now to any place and job in the world. Maybe such change passes your fancy once in a while but kinda huge to be taken seriously.
Heto raw ako o, nakikialam! Wla lang, natutuwa lang ako for you and the beautiful life you are enjoying over that side of the globe.
Have a pleasant Sunday, J!
Tita Beng´s last blog ..Janina, this is for you!
@ Tita Beng
believe it or not, we do toy with the idea of leaving the Big Apple… and the allure of Wall Street A LOT. rewarding as it may seem for me and my husband, nakakapagod and there are times when he is burnt out from it. the beauty of very early retirement is more likely if everything goes well.
no, hindi naman pakikialam yan ha. I don’t mind, and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Change. I’m not too crazy about change. Ewan ko ba kung baket but I’ve always been happy with whatever I have. Of course there were times where it’s inevitable but if I can help it, I’d rather stay put kumbaga. But like you said, change is good…once in a while…hehe.
How’s your Monday so far? Natuloy ba yung snow storm dyan during the weekend?

thanks for your kind words and for dropping by.
yes, go ahead and link up. TY!
Depends on what situation, some changes are hard to accept. As long as you dont regret you make the changes, it is fine.

@ Rose
yes, indeed. that is why I wrote, it can be good. of course, if the situation is not favorable to a particular person it would be really hard to accept.
