Reminisce 2016
Bye Bye 2016!!! Welcome 2017!!! Everybody is saying or writing or thinking this same sentence for a couple of days. While people are being regretful or thankful for this past year, I thought I too will pour my soul and my feelings for the year 2016. Well to be honest, 2016 was a hot mess for me but I also have lot of things to be grateful for, I think that's everyone’s story. While at the outset, I know there is not much of a change in my life, I was sloughing in my country before I got this job in a different country where I am currently sloughing my butt off. Although its completely true, its still a big step for me to be completely away from my family and be on my own. Many of my friends and relatives ask me why I did it. Why did I shift to a different country in a completely different work profile and I have no answer for these questions. Truth is I am afraid I will never have answer to these questions, coz the profile in which I am working currently, I am not enjoying it either. I know you are beginning to get bored of my ranting, thinking what is this person crying about, atleast she has a job for Christ sake!!! Many people today are sleeping hungry there are people who have a good reason to cry rather than this sad and useless person who is just using tumblr as her personal diary.
You might be right but just work with me over here for a while ok. I know many of us go about our day to day lives with no thought to spare about what we are doing, what’s the purpose of our lives, someday you watch a movie or read an inspirational story about regular people like us who made it big and you feel useless. Well it might or might not be regular occurrence for you but its a constant question that ceases to cajole my mind.
I always thought of working abroad, so I landed up in a job here in different country with less or non existent pay to begin with. But this was a good experience. See how I am already making my job a past tense. I wish I knew where I was going, I am always thinking like this, where am I going, what will I end up doing, will I just exist or will I do something eventful with my life. More than anything in the world, I want to have a goal, something to work on, some passion that will keep me awake at night, something I m not just good at, I should be the best in that, hell I should be a legend, what good are you doing with your life If you are not rocking at what you do
And I don’t mean things that are out of the world, it can be anything, if you are a housewife and you are really good at running a household, if you are a businessman you are constantly thinking of strategically expanding your business, meeting or exceeding your break even pointe, if you are in high school, getting good grades or exceling in sports /dance/drama or be exceptional in that science project. It can be anything but why settle for average when you can be the best, right? But I don’t know what I am even good at to begin with. I suck at cooking, I was always average in studies, projects, sports ( ok I sucked at sports too).
So what’s that one or maybe many things that will keep me on my toes, that inspires me to not be average but the best. Maybe something is out there which I have not explored or maybe there is nothing.
Although even i have my own regrets for 2016, that I did not work the way I should have in my job, towards my goals or rather set some goal in life to begin with, but I feel that 2016 was a step, big or no time will decide but it was a step ahead indeed.
Please let me know what was the step that you took to make your 2017 awesome
