...the interplay of light and shade
Speechless
March 27, 2009It’s been a while. I’ve come to realize, I really don’t want to go back to the corporate world. Even if I have to struggle with a small business to earn my keep, so be it. It was more than brain drain. It was worse than burn-out. I’ve discussed this with others, a lot. They think that being an employee is the only way. I think otherwise. Right now, I’m not in the mood to speak my mind…even to the people who matters. I have done my share of talking. I’m bone tired of trying to prove myself. Trying to prove that I made the right choice. Even if for the moment, I can not feel any financial success or renumeration. For now, I only want to do things. People ask me how am I. The standard reply is - I’m ok. I’ve also realized that for the moment, I don’t want to practice my profession. No matter what other people will say. After a series of disappointments and setbacks, I want to take a breather. When I am back to my old confident self, maybe I could consider the possibility of practicing my profession again. For now, I have to find myself and determine what I really want.

Thanks for the recommendation reset! I’ve read that years ago, maybe I should read it again. I’m trying different interests right now to determine the right career for me. 
Kapag naging masaya ka na, na hindi binibilang ang laki ng pera na naitabi o mga materyal na bagay na mayron ka, don mo pa lang masasabi na kuntento ka na sa buhay mo.
Darating ang panahong ‘ypn. Minsan binibigyan tayo ng “pahinga” para mas makilala natin ang ating sarili at tayo na rin mismo ang magtuturo kung saan mahahanap ang katiwasayan at kapayapaan.
Kaya yan
Posted by J.Kulisap at June 5, 2009, 5:33 pmThanks for your comments J.Kulisap! You are right, financial success is not the measure of one’s contentment. Monetary rewards can never compensate for the lost time and other important things in life. I’m tired of the “rat race”, that’s why I decided to go sabbatical, for now…
This might also be my much needed “break” to think things through and finally find my own source of peace and hapiness.
