i let go to behold

Time and experience changes us. Our values change, beliefs change and perspective change.

Not too long ago, I thought all I wanted was to put in more hours to work, so as to earn more. Having picked up a part time job through the weekend, I reaped a humble sum of money for the effort I had put in. Nonetheless, in the recent year, dearie opened my eyes to the other things worth my “investment” of time too.

What differs is: these investments do not reap an immediate pay cheque at every month end.

What’s similar: they require me to put in constant hours and it’s a commitment, like a job.

These investments call for discipline and a relentless effort to learn. I must continue to look for areas I have to fill and keep my head up when navigating through the labyrinth of unknown seems daunting.

In return, I will reap a progression in career which would often come with a more attractive pay package. Granted an increase inflow of monetary gain, I will have greater financial liberty.

With all my 2 hands can hold, I have loosened my grip on one lasso – my part time job. It is through the letting go that I can now grasp another – learning.

I gave up what is immediate to pursue that which is long term. Apart from that, I gain some time to train more!

As I envisage an ideal Sunday.......

Morning: bike training+brick run / Inline skating / join a training group?

Late morning: have a good breakfast and 1-2hours of rest

Noon: Go NLB to research, read materials, do research

Evening: Have dinner with mummy

Rest early to get ready for work on Monday.

Saturday

Morning: Catch an early swim

Learn inline skating! (for apr-may)

Noon-evening: Go shopping with mum/ do research

all that to behold. life will never be the same again.=)
