| 1) free lunch! 2) sometimes you need a reminder to appreciate what you have. I got that reminder today. Working on something that still gets me excited, when the thought of not doing them makes you sad you know the truth. I made one mistake of leaving an amazing team, I will not make the mistake again. Let me leave it at that. 3) I came home at 3 and watched a movie to get my mind off some things. Jacobinte Swargarajyam. How do people do business and get rich in one generation in Dubai? Lot of hard work yes but where do they learn how to do business? I got two ideas from the movie - I need to find a mentor outside of my company. I really really really need a mentor. More like a career advisor. Worst case, back to MBA plans. I so don't want to take the GMAT again ugh, even exec MBAs require them. - I would like to start one side business. Tours and travels was a good idea. Can people just start and be profitable? I absolutely enjoy planning vacations ;--P can I be an entrepreneur in that field ;--P I am itching to do something. Really. I am all fired up. I am ready to put in the effort just need an idea which I truly believe in!
4) the good news is because of 2 I am ready to actually focus on my work tomorrow. Because it really is something I have longed for. The independence, trust, teeny bit innovation or creativity, problem solving, respect, how my decisions affect work of so many people. Yes I need a course change, but I can do it slowly, plan for it. I am not in a bad state - I have to say that to myself a million times. I read this today -
"Steve Jobs said, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it, keep looking. Don't settle." I wasn't unhappy because I was struggling, I was struggling because I was unhappy. And there was an obvious way to solve that problem."
It is not just me struggling to find the perfect job!! I know I will do super awesome in that perfect job. Only caveat is I might die looking for it ;--P at least I am learning what I don't want to do, what I need.
5) at the gym. Should make me happy.
So so day. God help me! Why does my mind have to go on such overdrive?!
