After thinking long and hard, I finally decided to leave the company I work for and start a new life as an entrepreneur. I believe it to be a good career change and I am keeping a positive outlook.
There is one thing that I remind myself of everyday: that is, with all my future challenges and obstacles, may I face them with an open heart, gratitude, a positive attitude and compassion.
It is important for me to keep this in mind, as there is a lot of uncertainty ahead of me. Leaving my comfort zone and entering into a whole new life is a step towards insecurity.
However, without making this move, how would I know whether I can succeed or not? Therefore, challenges and uncertainties are not the main barriers; it is the way my mind perceives them that is most importance and could become an obstruction if I keep having negative thoughts about the move.
Following my resignation it is satisfying to know that the organisation appreciated my work and wanted me to stay. However, I decided to move on.
In one of my articles, I mentioned that I’d had a hard time with some of my colleagues because they believed that my intention to improve the organisation was perceived by them as interference in their own interests. I have been sending my loving kindness to them.
Unfortunately, their self-centred attitude didn’t bring them long-lasting careers; some of them have finally been asked to leave the company.
This experience has taught me that as long as we are sincere and have done nothing that is against the organisation’s interests we deserve a good result, and people who are thinking only of their own interest won’t last long and will have to face the consequences.
However, I do feel sad to see the people that I have been working with leave the organisation in such an unpleasant way. I wish them well and hope that they will learn from the lesson.
