I made a decision! Yes. Again! Always! Aren’t we all do? 😅.

They say you can’t control the wave, but you can learn to surf the wave. None of them remind us that we can choose not to go to the beach, we can go to the cool mountain instead!

I am not compatible with the political and neverending dramas ‘wave’ in my working place. So I think I’m done learning to ride that wave. No… I can’t resigned. I need money..a lot of it. I am going to operate in different mode from now on, because I have different value, I have different concept of meaningful work. I need external validation less and less now, and it’s a very liberating growth!

I see a colleague take a pride in parading all the many work she’s handling by herself, eroding administrative work I call it, but she believes that she is seen ‘productive at work’ with all that tasks… And the company reward her with more tasks… And more….

After more than two decades, she’s a bitter person now. I don’t want to be like that. I’ll preserve my attention and energy for the tasks I find interesting and expanding. And though I can’t afford to have a short staycation thrice a week, I can walk far from the office setting up to 1 kilometer away. Being alone for 75 minutes 3-4;times a week at lunch break is very healthy.

Have a beautiful Friday my dearest readers! Have a lovely weekend.
