Getting out of your comfort zone..

Gosh.. Its been two n a half yrs since I wrote my last blog... Time flies.. Every time in these last few yrs I would be like I should restart but somewhere in this rat race you get caught up.. And trust me, thats not where you want to be..

And someone has rightly said, 20yrs from now you wont regret what you did, you will regret what you didnt do.

So coming down to my current post. Life is good, earning a good big handsome salary. But somewhere down the line, the dreams are much, much bigger and somewhere my heart wants to achieve those dreams. A minor setback here and a minor setback there and casually I started looking for more options. Something new to do, something challenging to do. And after a 3 month search I cracked an offer. And thats where I came face to face with reality.

It is damn damn difficult to breakout from your comfort zone. I love my current job, I have wonderful colleagues, the company is fantastic and I am in my comfort zone. But then should I let this offer go, will I live to regret it. The confusion was maddening.

And thats when it dawned on me... What would go wrong? Max to max I would be in the job market again after another yr. Thats it. Nothing more than that. Its not going to kill me
But what if its the right decision? Then I flow with it. I flow with it to greener pastures. I flow with it closer to my dreams. I flow with it to the sky
My decision was made. I had got my answer. And within a couple of hours I had put in my papers.

I am yet to join my new organisation. But I know its gonna be awesome.

So as I sign off I am pasting something I came across on the internet yesterday which sums up everything I want to say
"“As I go off into the big black abyss of my future, I have to admit that I am terrified and also a bit insecure in my decisions. But, I also realize that anyone who has ever gone off into uncharted waters must have felt similar to the way I feel now, which gives me a small ounce of comfort. I don’t know how to do what I am doing, I have no way of knowing if this is the right way or not. But I guess I’ll never know until I get there. So, this is me, being a pioneer.”  - Leigh Herskovich"
