Amazing Grace

• I can relate to people, connect, and build relationships, but...
• Take off the pressure of socializing or being at your 100%
• Healing cannot be rushed. 
• You need to treat yourself with love, kindness and patience. 
  
• Remember there is always another way, even if you have to get lost to find it.
• Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.
• It takes the darkest storm to produce the brightest rainbow. 
• The path to your destination is not a straight one, you’re going to have to take many detours.
• When the world says give up, Hope whispers try it 1 more time. 
• The rubble of broken dreams provides the building blocks of future hope.
• Don't allow small minds to tell you that your dreams are too big.
• Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. 
• Playing it safe in a changing world is the riskiest thing you can do.
• Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only 1 remember to turn on the light. 
• How do you eat an elephant? You do it 1 bite at a time.
• Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary journey. 

YOU'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS, AND YOU'RE GOING TO COME BACK BRIGHTER AND SHINIER AND STRONGER AND WISER AND MORE GORGEOUS THAN EVEN BEFORE!!!

 "Today we celebrate you - your strengths, your dreams, your joy, and everything that makes you special. Your journey is your own, and it's filled with endless possibilities. 

Always remember that you are loved, you are capable, and you make the world better just by being you!

傳承 和 取捨

 一直以來, 我心目中的自己, 都是在進步。

不過, 過去一年發生的事, 慢慢令我開始考慮和接受, 自己也不再年輕的事實。

是"時候", 深思熟慮, 以後的路應該如何走, 或調整一下心態。

• 我, 確實不可能再跳得那樣高, 跑得那樣快; 
• 是時候學會怎樣priortize, 而且更要去學習保護自己的身體;
• 不會不會永遠都站在高點的。

這是學會謙虛, 也學會真正處世之道...

現在不能靠體能, 而是看你有多少真智慧, 作出取捨。

The Slow Pace of Healing

I should accept that my life needs to adjust to a different pace. 

The more I've pushed, the slower, the messier my recovery, and my thought process.

Perhaps I should leave my phone aside? And stop thinking and over-thinking?

Healing cannot be rushed. 

You need to treat yourself with love, kindness and patience. 

Have patience with your soul, body and yourself - it needs time and space. 

"YOU'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS, AND YOU'RE GOING TO COME BACK BRIGHTER AND SHINIER AND STRONGER AND WISER AND MORE GORGEOUS THAN EVEN BEFORE!"

Shift the focus to all the good things around - don't always look at the negatives. 

Remember: you're awesome, but you are also exhausted. 

Your major job is to recover - that really is a full-time job!

Faith

"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 

• By faith, I've left Molycop.
• By faith, I've left Markono.

Long before these 2 things, and all by faith, I've spoken lots of words, and made a lot of decisions, which others may view them as "silly" and "non-sense".

Are those words and things really "silly" and "non-sense"?

There are no logic, reason, or plannings behind. Just a gut feeling, which is my faith. 

Let's do it again. Don't worry. 

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

7月31日

終於, 都是堂堂正正地迎面把這一天活過去了!

能選擇離開過去舒適圈, 昂然踏出了第一步, 然後積極地嘗試, 這是我必須要做的。

我希望親身和孩子有互動相處的機會;

我希望妻子可以有照顧孩子外的生活圈子;

我更希望自己可以真正做自己 --

我在找有意義的改變, 真實的生活, 金錢以外的價值。

如今, 一年過去了。最後兩個月試著回到班房學習, 也試著新工作。雖然現在又回到沒有工作之身, 可是那些經歷是十分值得的: 誰會想到竟然故事會有這種曲折離寄? 

造物主是在讓你發現一些很奇妙的珍貴, 不是每個人都會這樣好彩的。

繼續努力, 定會有好的另一新開始的!

阿門

Co-incidence & Setback

結果, 又完全不是我所料。

我嘗試尋找著一些蛛絲馬跡來給自己動力去開始接受這份新工作: 

(1) 減息;

(2) 老闆的以往輝煌工作背景

(3) 電話號碼;

(4) 車牌號碼

....

可是從第一天上班開始...不, 是從第二個interview的眉來眼去, 談吐溝通, 到給予offer 時的模稜兩可、極複雜的reference check 問題...其實就已經出現了太多的red flag 訊號。

我嘗試了, 只是實在那個環境、管理和系統下, 我一點也找不到合適的感覺-- 那裡也不自在, 所以只好毅然離開。

我也有想過用growth mindset 或 leaving comfort zone 來調整自己和理解當前境況, 或留下來待有新工才離去- 只是那個惡劣氛圍和鬥爭環境下, 我唯有相信自己當下的直覺去做決定了。

話說做了離開的決定, 又出現了很多Green Flag訊號: 

(1) Raju 也同一天last date - 他是我在這公司最喜歡有笑容的人, 從1st, 2nd 到工作每一天也是開心的笑著, 跟我一样的簡單真摰;

(2) 笑和開心可以成為攻擊理由;

(3) 不知名的同事大膽地在lift 裡跟我說, 我的決定沒有錯, 這實在不是好公司。

好吧! 我只有把時間軸往前推, 推回到之前未接受這份工的時分。

可是, 雖然只是一個月...但卻有了很深刻的感受和經歷: 我認識了很好的同事, 也實在對自己的teammate 有些歉意, 畢竟我成了逃兵... 

那麼, 現在不是把時間軸向前推了, 而是把握這短短一個月所學習到的寶貴經驗, 邁向人生下半場, 找到幫我充電的人合作。
