~ Life right now

Life right now: February 13, 2011.

It was sad to leave my other job that was the glue and stepping stone to the start of my new life in Toronto. The people at my previous job are exceptional people who carried themselves with such pose and each with their own genuine caring intriguing character- something I am not use to seeing in a professional job setting.

I took the time I needed to reflect on my journey from the start of the summer until now... and I must say... I knew I made the right decision to start my new life in Toronto. I’ve learned to build a trusting relationship with my gut and my emotions- as one of my mentors Simon Cowell says, “Your emotions is key”. Although there were several people who I love that misunderstood me, or questioned my intentions, or lost faith in my decisions, I trust that one day they will understand and the results will speak for itself. I also hope that they will understand and trust that everyone who they call family and love so dearly is trying to reach for their individual star, and that losing fate and encouragement will only lead themselves into misery.

I just started a new amazing job with an incredible company at the start of this month, February 2011. I love the work and it’s a challenge every single day. It’s definitely a perfect fit for me right now; except that I don’t like to wear a suit everyday. Lol. I find it so interesting when I observe the people at my work and their individual characters. Everyone is young in their 20’s, and I already have sorted out the elites from the people without much ambition. I find it more interesting when I observe and sort the true leaders from the great-at-just-their-job in the groups of elites. This enhanced my understanding of how important it is to not only be the best at what you do but also to build on a genuine and exceptional character that is both personable and sensible.

Aside from my professional life, I recognized that my life is more calm and well positioned after getting rid of most of the clutter in my life, and keeping focus on my priorities and the big picture. I’ve been treating myself to more solitude time as well. I read about how important it is to give yourself solitude time, and I now truly realize this importance. It was during my solitude time alone at the harbourfront last Sunday, February 6th that I was able to reflect on my journey since the start of the summer until now, and realize how much I’ve grown and changed for the better. And then I remembered that my mentor Jim Rohn turned his whole life around at the age of 25, and how he became a self made millionaire by the time he was 30 years old- I find this intriguing. Hehehe... we’ll see. Everyday I’m either reading my business magazines during my spare time or listening to autobiographies and speeches. It amazes me on how much I crave for more knowledge and wisdom, and how I take the time to try and absorb all of it and use everything that I learn to the best of my abilities. Life ahead is only brighter, and everyday I’m becoming more confident, more capable, and more believing in that all my humongous dreams are within reach. I know I will get there and achieve all of it, and whoever doubts any of this... well, lets just say... I’ll be the loudest one laughing dazing at the sunset.
