One life.Just one.Why aren't we running like we are on fire towards our wildest dreams?
There comes a time when we all have to make a difficult choice. Though the choice is yours, sacrifice is unavoidable.
I received a job offer via phone call earlier today. While my calculated brain says "yes", my passionated heart which yearns for fulfilling a long-neglected dream, whispers "no". Believe me, I've never felt this level of confusion before.
There is no denying the fact that this job offer at a reputable organisation comes with numerous benefits and opportunities, and more importantly, accepting this will resolve a substantial portion of my financial worries now. On the surface, this seems like the answer to my prayers, but deep inside I feel the internal conflict tearing my soul.
I've got this long-neglected dream that I stashed in the shadows for far too long due to the demands and responsibilities of life. Like many of you, I used to be tied to the 9-to-5 job which offered us financial stability just enough to keep our head above the water but left our dream buried deep.
I want to revive this buried dream. At the same time, fully aware of the fact the path to my dream is full of uncertainties, and the risks are undeniable. Yet, the thought of escaping the 9-to-5 even for once (for the sake of this one-shot chance to bring it back to life), of pursuing my own aspirations calls to me and encouraging me to follow it.
I may be letting my emotions cloud my judgement on this but only two outcomes can arise from this decision: either a better situation or a worse one. I am ready to embrace either one.
If this turns out for the better, my future self will be grateful for the courage I showed by taking the leap of faith. On the other hand, this will become a lifelong lesson, showing that some mistakes in life can come at a high cost.
Let the time reveal the outcome.
