I have been in my current role for 6 years and I have made up my mind that it is time for me to seek other opportunities inside and outside of my current employment. I am not looking to move up the management ladder but to seek out activities and responsibilities that will challenge and broaden my perspectives in my professional portfolio and personal development. I am grateful for the culmination of events that has helped me to come to this conclusion. While everything from a career perspective is up in the air, from a grand scheme of things, it is not too bad and also it is all about finding out about myself.
The Roosevelts: An Intimate History by Ken Burns is featured on PBS.org. I have watched the first few of the seven part documentary series. I am grateful to learn about their history – Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelts. Most profoundly how they individually overcame personal obstacles that are so raw and their relentless focus to positively transform the nation. I am looking forward to watch the entire series. I am grateful to the people who created and made the documentary available to the public.
I have also came across Ernest Hemingway's quote "The world breaks everyone, and afterwards many are strong at the broken places". I am grateful to come across this quote. In my opinion the quote poignantly describes an aspect of life whether you are a public figure or just a mere individual. I want to come out strong whenever I can and whenever it makes sense. Whenever I falter, I want to draw the lessons of life and become a happier and fulfilling individual.
I saw Kathryn Schulz TED video "Don't regret regret". I am grateful that she shared her perspectives on regret. Despite waiting for awhile before getting her tattoo, she instantly regretted it after she walked out of the tattoo parlor. I like her tattoo - it's a compass, it has a meaningful reminder to her. Her intent was for the tattoo to remind her to continue to explore and simultaneously not forget her true north.
