Searching

In an amazing turn of events, I've come across over the past couple of week people who are searching for something. As I leave Design Punctuation's post for tomorrow, I could not help but needing to communicate the events of the past few weeks. 


Even though they are not "government-shutdown" big, they are quite meaningful in a subtle way. A good friend started a new job yesterday in search of a brighter future, another friend will quit her job today in search of respect at the workplace, and someone else is traveling long distances exploring a new relationship.


They all have something in common which is a thirst for leaving something that was wrong in their lives and are taking action into changing their lives around. I believe them to be very courageous as what lies ahead is pretty uncertain except the faith that they have made the right choice.


Somehow I'm feeling inspired by blind faith, by risking so much certain that the grass IS greener on the other side, and by people's self confidence that they can achieve everything they set their minds into... What are you searching for these days? And, what are you risking in return for the "greener grass"? I'll tell you about me on Friday...

Have a lovely day!

    I love when people drop things and follow their hearts for what they really want. It can be hard, but worth it in the end. I look forward to hearing more :) Have a great day x

    Yes! Be open to adventure. Take control of the life you want to have. The grass isn't greener on the other side, but it certainly helps to know what it's like.

    I wish I had as much courage as your friends. I would love to leave my job in search of a job where I would receive more respect and could see myself having a future.

    It is really hard to take that initial step when we may have familiarity, comfort, and stability with a current situation. I'm actually starting something quite new soon and I'll miss my old salary, but am happy at the potential impact i can make. It really helps having a supportive partner or family. I can't wait to hear your news!

    I really enjoy hearing stories about how people take a leap and what they learn in the process, especially my very own leap last year. It's really important in personal development - I'm all for it. Can't wait to hear your story on Friday

    Oh gosh! This post really spoke to me. Like a sign or something. Thank you. It's important sometimes to step away from familiarity and take a step towards something new. I need to do that in all aspects of my life.
