The cooler weather has finally arrived today and I’m ready for it. I need it even. This year it was difficult for me to accept hot days, the constant feeling of overheating, not being able to sit in my attic room for longer than one hour (even with the fan on) and the slowness they’ve brought with them, I felt heavy, my mind felt heavy.
You know this saying: When someone is ready to learn, teacher appears (I’m not sure if it’s exactly this, but it’s the gist of it anyway)? I was thinking if another version of this may be true: When someone is ready for change, opportunity appears. Gosh, I wish it may, because I’m so ready for it. I’m talking about my working life mainly here, but I know that it would mean a bigger change than only a job.
Funnily enough there’s nothing really wrong with my job right now. It needs some tweaks, but even that is already in the works. It’s just not what I want to do. I want to work in a different way, I want to feel passionate about what I do, I don’t want to feel the need to flee on four weeks holidays from it and wish that it would never end.
I always say that I want work which I’ll never feel the need to retire from. Maybe it’s too much to ask, but I also know that it’s possible.
