The 2 Most Difficult🔨Choices I’ve Ever Had To Make In Life
At age 23, I had to leave the country I was born and raised in
Expatriates!!! Assemble
Disclaimer ⚠️
This wouldn't have happened to Me if only I had Goals 🎯 in Life.
In a way it was good because people who do have goals are the saddest and cant't do anything if the plan A doesn't work. They don't know how to pivot.
Hard Choice #1: Starting a Job I Hated🗡️
I hadn't completed my bachelor's degree yet. There was so much going on and taking up this new job would mean that I would be allowed to stay and be able to study but will be stuck in the rat race forever working in Shifts. I still took it, beggars are not choosers.
It killed me every day for the next 10 years, a decade of my life.
My 20s were gone. I traded them for an easy life.
People don't usually get time to think about what they want to be after school. Last thing you hear about them is that He got a job. In this job, I got time to think and plan my future by trying out different things while keeping this Job.
I'm saying Job and Not Career for a reason.
Hard Choice #2: Starting to Write✍️
In 2001 United Nations awarded me to be the best essay writer in the Arab World(that's 22 countries baby)
I read Rich Dad Poor Dad years ago, and now I realized what it was telling me. Work coz you have to but build your business on the side. So I'm dropping my CISSP certification at work to pursue my Hobby.
Perhaps writing will work for me?
So I am taking up writing.
Maybe this is just fake work I'm doing to make myself happy and all these aren't really going anywhere. If I do not take this step for myself then I will be killing someone inside of me.
I won't know unless I don't try.
The job that I hate will provide me with the backing to pursue this new endeavor.
