Who are you ?
Today is the last day at work for one of my friends. He has moved on from our company to start his own firm – specifically a music firm. He used to play music when he was in his college days. And now he has moved on to pursue his earlier career and his passion. He has started a music group and probably in sometime will start a music production house and many other things along with that. I read with a great amount of happiness and some pangs of jealousy, his farewell note to some of us in the organization. I mulled over the event and realized that he is probably one of the few people i will definitely appreciate and hold in high regard in my lifetime
To discard something where you are most comfortable,a job where you earn a lot of money and are good at doing it is very difficult. To discard that at the peak of your career is what a lot of people would call foolhardy. But there are very few people in the world who are brave enough to take such a step. All of us keep thinking how uncomfortable we are in our current job, why others got promoted, what is my colleagues salary and why is his increase higher than mine. All of us stage political gambits to win our supervisor as well as our organization’s favor. All of us think how foolish is the person who quit his job to pursue what he likes ?
None of us even bother to think on what it takes to take that bold step. It is not easy, but neither is it difficult. All it takes is for one to find out what he really wants to be and then pursue it diligently. But very few of us even know what we want out of life. We tend to visit masters, gurus , read a lot of self help books to understand who we are and what we want to do and where we want to go. These books will never help you arrive at the reason. These books will never tell you what is correct and what is wrong. It is you who have to collect information, ruminate and then decide on what to do. We are our own masters and there can be no one who can lead you towards your utopia
