contentment

there's a fine line between being content and being lazy. sometimes people just say they are content and so live their lives just doing what they do. and they do it day in, day out every year. i almost did that as well. i had a good paying job, i didn't have to do really heavy work. but i quit. part of it was because i was no longer happy with the work environment. second, was that i needed to grow. i felt stuck in a rut in the office i used to go to.

now i am happy with my online job. it's exciting and always keeps me on my toes. i also do part-time work that is really in line with my profession. it's fulfilling knowing i work hard for my money. i guess having a lot of time to spend with the baby and the bf is a good thing too. before, when i worked 8-5, i felt so pressed for time. time was not enough and time flew so fast. now, i have time to enjoy breakfast, i can sleep in, i can choose to start working in the afternoon only etc. there is more time to spend with the people i love and do the things i enjoy.

if i wanted to be content, i should have stayed with my old job and grew old with my officemates. however, life pushes us to do something else. and i took push that in stride. i accepted the fact that maybe it was time to go and move on. and that choice has made my life better. in the next few years, maybe i'll choose another career. i'm open to that. i'd rather be excited and be on my toes, than have my feet dragging in the ground.

if you do what makes you happy, you won't have to work a day in your life. at least that's what they say...
