New Start

It all starts with a resignation... Resignation doesn't necessarily means that you QUIT... Not in my case atleast... I just call it, to stop doing something when u realise you dont wanna do it anymore! There are times in life when u know that what you are doing is not making you happy and you just want to do something else... So a way out, is a resignation! Believe me, its not an easy thing... Suddenly you fall into the category of 'Unemployed'... A harsh word! It is, for me...
I remember the days when i used to flash my card especially in front of my friends when it was time to pay the check or just put in my netbanking password and order things online.... Not anymore! Now i have to seriously consider while spending because there is no invisible hand putting money in my bank account anymore... That's right; I'm unemployed.. Ouch! That hurt again...
But lets get to why i resigned or the term that we use at my workplace.. sorry ex-workplace... 'put down my papers'; I wanted to follow my dream! My dream of travelling around the world...
I really have no clue how to go about doing it... But i know one thing for sure... I am gonna do it! There was something my ex-employer said when i was resigning... Something about passion and ambition. It goes like, what i am doing at my workplace is my ambition and to take up a hobby like travelling for example would be my passion... Hmmm... Mind started thinking... Passion and ambition! Was it my ambition to excel at the place where i worked??? Does following my passion mean that i can only take it up as a hobby??? While my ex-employer kept saying things in order to confuse me and make me change my mind about resigning; i was on a totally different level! Passion and ambition.... The answer was right there! Combine the two...
Why can't my passion be my ambition as well??? Why can't i travel which is a.) my passion , then make my name in that field and b.) it becomes my ambition.
It made sense to me... That's it! I made my decision... I swear on the glass show piece of the eiffel tower of Paris that my friend ( you know who you are) gave me, I'm gonna follow my dream, take up my passion as a serious profession and do something that i really wanna do.... Travel! Travel all over the world... Throughout my life (if possible!!!)
Make people believe in following their dreams....
