change
Things are changing rapidly in my life.
It started out with the decision to explore the potential employment at Yahoo! couple months ago. I didn't think I would get it, but here I am today at the end of my first week there.
I'm still trying to settle in this new environment that feels so different from NY. I got most of the external things taken care of (apartment, car, etc.), but on the inside, I'm still not here yet.
That also applies to my new job. I've started to realize few things that indicate how i'm still in my old job internally although I'm physically here.
Changes are scary, even if we wanted them to happen, because changes always demand adaptation on our end. Adaptation always means venturing into unknown territories. Everything unknown is beyond our control and not being in control is very uncomfortable.
That's how I feel as a grown up man, which is very different from how little kids face change. Yes, they also have the fear, but their curiosity bring out the sense of adventure in them. They see the unknown as a new territory to explore, not as a raging sea that would cause them their lives. They know that they'll get to the end of that paticular journet just fine. They have faith.
That's what I often lack when I face changes in my life. I need to remind myself that everything's going to be fine so I can enjoy the adventure ahead of me.
