Reintegrating Myself

It’s been six months already since I got back from my backpacking trip and yet, it seems that the trip was just yesterday. I didn’t bother to do anything on my first two months.

I started making this blog last October and I also started sending out resumes around the same time. I also tried applying online for some job even if I wasn’t really seriously looking.

Today is March 18, 2010, I’ve been officially bumming for a year! Oh yeah, one year. I left my last job last March 2009 and I’m not missing it at all aside from the very nice people that I met there and of course I miss my salary (because I’m dead broke right now lol).

What have I learned so far?

I’ve learned that I don’t want to put up with difficult people. I’d like to just stay around people with positive attitude (as much as I can).

I’ve learned that reality may sometimes be harsh but its reality and I should deal with it.

I’ve learned to trust my gut feel a lot.

I’ve learned that my mistakes and my achievements don’t define me as a person.

I’ve learned that security cannot be given to you by anyone or anything. You have to give it to yourself.

I’ve learned that life is just an experience that I have to go thru.

I’ve learned that difficult situations don’t really improve your character. But rather it brings out your true character.

I’ve learned that even if I hate money and the idea of money, I still need money.

I’ve learned that success is a decision and not a product of any external circumstances.

Now that I’ve fully decided to work and be part of the labor force again, I’m quite excited with how I will react with the same stuff again.

In a couple of days, or maybe weeks, I’ll be wearing my long sleeve shirt and sit in front of the computer for hours again.

Life’s journey seems to be not all about moving from one place to another. Maybe it’s also about the decisions that we’ve been making and the actions that we’re taking that lead us to another chapter in our lives.
