Embracing Change with Willingness

(1 minute reading)

Are you willing for a change?

There are those who are averse to change, and then there are individuals like me

who thrive on it. I squarely belong to the lager group. Throughout my life, I've

embarked on journeys that have led me to different homes, cities, countries,

continents, languages, and cultures. I didn't change my family or my husband,

but I did part ways with some pseudo-friends (or they parted ways with me),

holding onto the true gems among them.

This perpetual state of flux extends beyond mere successes. It's been marked by

numerous failures, countless tears, and a considerable amount of personal

growth. Constant adaptation demands a tremendous amount of energy. Some

people test their limits in the gym, conquer Everest, or delve into motorsports. I

choose to test my limits through life-altering changes.

In this transformative process, I've been fortunate to encounter remarkable

individuals who generously shared their wisdom and provided a some landing

during many a fall. Whenever I felt without a clear life purpose, I turned to

learning. I delved into subjects far removed from my initial training—subjects

such as Physics, Chemistry, Nutrition, Japanese Philosophy, Traditional Chinese

Medicine, Oriental Therapies, Sports, French, Korean, and Mandarin. Books

became my faithful companions, and audiobooks accompanied me on every step

of my journey through the cities I called home.

With this acquired knowledge, I've sought to shape my mind into a versable

toolbox. Wherever I venture, it travels with me, proving immensely useful. It has

served as my support and guide. Sometimes, when I look back, I ponder how

different I might be today if someone had guided me in constructing my

toolbox—someone who had extended a helping hand when I was lost.

For those who have collaborated with me, it's evident that sharing information

is second nature to me. When the desire to absorb knowledge is present,

information flows naturally. Understanding my origins and facing an uncertain

destination, I feel a responsibility to reach out and declare: Forge ahead!

Embrace change without fear! However, I also bear the responsibility of

imparing useful knowledge to ensure smoother adaptation and cushion the falls

along the way.
