I am very good at adjustment, so as I felt about myself for sure one month ago.
I have moved biggly several times in my life. I say biggly, it’s because I moved from one city to another city, one country to another country, one continent to another continent, one region of the world to another region of the world… I love meeting new people, new world and gaining new experiences.
During as these moves, I have adjusted myself fairly well. These because it has been me making all the choices to move around. I have been on the driver seat. Even though I have faced many challenges for each movement, I have been super excited to embrace each movement. I attribute these as I am good at adjustment for a new environment.
What if I have to move to another city, another country, or another continent, and it is Not my choice? What if I have to move, to leave, and I have to accept it?
This happened to me one month ago. I was bought out by the company.
This is the life.
Life happens while I am busy to make other plans.
This time I was not the driver. This time I moved to another continent, another country, which is a one I used to live, it is a one I was familiar with seven years ago, it is a one many many people hope if they can pay a visit in their dreams.
I was not in a good mood to do a good adjustment this time for two weeks!
I stopped doing everything I usually was doing from that point on, including my daily blogging.
This is not me.
I am someone who is agile, mature, and resilient… so I have been reminded by my family and friends, my loyal supporters in my life.
I became feeling better in week three.
I became more sensible in week four.
I actually moved forward in week five. I physically moved out the country and back to “civilization”.
When the first astronaut landed on moon, we know his one step on moon means a giant leap in human history.
Somehow I feel that my one step move from continent to another means a giant leap for my life. I am free. I am in good hands. Sounds contradicting… yet I feel this way.
Today I appreciate that I feel content. I appreciate that I am back to one of the best parts of the world. I appreciate that my family has been with me on every step along the road. I appreciate that I can access the abundant resources easily. I appreciate that I have likeminded people around me. I appreciate that I have clean air to breath, clean water to drink, nice gym to work out…
I am grateful for where I am today.
But, I am not sure I can call this is a good adjustment as comparing many moves and adjustments I’ve done in my life. Because this time is different from any other moves I made. This move is not a typical moves for me.
I bet many people have had dramatic changes happened to their lives as well. These may not involve physical moves for one country to another country. However, big changes in anyone’s life are challenging.
Take a moment and make an inventory for what you have in your life when big changes happen in your life.
Think what you can appreciate at this moment.
You can make a whole lot difference for your life and the life people around you.
Life is beautiful. It has all flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty. Enjoy them fully.
