A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
By-design we want predictability.
We detest change. We want to avoid it at any cost.
Matter of fact we strongly crave for security. We yearn for easy life.
We desire stable, forever wonderful-world but not at the cost of peace-of-mind and suffering.
However.
What I have also realized is — without stepping into the unknown; without willfully-taking risks, without sacrifices, and without the discomforts and sufferings there’s no stability; there’s no real-progress; there’s no real-growth.
Soon I’ll be bidding bye to Bank of America — my current company.
The first company I worked for in the US.
The company that introduced me to the US tech ecosystem.
The company where I befriended wonderful colleague, understood the depth and the breadth of US banking. Most importantly with Bank of America, I get to kick-off my professional journey here in the US which perhaps once was only a dream.
It’s scary as the day nears before I finally uninstall the VPN application, and get off the Bank of America’s grid, and scour out onto the wilderness from these used-to comforts.
Contrarily.
I also have this wave of excitement and tingling sensations for a new destination and the path that lies ahead.
Namaste.
