Changes

On-going change is healthy for the body and soul...but how much, how radical and what can be changed? In the past few months many things have evolved in my life with some being rather dramatic whilst others have taken a slower pace. Physical change: I have re-joined the gym and in the past two weeks, I have already experienced gradual strength building in my muscles. I have gone from 3.5 push ups to 15! The muffin top I have been complaining about is also disappearing slowly. I have struggled with a few issues such as weight, feeling too short, eczema and asthma but finally doing something about it...I have more energy, am happier and don't feel like such a couch potato. Learning outcome: work hard and appreciate the body I have been blessed with. Listen to my body and the warning signs it provides. Mentally: I have finally been awarded an MBA specialising in Human Resources Management after 1.75 years! It's not so much the degree, it is that I have tried and given up so many times so easily on several things and have finally completed something. I quit university more times than I can remember and have never been very "academic" and learn much better on-the-job. I am glad to announce I am on the final semester of a Bachelor of Adult Learning & Development. Learning outcome: Find something that is challenging and of interest. Commit to it and be good at it. It is possible to do things if you put your mind to it and commit time and energy. I am halfway through my 24th year and this seems to be my midlife crisis. As of this point, I have no job, no Bachelor degree and have recently ended the most perfectly great relationship with my best friend of 5.5 years. After some reflection, many of my decisions have been made in haste and precious time has been wasted. People that matter have been neglected, study time wasted, money squandered. What have I learnt? Be good to those you care about, be kind, generous and supportive. Listen with empathy and view situations through more than one lens. Change is good but be aware of the consequences and make sure the change will make a better you. Communicate...no one is a mind reader.

Revelation

I took my first accounting class back in 2007 and I scraped a pass. Today, after returning to finally finish Uni Jan 2012, I actually read a chapter of the book and realized it isn't so bad after all. A=L+E I cannot believe after graduating from high school so long ago I would be on my final semester of school. I actually semi enjoy it and have learnt more in the past 2 years in formal institutes from classmates and conversations than I have from the text books. Many things have happened since I last wrote and I hope to continue and be more dedicated to this blog no matter how many people read it. These past 2 years have been very busy juggling full time work (Financial Planning and Banking) and full time study X 2 (Bachelor of Adult Learning & Development and MBA-HRM). I am sad to say I have resigned from my full time job in pursuit of more flexibility and to focus on this final stretch. Many good things have happened though and one thing I look forward to is my trip to the States to see family and celebrate a few marriages along the way. Slowly learning to be satisfied and appreciative of all the luck and love I have in my life.

Wednesday hump day. Feet in the hot tub. Doing homework. Watching princess diaries.
