This will be my last article for the Odyssey platform. It's time to move on. I did enjoy my time here but there are things I don't necessarily like about it. I won't go into that because I feel you guys (the readers) don't need to know the specifics and I'm also grateful to this company and I don't want to shame it. That being said I will either write on my existing Blogger website or perhaps write on the website of Medium or Wordpress . Moving on, as my last entry here I want to talk about a relevant topic concerning this change of heart. I want to talk about how I live my life and perhaps encourage you to adopt my general philosophy and lifestyle. If not to convince you then just to inform you of how my mind works and you can gain a better understanding of me which is beneficial for me and my readers if we are to have a connection.
I'm very present-oriented. Which I know can be really hard for people in general and not just for millennials. A person either has their mind concentrated on the past, present, or future. Each of them has their positive and negative side effects but the most balanced would probably be the present-oriented mindset. In this state of mind, one can easily appreciate their surroundings and just overall current state of their life. A past-oriented person is prone to sadness for dwelling about the past and the future-oriented person is more likely to be anxious because of their overthinking of the future. That is why you want to be on that sweet spot in the middle and the now is actually what really matters because your life depends on what you do right this minute. It's quite an interesting concept but, for now, that is what I will leave you with. Secondly, it is important to do what you want! Be who you believe yourself to be. Do the things you want to do and not the things that are expected from you. Don't listen to people. Do what you feel is good for you. Your inner intuition is a powerful tool. Shut out all the haters. Don't compromise on a job you don't like. Don't go along with something just because your friends are doing it or the general public favors you doing it. Of course, all of this needs to be taken at a moderate level. I'm not telling you to live your life in anarchy. Don't hurt others by the actions you favor for yourself. Be wary of your situation and how it affects the people around you.
In my life, I left my job in the Events industry because I did not like the company I was working in anymore. I felt it wasn't being run efficiently and the company's organizational skills were severely lacking. It got to the point where it became way too frustrating when something would happen that could of easily be avoided if someone had done their job right. So I just ended up quitting. I left amicably with my superiors and explained to them how I felt. I was jobless for a month and then I took up a seasonal job. Once that was over I looked for other places to work. This was about a year ago and now I have two jobs and I'm making less money and working lower hours but you know what, I don't regret my decision at all. There was no way I was going to continue working at my Events job. It was one of the best decisions I have made. And this is what I was saying about doing what you want to do. Don't waste your life away at doing something that you don't enjoy or feel a sense of desperation of doing it. And once I'm not satisfied with my current jobs I will just move on to the next thing. This is the way I like living my life. Doing what I want. So I hope you join me in my creative endeavors wherever that next place may be.
