#180 - Goodbye, old hat
Welcome, new one
Wednesday marked my last day at work. I quit the place I’ve called work for the last eleven years.
So that you readers know what I’m babbling about, here’s the heart of my goodbye message to those I worked with.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve found it easier to commit to things. I think a reason why those older find it easier to double down, be it in career or relationships, is that age tends to bring with it a heightened sense of mortality.
When I was younger, for several years, I continued to entertain the idea of open doors, the thought of a world with limitless options. I’ve come to realize that the youth can do this because they haven’t experienced loss, not like the older folks have. With age, it’s not even what you’ve lost but what you might lose out on that opens your eyes.
So here I am, ready to turn a corner. Finding myself here, my heart tells me that I’ll cherish the time spent with you for the rest of my life. There’ll never be another CACTUS again. There’ll also never be another me looking ahead at my forties. The same awareness of passing time makes it less hard for me to make this decision to move on. Not easy–just less hard.
As for what’s next for me, I'll be stepping into solopreneurship as a decision-making coach and trainer. Wish me luck 🙂
I’m done for today. Allow me to take a breath and come back right after next week.
