It’s the big elephant in the room so I guess I need to write about my recent resignation from this IT company. Also, people have changed my name from “Arn” to “Arn! Congrats! Bakit ka nagresign?” since that’s how I’ve been greeted since October 22.
I’ll keep it short and simple, I answered this question:
“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
My answer was: “I would quit my job to be with my wife and pay more attention to her, my health, my family, my photography, plan Jaye and I’s future together and make things happen.“
The key word is the word that I didn’t use: “wait”.
People have called me brave. People have called me romantic. People have called me a boneheaded idiot.
I’ll tell you one thing though – it feels better than I imagined. There’s a difference between pressing the pause button and the stop button. There’s a huge difference if you press the off button and this is me now – off. At last my mind is working the way it’s supposed to be and have my priorities in check. I’ve also started thinking differently, have a longer patience and I see things a lot happier now. BP has changed from poor to healthy. Life just got a lot brighter and more interesting. I know there’s nothing coming in yet through my bank account but I couldn’t really care less. Life has been too happy for me to notice.
So what would you do if you weren’t afraid?
