A fork in the road
So I have been M.I.A. because I was unmotivated and uninspired at work which was impacting this website along with my old website (part of my master’s program) and everything else in my life. When I created the current site I was on a high “Awesome! The site is up and running it took you 2 days to create this and you are set! No more excuses.” Well it was never the excuses as much as the lack of motivation and lack of happiness— so I decided to walk away from a cushy job to follow my passion and do something that has meaning. I had never “quit” anything in my life, I always had something in place either a new job, school, etc. there was a plan. So to me quitting = failure which was not the case. As one of my dear friends said “look up the definition of to quit.” So I did here are some of the definitions: to stop, to depart from, to cease from doing something… So my decision to quit was to depart from something that made me unhappy. So when the “fork in the road” appeared I decided to take the uncharted path and its been almost a month since I left my job and I am happy but stressed. I knew that I would be stressed and I also knew that I would have to work hard. So right now I am going through a roller coaster of emotions and trying to find my path again and use my passion and push me forward. I know this journey will not be easy (I am going through hell right now) but I am ready for it just like every endurance race I have prepared for or the torture I have put my body through to finish a race I am ready to apply that to my website. I have a clear objective in mind which is to write/blog/research about the things that matter to me in the world of sports for development and in relationship to marginalized populations and get my voice heard. So here it goes…
