Finale with no regrets

As the timeout wonder getting finalised, I am also starting to prepare for an emotional closure with the current chapter.

I have invested a lot of passion, time and heart with this job and with the team. I anticipate I would be an emotional wreck like breaking up a relationship. I will miss this team and the comradeship we have worked hard to build in the past 5 years, though something happened last Wednesday, and it had given me the cue: I am ready to move on.

I had to give an inspirational speech that morning to a large group of professionals. I have drafted the slides myself and I would usually spend time to prepare, in my head, a script in bullet point format, for a smooth delivery. This time, I didn't have the time, but spent 3 minutes just before the session to arrange my thoughts.

I performed the 30 minute session smoothly delivering all the messages I wanted to deliver. It felt like a graduation showcase: I had invested everything in this role, in return, I realised I have also gained some life-long skills. Often had to think on my feet, I am able to now instantly articulate and joint topics into speeches that would resonate to the audience. Something I have cultivated with the numerous practices I had with this job. What can be learnt had been learnt. What can be given had been delivered. What can be built is hopefully here to stay. 無悔地劃上完了美的句號。

Always love seeing how the Universe has its forces work: that same afternoon, I had a scheduled follow up chat on the new role that I told a few people about. All of them have remembered and sent blessings and encouragement to my big move.

In particular, I received these pictures from a senior figure in my new found circle of trust. This circle has been tagging back to sail back on track when I am heading to the bank. I feel incredibly lucky to have people around me who would give me their love and guidance especially during my own transformational journey, my Midlife Wondering...

I feel passionate about learning more on the topic of my new role. I feel content with what I have. I feel strong to take charge of the new found pace of living.
