I've been on a long break from this blog. An idea hit my mind and
all of sudden I ran into unexpected things: I ended up moving to Canada and one
of my dream living abroad came true out of the blue - all executed within 3
months only.
I took one year leave from my current work
place, gave up my apartment in Copenhagen, packed my bags and landed in Pearson
International Airport mid February 2013.
Luckily for me I was accepted by my
relatives to stay with them, otherwise I may be short of money by this time as
I had no luck finding an engineering job in Toronto yet. And I do not really
want to move to another province 4000 km away - Alberta. And start all over
again making new friends in a new environment.
I don't know where the past five and a
half months disappeared, but time flies really fast these days. Really a sad
fact, indeed! I've this feeling of catching up a lot but do only have time for
few things at a time. Maybe I should be relaxed and just be happy for the fact
that I'm actually getting the few things done at least :)
Apart from the job hunting, I have been
putting myself into meeting new and wonderful people, and also have been
putting some hours into the volunteering area. To be honest I'm not a volunteer
person but this role really appealed to me in some ways. Being with a person
who knows, he/she is going to die within 3-4 months put your whole life into a
new perspective. Being with these people really makes you think of your company
of friends, family and acquaintances, who has surrounded you almost throughout
your whole life.
There comes a time where you want to move
away from some and get closer to some - simply because you start to realize
what life is all about. You definitely want to have those cheerful, highly
motivated and caring individuals closer to you, and let those not quite
positive and less caring people be a distant memory. How long time can you be
kind enough accepting those people being a part of your life? Easy to say but
hard to follow up on. There comes times where you have to stand tall and tell
people, they are not right, or their behavior or how they treat others are not
nice, but would you be able to tell that to their face? Now you know some are
not right, can you do the right follow-up on your thought? Or would you be able
to stop yourself from participating in or reacting to those people's talk.
Tricky! But it is worth pondering for a while. Being kind is so easy but being
kind to those non-kind people put you through a fire. I've just begun taking
the very first baby steps into this - a whole mountain needs to be climbed, and
I'm still deep down along the valley wandering and wondering how to get myself
up to the top.
I don't know when the next post would be
here as job hunting and meetings with wonderful people is my new full time job
lately. Hopefully I would be organised to manage my time properly and post few
thoughts once in a while. Because this is really an interesting topic and I
want to keep track of my thoughts on this through this blog. (For once I'm saying
I don't know when the next post would be here lol)
So today's thought is:
"Always pray to have eyes that see the best in
people,
a heart that forgives the worst,
a mind that forget the bad,
and a soul that never loses faith in God"
I came across this quote a day ago or so
on one of those pages I have liked on Facebook. And Google didn't give me any
answer to who the author for this quote is. If anybody knows, please let me
know.
Have a good night! :)
