Change

Hello..

I guess I literally write on my blog once or twice a year. HAHAHA.. I want to say I use to not have a computer or sometimes I just don't have time... but I know all that is just reasons and procrastination. 

Well today I am going to talk about change. In 2017 I have had a few changes, that is worth mentioning. The first is me and my other partners decided to close Pies and Bakes for good. Now this happened quite sudden and in a blink of an eye but nevertheless it was a difficult decision to make. I have worked with Pies and Bakes almost 7-8 years and when the day we stopped production I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. 

The second change is two of my closest colleagues from work left the company for a better opportunity leaving me more or less alone. (Not to mention with a ton more workload). Having both of my workmates leaving at the same time was a bit difficult for me because we worked marvellously together. Whenever there is a project to be managed I would only work with them and no one else. 

The third change which happened this year, 2018. Is that I quit my job. 

Now, everyone has their own definition of change, whether it's good or bad or nothing significant. But for me the above changes that happened to me was both good and bad. I wanted to feel sad and upset and grumble, because I like how things are now. I don't like change because change means scary and uncomfortable. During the whole time of me being moody and difficult I forgot that change is what you make of it. 

I forgot change may look difficult now but it may derive to something better. 

I took a moment, I took things one day at a time, putting one foot in front of the other and tried my best to make that day amazing for me. 

Closing down Pies And Bakes was a heartbreak. But the lessons I learnt along the way was priceless. No business book in the world could have thought me what I learnt during those years working as a Business Development for Pies and Bakes. And having extra time on my hand, I got to spend it with Mr. I got to take holidays, short road trip and even pick up a new hobby. 

When my two colleagues left for a better opportunity, I got to really show off my managing skill to my boss, and he realising that I am good at my job. Moreover I made new friends, which opened a different perspective in things and we clicked too. I also learned not to rely on my former colleagues, which means I learnt a lot more things and took up more challenges which I honestly think developed me more and more everyday. 

And for me quitting my job, well it's not in vain. I quit my job to head to a new job. Hopefully a better opportunity, a better position. A bigger company where I can learn or relearn more skill and to better myself with the opportunities provided to hopefully prepare me for a better tomorrow. 

I sound like an advertisement don't I? But I honestly feel that. I was...AM nervous about going to work in a new environment with large scale expectations and ways, but nevertheless excited. Because I am giving my self the opportunity to grow. Any life experience is valuable and if you try to get it of a book, it may still not be the same. 

Growing, I think is so important for an individual. Because the world is always changing always adapting, we need to grow to settle in the world full of things you cannot even understand. And without Change there will be no Growth. 

So to those who is going through changes, be brave and take a deep breath. Have faith and put one foot in front of the other. You will realise change as it feels bad is sometimes a good thing.
