Thankful

Steve Jobs once said, “have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.”

For the entirety of my final year in university, I had this quote pinned to my computer screen. I was so lost, and it was not just because I was going through a terrible job search in an equally terrible economy. I just could not see alignment in my reality and where I wanted to be. My dream – what I had worked for – was drifting further and further away and I no longer knew how to get there.

By May I was done being depressed. In June I took a leap of faith. By October I had returned to Singapore against all odds, and now, in November, I find myself with a job and a life that makes me happy, and as if driven by fate, my career is heading towards the end point I had wanted all along.

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to give thanks for all that has turned out right this year. It was not easy, but I am now a firm believer in the fact that life will take you to exactly you want to be.

In the end, through it all, I am thankful. I’m waiting for 22, with so much hope.
