It Is Hard To Say Goodbye

You probably went through this before. You have created deep relationships with people in your life but suddenly you had to leave them and move on. This is part of life but it is heartbreaking.

I had so many friends at school that I miss so much. I have worked in many different fields at many different places in the world. During all those years, I made friends and many of them.

The question is how do you grow if you don’t leave your comfort zone? The kid stays in the family but at a certain age and time, she/he leaves for something new. Today, I left my company and the corporate world for good. I am already missing my friends.

This decision involves many risks but as we have explained before, risks are everywhere. Even if you decide to do nothing, stay in one environment, the roof of the house may fall on you.

The last company I worked for for almost 12 years gave me many skills that I did not want to forfeit but at the same time, I felt like I was trapped in a vicious circle. My bills kept piling up even though I was working hard. My health was slowly but surely getting worse.

I had no time for myself and no time for my family. My health kept deteriorating instead of improving. However, my results at work were speaking for themselves. I was able to hire , train and create very successful leaders in the company.

My team was twice recognized as the one of best team in the company. I was rated superior for so many years and when my boss rated me distinguished, I felt so bad. I wanted to serve with my heart and my soul, with everything I got.

Did I stop people complaints? No. As you may know, the greatest indicator of failure is trying to please everybody. I knew what was right for the customer, the employee and the company. My field of operation was what the three had in common.

After more than 30 years working for the corporate word and twelve years of service with my recent employer, it is now time for me to think about what happened to my childhood dreams.

I wanted to reach the stars. I wanted to travel the world, which I did a little bit, but not just travel. I wanted to have time to make a difference in the lives of people without having to worry about my health and my bills. I wanted personal and financial Freedom. I cherished living my life on my own terms.

Did you realize that when you do something you really love, something you could call a hobby, your health improves? Did you notice that a positive word, whether greeting, recognition or apology carries with it a healing power? Did you realize that any illness you may think of  has its roots in our mind and in our attitude?

I will not pretend that I can solve the problems of the world but I can give my contribution while I am still able. My most precious gift wouldn’t be money or food or clothes. I tried those and lamentably failed.

My best gift is and will always be working with you to help you discover your potential. You have all you need to succeed within you. Forget about the negative influence of the people who may suggest that you are unable make your dreams a reality. I will help you meet the Ultimate You. Let’s make this journey together.

Until next time, Bye now.
