Quarter-life Crisis?!?

@ the age of 25 today, I finally agree with the concept of 'Quarter-life Crisis'

What has this last year brought on the table for me? What have been the highs and lows of this past year?

To begin, lets have a brief review..

I came back from Australia for good.. leaving a well paying and fantastic job, was unwell for most of the year with the same old digestion issues which have been nagging me for 2-plus years now, did not have a job for almost 5 months, quit my first job in 5 months because that is not the sort of organisation I wanted to make my career with, got offered a brilliant opportunity with a big company and then realized that they offered me a ridiculous profile for a good pay and hence am jobless once again, the same year in which my beautiful and most amazing relation came to an end and since, I have had the worst 4 months of my life!

WOW! This can be called a 'crisis' I guess!!

But well, lets review from a different angle,

I came back from Australia to be with family and be around my mom who was not keeping too well, I returned to spend more time with my closest friends who I dearly missed while I was in Australia, I created a brilliant business plan while I didn't have a job and which I will execute in the coming months, I quit my first job because the company was unethical, political and ridiculous to their employees, I missed out on my dream job because of a wrong profile but then am proud that I wasn't greedy for the money and believed in myself getting another shot in my field of interest, I met a beautiful person in this year who has been my pillar of support these last few months and I wish to reciprocate for ever, I did lose a person who I believe was sent to me by God but then maybe I had to lose her to realize that I cannot take what I have for granted always and learnt my lesson, two of my best friends got married, I got my new car, etc, etc!

There is the answer to the questions in my mind. If we have an issue or a situation where we feel everything is going wrong, we have two ways of looking at it. I, for example, have been seeing things from the negative angle and have been down and out for most of the year thinking the same old stupid thought, 'WHY ME?'

A simple truth which is right in front of us.. I went through a lot this last year right, but then scroll up and see which paragraph is bigger and has more points to review.
We all have lows, we all have hit ground zero, we all have cried and been hurt and gone through rough patches. This is where we have to come back and tell everyone around us not to give up on us or count us out. This is where we have to prove to ourselves that we are not those who give up or give in to rough times. We are ones who fight back from them and achieve all that we ever wanted, Joy, happiness, friendships, relationships, wealth, everything!

So lets offer a 'CHEERS' to the year that has passed and lets look forward to a much better, and like a good friend says all the time, 'SUPAAA ROCKING' year ahead!

Until next time..
