Once upon a time, I was this girl, full of aspirations and zeal. Taking Law is never my intend altogether, my interest - War Journalism. But all the same I went ahead, since my Dad was not keen on me doing that because it's too much of risk. Now, I am totally "lost". Getting out of my job proves to be too difficult, as I have discussed with people around me. Staying put will temporary be my only option. But I am undaunted. I won't put myself down because of my job. I may have lost my perspective then. But now it's my turn to move on. I will definitely put my best strike for my job, duty of care, that is. But I will start looking for my "paradise" too.
Looking back, I realised how easy for me to lose my perspective when we are under stress and duress. Just when we most need support & help, we often decide to focus doggedly on the task at hand. We look neither left or right. We take on the characteristics of a tyrant, expecting everything in our evironment to modify itself around what we are doing. Probably we became more complacent than needed. Suddenly, we and our work become the center of the Universe and we are often truly surprised when others don't see "reality" the same way we do.
Just when we need other input the most, we isolate, pull into ourselves and develop a laser like focuson what has to be done. This is when we need to stop, call friends together and get a reality check. For me, I do more than that. I will get myself a distraction as well. Such are great for getting back perspectives.

"There is no work in the world so toilsome as that of pursuing fame & power; life is over before the main part of your work has begun. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life or more important in the life of another "
