Changing my path in life
A life-changing or defining moment
In life, change in inevitable and everyone is expected to embrace change even if it is associated with ups and downs. A life changing moment in my life was a path which directed me toward finding success. I remember one day when I was at my workplace relaxing after being exhausted. This is the day when my life changed since at that particular time I was thinking about my future and I could ask myself questions like “Is this really what I want to do with the rest of my life“. The idea of building a future and changing my life disturbed me for a couple of weeks. The thing that was clinging in my mind was that change is inevitable and in order to move on, I had to take a step and make change in life. As I was thinking about my future, I asked myself “how will life be 30 years from now if I continue doing a job which I do not have passion? ‘I am sure I will regret for spending all my time on something that I did not really enjoy’. Again, I believed that life should not be boring and since a human being must work to sustain life, this was the high time to move on and start something where I could work with passion.
I had different options and I mainly focused on ‘what do I want to do to succeed in life?’. Though deciding what to do was an insurmountable task, I finally made a wise decision. After work, I went home sat down at my computer like I so often did. Then it hit me; I like computers, they intrigue me especially cyber security. Why don’t I just go work with computers? Well, I would need some form of education for that. I started to look for schools with some interesting computer degrees and skills I wanted to add in that matter. I found what I wanted to learn, but I doubted myself if I would be able to do that. Since I had made life changing decisions, I overcame doubt by having confidence and seeing life in a positive way.
The next day I went to work and in the evening I went back home after a very long and tiring day. At this time I had a constructive thought which could lead to positive outcomes. I sat down in front of my computer and decided that this was the day that I would start working on my application for that school. That day is the day that everything changed for me. I can say that this was a life changing moment in that I had struggled with life and I was about to lose hope. Amazingly, the idea of finding a career associated with passion and motivation was a path toward success. Now I am in a position of setting achievable goals and working hard to achieve them.
