Farewell - a new Beginning

The word "Fare Well”, I believe means another opportunity awaits you, its time to leave and fare well in new one.

There comes a time in our lives when we have to bid farewell. Most of find us do find it emotionally painful. Especially when it has been a great journey like - doing the work that we enjoyed the most, taking up challenges that made us realize our strength or being with some of the best people around us, sharing, inspiring, motivating and bringing some meaning to our lives etc.

Lucky are those who have sense of detachment in work, hence they do not experience much pain while moving on. Blessed are those who feel the pain, for this pain is the indicator of self involvement - our sincerity, hard work etc. More involved we are, more attached we become. More attachment more pain.Yet we need to move on and there is a long distance to be covered in short time. In this long journey, the pain should be a milestone, but not become a dead end.

Farewell does not just mean an end of a phase; it does also indicate a beginning of a new journey. Farewell- The word by itself says "Fare Well”, I believe means another opportunity awaits you, its time to leave and fare well in new one.

There lay an unexplored world awaiting you - great people to be met, challenges to be taken up, joys to be experienced and peaks to be scaled. Just keep moving on.Time is a great healer and it would heal this pain too.

In this fast dynamic world, the healing too is faster. We will be missed and we would be missing too. But looking back after few years these would have become sweet memories to be cherished. Also in this highly connected world, is staying in touch is as simple as click of mouse or mobile key pad. Even the connecting devices (mobiles & computers) are changing and moving on to next phase. Then why not us?

Just move on to a new beginning and Fare Well!!

Letting it go

Take up new opportunities and move forward and be happy or hold-on to the same old things and stay where you are and regret later

Often, there comes a time in our life where we need to let go off the things that we cherished the most. It could be leaving our friends to travel abroad, a new role in the job from existing one, leaving the team to join another team, leaving something that we had passionately created to taken care by someone else etc. Some of it would be so close to heart that we unknowingly become possessive about it especially when we had worked so hard to get it done. Its a very difficult situation to be in. But choice has to be made. Being the same place or doing the same work because of emotional attachment, is definitely not a good idea in the long run. It in-fact would create monotony and boredom and could be fatal in reaching our long term goal.

We live in a very dynamic world, where change is the only constant. If we dont change at the right time, then we would be forced to change at the wrong time. With every change, there's a whole set of new responsibilities, new challenges, new faces, new opportunities to be explored. Holding on to the old things because of emotional attachment, may definitely not be a good thing, as it would be difficult to concentrate on both the things at same time, ultimately screwing up both.

What we need to understand is that we might have been provided a new opportunity like - change in work, travel abroad for higher education, new assignment etc because of the good work we have done in the current level, and its only expected that we move to next level. We never know, such a move could be a catalystic change in reaching our ambition or long term goal.
You have done a good work, let it go when the right time comes to take up the next one.Who knows you could be the missing piece in the jig-saw puzzle?There are more opportunities around calling you.Take it up and move forward or hang on to old one and stay where you are and regret later.
