Peace in My Heart

It has been 18 days since I resumed my new job and it has completely reshaped my trajectory for the year 2026. Going into December (pre job offer) I had a lot riding on the offer as it was really difficult to picture a change in fortunes at my previous job. If anything, 2026 was shaping out to be my most challenging year yet.

Since resumption though, my current mental state has been one of deep gratitude and a desire to develop myself this year. It may very well still turn out to be a challenging year, but of a different nature. From a time draining and soul sucking job role to one I can actually apply my skills and develop myself further. What's more, the environment so far looks very healthy which is one priority for me with future job roles I may be taking on.

Recently I started also experiencing gratitude for my previous company and how much my time there really did shape me into a better professional. I can proudly say I gave it my all while I was there, which is why I was able to gain so much experience in a relatively short amount of time (less than 2 years) by professional standards. I don't believe I would be in my current position had I not also passed through the best and worst of times there.

It's funny how fast things can turn with the slightest of modifications. What may seem like a modest change to an outsider has had a major and instant effect in my posotioning for the future.
