We all live in fast pace, information is everywhere, expectations are very different than 10 or 20 years ago. We all know. Right? I also like to reflect, think deep about what I would like to learn, achieve, build in my life. It is very important part of my way how to live. Every birthday I think for a moment, if I really live the life I wanted or want now (might have changed or adapted as I go, of course). How much did I do for my growth, my hobbies, my ability to learn new skills or train my brain. Research, reading books, talking to interesting people, webinars or any educational subscription, sign me up. This side of me, desire to get, work with information never changed. What has changed on my side, is to get more mature in approach and understand, that any fight I consider to fight, shall have a good reason and cost needs to be always weighted. That applies to personal life, but also to work one. I had many experiences with optimal or not optimal situations at work. Leadership decisions, project, product or educational were taken and of course, not always all reflected what one wants/needs/considers the best course of action. Those could be the moments, when I would think, shall I fight for what I believe in, what is needed, am I being right in seeing the situation correctly and might have failed not expressing myself well enough to the others? That is the hardest part, where I had to keep reflecting in shorter period of time and see critically, if really my part of motivation is based on solid grounds. I would not want to push for other course of action and in the end be wrong. In such cases, I like to research even more, talking to people, understand in broader perspective. Only then, I would think to take a stand and choose if the fight really serves the purpose, has a good impact and meets the initial target. On the other hand, I see as well, that my decisions could result in my health and its response to them. Seeing what stress could do, I wouldn´t ever compromise this anymore. If I shall decide for less comfortable option, however knowing, that I have just chose mental and physical balance over exact opposite of it, that is the way I would go for. I am always very grateful, that we live in time, where I can afford to do so.
