Today was the last day in my current job. It was my choice to leave and several factors led to my resignation five weeks ago. I know I am lucky, I have the support of my family, though I am not sure they understand my decision totally. I have been told not to be a stranger to the work colleagues I leave behind. I believe it to be a genuine request.
What had changed? Me. My expectations. My aspirations. I was flattered to have been offered the job. I was returning to a company I had worked for before. I already knew most of the people I would work with.
So what’s next?
I shall take time to reflect.
I shall catch up with those I have neglected over recent months.
I shall craft.
I shall keep my eyes open for opportunities.
Perhaps those little ideas that spin round inside my head may even come to fruition, be it money-making or otherwise!
I have resigned from so many jobs in my life, but it never is an easy decision. But all I know is that to resign when so many work colleagues suffer jobs they hate for years, it was the right decision. It always is as it gives you breathing space and time to make changes. I never regretted any resignations, they always led to something better and I do believe you should never go back to an old job. Move forward and use this chance to make some big changes. Good luck.
