Hard Facts of Life.

I am contented with my current life despite having a huge tradeoff between salary and happiness. When the decision was made 4 months ago, i knew i will never look back. I found back a sense of happiness i have never felt in audit as there are too many emotional factors. Now, i am happy everyday, learning from a different angle.

Definitely, there are many times i had been upset, learning that this hard fact affected everything, even marriage. I took a count on the sums required, it's a scary amount to even think of- wedding dinner, renovation and house can practically soak up everything including my near future income. The thought was very scary and very intimidating.

There was a day i allowed myself to sink in a little to the unhappiness of this hard fact of life, so i took the train down to find him. He is often my solace, as being with him, i realize the other little things that matter more to me than that. He showed me passion for work and he showed me warmth. yes, my motto of simplicity never goes away, i do not need much luxuries in life, neither do i need much pampering, all i need is this sense of happiness that is not measurable. i believe that being happy with what you are doing is the key to success. All of us will succeed in different ways in our pursuit of career but only we can judge ourselves based on our measurement of success.

:) on a side note, my love for trekking stays on. I love the view from Panorama hill, beautiful for a hill.
