Why it's important to stop living in the past when we've got a new job


Practically, most of us work to earn a living, or to do something that's meaningful and productive. However, as we continue to do this during the span of our lives, we move from one job to another, especially when there are better opportunities. And we see ourselves entangled by memories of our past jobs. And moving past from our former jobs is easier said than done - because we've made great friends, we're being sentimental, we found a bit of ourselves in our former jobs, have been paid better in some instances, or simply, our former jobs are better than what we're doing now. We can always reminisce, and it has its own value if the timing calls for it. But we can't always go looking back to our former jobs, whenever we're doing something new now. It's always best to face with our best selves before what we're doing now. Or else, we'll be caught up by the entangling webs of the past. They're designed to be there, just to be "sort of reminders." Yes, just convenient reminders. I've dwelt more extensively on this topic in this article I wrote: The importance of moving past a former job Please feel free to read and share with your network. You may also write back, if you're up to it. Thank you!

The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
