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!
