The past 1.5 years have been quite tough for me, but interestingly, it forced me to do more self reflections. It helped me understand myself better and accept why I am the way I am (this sounds so philosophical… 😂).
I think I just went through (or maybe I still am? 🤔) a quarter life crisis. Something I didn’t think I would have one, considering how good things were the past 5-6 years 😂
As much as people might think I am a confident person naturally, my reflections boost my confidence to say “yes, this is how I think and do things, yes, I know the pros and cons, and yes, I know when to show the different sides of me to different people at different situations”.
I believe I learnt how to take things less personally. Nowadays, I don’t mind saying “it’s okay if you don’t like how I do things or how I think” to others in a non-personal way (although the receivers might take it personally 🤪), especially at work. I still listen to opinions and suggestions, I try to see through the actual meaning behind their statements, removing the personal aspect of their statements, and build my own understanding/summary (instead of just taking in whatever people say at the face values).
Anyway, I am going to share a few key learning points I learnt throughout the past 1.5 years. Hopefully they are relevant and can be helpful to you!
Enjoy the ride!
