Rediscovering

I am still surprised by the time that passes so fast. It’s May already. Studying time is coming to an end. I have so many projects to do and so little time. I try to enjoy every second and don’t let myself frustrated by the lack of time, but enjoy what life gives me, enjoy great moments with people around me. On the 1st of May I went out with my friends from NG, it was such a beautiful day. Everyone was saying before “It will rain”, well someone up there loves us and gave us a really sunny and warm day. We were all surprised how warm and beautiful it was, what a great time we had admiring the nature, enjoying the fresh air and just relaxing, playing volleyball and talking.

Great time continued, on the 3rd I attended the weeding of two friends, Cristina and Ionel. I think it was the greatest weeding I have ever been to, different than others, really beautiful and fun. I still can not believe they got married. It was like yesterday when I attended their engagement party. Again time passes so fast. I am really happy for them and I wish them all the happiness that can be in this world because they really deserve it, they are great people. One more plus to their weeding was seeing some old friend, a friend from US came, Sarah which I haven't seen or spoke with since 2004. I never thought I will ever see her again but one can never know. The world is small.

I discovered there are also great persons at my working place. Our CEO decided he wants to know us better so he organizes meetings with the departments and the branches. On the 4th it was HRs turn together with the guys form IT and the internal auditor. After a meeting in the conference room where we shared our experience (realizing we have a lot of things in common – one being the fact that most of us studied something else than what we like or than what we do now) we went to dinner. We had so much fun, we laugh a lot, talking about different topics – not work related. I never knew how much fun I can have with my colleagues. Hope there will be some more meeting of this kind.

Relaxing is nice but you can not do that every day, you also need to work. I was really tired lately and I realized why, is not because of my schedule, of the work in general, is because of lack of passion. I started analyzing which are the things that motivate me, where is my passion in what I do. If I have no passion than the work won’t reach the expected results and I will be frustrated. Rediscovering passion at work of in doing projects for the university is taking some time, but I try to compensate that with doing things that I like, that give me energy, like driving my car, talking to people, delivering a training on HR, getting involved in a project at work – not HR related, attending some interesting meetings at work and at NG, reading.

If there is passion then there are results. I am trying to rediscover my passion daily because I want results in all the areas of my life.
