Decisions are Tough

A little over 2 months ago, I was referred by a client to a friend for "business"- respectable business mind you. It seemed like I could actually learn from my mentor (what that friend called herself). She was that good. Things got in the way, like accreditation of certain hospitals..tsktsk and the responsibilities piled on me, whew! They were hard to bear because I kept pushing for perfection (to no avail, I learned) so I decided to halt our connection or association thinking that it was just for a time but until now, I still haven't contacted her back..(shame).. So I decided to make a stand- against warring thoughts- that instead of picking up where we left before the accreditation, I will have to make my career outside the country bloom.
Move forward!
In case you're wondering about my mentor, she's what we call here part of a pyramid.. (scam? I dunno..) It would have allowed me, after a good number of years, to actually earn enough money without going outside the country for work because it will be able to sustain me and my family already. So I erased second thoughts about my decision and decided to learn to keep my enthusiasm for work here until such time that I'm ready to go hunting (outside the country work, eheh).
It's not like I don't like to go exploring or travelling.. I like them but the chances of having great adventures while you're working full time with different time frames is almost nil. Uhuh, my life's that boring...but some of the times me and my friends did manage to travel, I enjoyed it. Who doesn't love a good vacation, eh?
So that's my silver lining right there.
My mentor (redundaaaaant) actually had one homework for me to do before our fated separation.. To list 100 things you would like to do in your lifetime in a small notebook. I just remembered it and decided to give it a try. If you can't do all of them, at least you've done some. Life prioritizing.
So yeah. Here I am thinking hard on what to write and put in my notebook.
Who else is practicing this? I know only one person aside from my mentor who's writing a small bucketlist of her life. That's what it is right? A bucketlist.


 Fave happy colors to inspire me. (^o^)
