A hard decision to quit.

I remembered when I quit GMG. It was one of the hardest and best decisions in my life, to date. BUT don’t get me wrong-- IT WASN’T AN EASY DECISION TO QUIT, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.I’m not the type that would find quitting, an easy decision or even a preferred choice. Moreover, I did in fact enjoy the people as much as being part of that organization.

For the record, I loved every moment, every project, and every task given to me in GMG.I learned a lot there and made a lot of friends.Thus, the decision to quit was purely a question of priority and integrity. I can’t serve two masters at the same—I would like to think that I am a good multi-tasker but then, things come with consequences. If I was able to balance acads and gmg it could have come at the cost of my friends or family… anyways I can’t ponder on the thing that could have been, at least I’m already happy to the things that are.

I joined out of interest and I left out of priorities; knowing that I can’t be in all places at the same time and that I can’t have “wings and roots” at the same time. I have absolutely nothing against the people and the organization.

That’s why it was a hard decision, because not only did I love the people but I also loved my job and the organization itself. But why did I say that it was the BEST decision I made? It is because IT WAS THE HARDEST I’VE EVER MADE and I made it. It’s not easy to quit, even though some people think it is, but at that time I had to. I had different things that I wanted, and it would have been inconsiderate of me to stay in an organization and be a burden to them. I’m happy about that decision, at least I left GMG with good feelings—and I can say, that it ended good. It wont always make you less of a person if you know how to QUIT... It's just like the decisions to say no and no more... i was humbled when i quit, it was the moment that my self and I realized that i'm not a superwoman, i can't always rule my world and still have time for other stuff.

*** the deal with time is that, it comes at a price of other things. Choices and options are words that were coined to mean that choosing means putting one after the other.

Anyways, the lesson in this story is that—we can’t have everything because all things come at a cost of other things. We can only allot so much time—it is always a question of priority and better judgment.

I left gmg, because I didn’t want to be a pain and burden to that organization, my family, friends and myself. I realized at that moment that I had choice to have a little of everything or have a lot of only a few things.

Being too hectic, costs me rest, time with my friends, family and myself—although it is a challenge, it’s not always the better decision to do everything and live life in the fast lane, because when your in a rush in everything—you lose the feeling of the moments that pass... regret comes when you think now, that you could have spent a second more somewhere else.

i never did regret my decision to quit-- some opportunities came to me after i did. I also never did regret joining and spending time there.

Time doesn’t always have to be managed—sometimes they also have to be cherished. When we think we're on top of things, that's usually the time we fall the hardest.

But anyways, these are just reflections... i could be wrong.
