The “KINK” in your CAREER
I have been meaning to write on this topic for a while, because I thought this is one of the scariest step for a professional, STARTING OVER. We sometimes would want to scream from a roof top how challenging, frustrating and time consuming this can be. Yes, its like walking back to step 0, its like going to the ground floor to travel back to the floor you have been, it might seem so stupid why it happened to you. You might feel so small or insignificant. But is it so bad, if you get a chance to pull yourself out of your years long routine to finally being able to think and decide something new, new kink to life? a new excitement? a new journey?

Yes, its a hard process, but the choice is yours completely. As we all are familiar with the quote " You do you"; when you start over ; the decision making completely lies in your hands. You believe you see a future in something and you start working for it like it is just your day 1. When we call it re-building it might sound and feel exhausting, but if we call it a journey to find your new kink in-terms of career, its gonna sound more passionate and exciting. Finding what excites you in career also, can be called as a kink, what makes you wanna do it over and over again without pausing and thinking over. What makes you regain your passion for your profession? Kink is not a shallow word, its deep rooted. You will only grow, when you feel the need to grow. you will only try when you feel the need to try. Passion is for the long run! So starting over is not bad afterall, its just finding your kink, whatever works for you !
