My Violins - Spot the "renegade"!
“She doesn’t know what she wants in life.” I’ve heard this
so many times. I would simply brush it aside, keep my focus and move
towards my mountain—even if it has to take me 10 years to do so.
My past blog entries were simply about myself. I've found it to be pretty
self-indulgent. I had friends who told me that it was good to share my past experiences--for people to understand that sporting life journeys to the top of the field is not an easy one. However, I felt uncomfortable with the
me-emphasis and was limited by what I could write about. I had to change my topic.
Recently, I’ve made the huge leap to hang up my corporate
attire to freelance. I want to write more, and do what I’ve always loved,
music. I’ve received mixed responses of my decision. They ranged from positive
support to negative “put-me-down” comments. Through our lives, we learn to seek
for and learn from the constructive criticisms. Ultimately, we lead our own
lives—we absorb what is relevant, make a choice and make it good.
My immediate goal is to provide myself some financial
security. It’s a blessing to be able to marry both passion and work. Today, I
posted an advertisement in The Sunday Times Classified—violin lessons for
adults. I will have my first student this coming week.
To create the relevance and maintain the continuity in what
I’m going to do, it would be appropriate for me to blog about music. Sport has
been a part of my life since childhood, and it will remain so. Once in
awhile, I will sneak in some sporting stories.
In whatever we strive to accomplish, we need to take that first step
out of our familiar grounds, and opportunities would appear in more ways than
one.
I've just taken my first step.
