A New Journey

🎯 Paulo Coelho wrote, “When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it.”

This has been my anchor these past few months. Since January 2025, a restless desire to reshape my life has grown louder.

I gave myself until April, when my bonus arrived, to decide what’s next. I researched, spoke to professionals, and wrestled with uncertainty—still, no clear path emerged. Then, like a quiet gift, clarity began to unfold.

First, I realised I want a career I’m passionate about, but I lack the skills to switch industries. So, I’m committing to upskilling, exploring courses to broaden my horizons and build new connections.

The SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme, launched in April, feels like a sign—offering training with an allowance to support this leap.

Financially, I’ve crunched the numbers; my savings can sustain me for a few years, even if I take a lower-paying job by 2026. For now, part-time work could bridge the gap.

Most importantly, I’m learning to trust this journey, to act quickly and stop wasting time in a high-stress job that adds no value to my growth.

I’m very excited for my new journey!
