Self Discovery…

I started working full time after a break of about two years. I found myself work in the Technology industry, right where I belong. This new engagement has consumed my time and headspace more than I thought it would and always change has led to new self discoveries –

1. I get more done when I am busy.  You may think it’s not true, it’s definitely very counterintuitive but IT IS SO TRUE for me. As work ramped up, I realized I could get more done now than what I used to get done being an unemployed homemaker.
2. I am an Ambivert. I always thought of myself as an extrovert but ‘shy at first’ person but I realized at work that I chose to be introvert with some people and extrovert with others and that has nothing to do with how comfortable I feel around them or how much I like them.
3. I am great at my Job. I only came to be a software engineer by the process of elimination. So I never considered myself good at my job – I think we as women, very easily judge ourselves harshly. At my new workplace, I saw myself handle all issues like a PRO in a very short time and took on things head first fearlessly.

Not only that, I now have new ambitions, new aspirations, new hopes… Its amazing how one good thing has a snowball effect in our life!
