Howdy friends!
It's been a while since I've written anything. But as I have been relocated abroad for onsite work, all that I have in my mind now is "I miss India". So when I say India, of course I miss my country but for My family, my friends and those lovely time with them. Let me share some of the thoughts that I encountered while this journey of mine.
Living in a foreign country energizes the creative mind, touches off the brave soul, and motivates you to explore. Likewise can also scare your pants off. You need to figure out how to do numerous new things while unlearning old that have turned out to be natural.
Living far from your country can be a really interesting and unforgettable experience, and yet it has significant impacts on one's life.
The real impact, and furthermore an exceptionally basic one, is that once you begin an ordinary life far from home, you miss EVERYTHING.
The second big effect then comes is to learn new culture and accept another type of society.
Now this means you have to make new friends, have new point of views for everything, accept different opinions and values, and much more.
The most remarkable effect of living far from home is that makes you total independent. Living on your own away from your loved ones, gives you a lot of experiences toward sorting out your life.
We ought to become practical, like the 'Goodbyes get easier'. You learn accepting changes easily, at least 90% easier.
Then comes the emotional part, "
Home is where the heart is". You realize how you did not care much when they were just some distance away until you went this far where you need to plan well in advance to see them again.
Friendships strengthens, you will learn who goes out of the way to stay in touch and who rarely keeps in. Some people will distance themselves and other will get closer. It is the critical period when you learn who deserves to stay and who you should let go.
Despite the fact that your friends may envy you for your life abroad, they probably won't understand that the grass isn't constantly greener on the other side.
Above all when people say there are perks of staying abroad, yes there are but with equal hardships and challenges.
There’s practical advice on the first month, the first year and so on, even tried and tested tips to ensure a good return. Others have done terrific at it, why not benefit from their experiences to ensure the best outcome for your international assignment.
Of course this gives you some confidence and courage to take a step towards your dream and goal. You can always move forward with positive minds but being strong to be your one and only companion in the beginning of the journey.
There will be days when you'll break down, seek for shoulders but looking around you'll find none but yourself, that's how you get stronger and matured.
You tend to seek every answer, who you are, how you are, where in life you are, and your experience answers them all.
The key is to let yourself move through all of these emotions, good and bad. Let them come and go, just as they would if you were living at home. Take every challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Now you understand what it means to give up comfort, what every day feels like beginning from scratch and wondering at the globe. And it's such a tremendous, vast world ... How could you choose not to travel and discover it?
I have got my part of experience, although in a very short time.
I'll always suggest to go ahead and explore the beauty and keep growing and learning.. Wish you all the best!
