Inspired. Grateful.

On the way home right now feeling extremely grateful and inspired after a talk by our female leaderships. . . I am really growing to love where I am now for the people-culture we have. The effort people put in to organise, talk and even participate is amazing. 

I've been greatly inspired by the stories from our female leaders; how they managed to go to where they are now and briefly about how they overcame the challenges they faced along the way. Though a lot of things are easier said than done, knowing there are people who have made it gives you this confidence that you can too. 

Realise I have too many limiting beliefs, which are actually not unique fears at all. There are colleagues who feel the same. Stay true to yourself, be authentic… People will remember how you made them feel. Be and do the best of yourself. Quotes you see online ever so often.. but so motivational. 

Also, realise I've been lending my ears to friends for their woes that I am feeling a little deflated. This talk has come at a really good time. 

Midway through the talk, I realise…….. The support system I have at work is indeed strong. I won't have attended the talk without a “jio” from my friends. And these friends have become my motivation to work and strive for the better. Thankful for the people I have been blessed with in life. The truly good people I have.
