“Homesickness is the distress or impairment caused by an actual or anticipated separation from the specific home environment or attachment objects.”
Nowadays, there is a very common word in professional language – flexibility. Flexibility means that you are a professional that accepts other challenges, is willingful to developing other skills, volunteers to learn, to help other colleagues, it’s interested in growing. Flexibility also means several times, working regardless the time spent at work, the challenges you are given to face, your personal characteristics. Flexibility means in several occasions to accept changes and cope with them. Flexibility means reacting and assuring your position… again, means to cope.
This also means greatness. It means that sometimes you’re pushed to the limits. You get in touch with your limits. You learn how to cope with those limits, with difficulties that come along. Flexibility means you also grow up as a person.
For me, flexibility also means, besides all those great skills I’ve meant before, being away from home. It is inherent to my job. It’s also inherent to learn different subjects and being able to teach them to others. And besides being at this point, comfortable with that situation, sometimes… it gets more difficult than others. Sometimes you just miss your home… your routines.
And when you’re away from home, you get to think about your life… your path… what is really important for you. And this is also a major subject.
{what is really important for your life?}
1. to be creative
2. to be free
3. to be next to home
4. to appreciate the simple things in life, once forgotten… like nature
Take the time to think.
