January was both an equally stressful and emotional month that has changed the direction of my life forever.

Lets roll back a few months…

My partner made a decision to leave the current industry he works in and move into another. A wonderful opportunity for an exciting new career and a move over 1300 kms from our home in Brisbane, Queensland to Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.

ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHING WAS CHANGING.

That being… leaving many friends behind and resigning after 2 and a half years in my current employment to face utter uncertainty. My head was spinning. How do I react? At first I was horrified. I felt, what if my life changes for the worse? What if I’m not happy? What if I feel stuck? What if.. what if!!!! I loved everything about living in Brisbane…

The friends, the weather, the food, the lifestyle and the memories… the list goes on! I always liked the idea of living in different places of the world but never expected such a rapid change to happen ever so quickly.  They say change is as good as a holiday… right?

We weren’t going to make the decision until I was happy to accept the change. Let me just say… My thoughts were very active! My approach to life is to see the positive in each area of my life, and this would be no exception.

For me, the following were the deciding factors:

• Change is all about growth and making the most of my life experience.
• My hobbies and interests can be pursued from anywhere in the world.
• I am open to the opportunity to travel more, including to visit family and friends on a more regular basis.
• Happiness comes from within.
• I won’t know until I try.
• I enjoy new challenges and opportunities.

So I finally agreed to make the move. Although I’ve had periods of feeling doubtful about the decision, I’m proud that I’d adapting to a major change in my life and YES I’m really excited to see what the next chapter will look like.

While I continue my quest to find out what makes video marketing so very successful, and what steps in particular need to be followed, I’m also looking for a new and exciting opportunity for employment.

So as I wrap up this post, my mood is varied. Yes I do feel home sick – I’m even going to admit I tuned into local radio stations online to get my Brisbane fix! Meanwhile, my passion for life and keenness to take on new challenges and opportunities are as strong as ever!

Until next time

P.S. Sorry for the lack of a blog post for a while. I’ve been without decent access to the Internet for a while now, it’s like having to give up coffee!! (Don’t ever try).

How have you coped with huge changes in your life? How are things now? Comments are always welcome.
