How important is Freedom to you?
There is one value which I am guided deeply by and that is freedom. It is like an internal mental muscle which when exercised regularly will feel strong allowing the mind to make bold decisions. On the other hand when weak it leads to having narrow minded thoughts, scarcity mindset and often the wrong attitudes towards one situation.
Freedom from your deepest bounding chains does have its consequences, meaning often letting go things you took for granted and taking on a path where you value freedom over the other stuff. If there was one line to truly sum up the current state of my internal mindset, it would be -
I'm not a rational calculator of self-interest but a being who will act against my own interests simply to prove I'm free
I left my job recently, I also let go of the H1B visa I had and closed the chapter of my life in the United States. There are conditions which individuals are required to obey, transfer between employers and international travel being couple of them. I was bothered about these for a time now, however the solution was clear to me, to forge a path without reliance on the H1B but in and environment and value system which would bring out the best in me.
What the future holds? I don't know. What's next? I do not know. Will mostly spend time with family. Get in the best shape I can and let my instincts and best version drive me. It is important to find life's work and I hope it provides meaning to my life
Family and friends were shocked by my decision to move back but I have no time or interest to justify my actions. Life is short and I have ruthelessly try to become the best version of myself. I got the opportunity to meet highly skilled people in my journey in the West. Now time to apply those skills and move on further.
