Hello Wonderful Steemians!

Hope you are doing great!!

"Get out from the table, if love is no longer served!''

This is one of my favorite life quote. You can replace the word 'Love' with any other word but the thing is you have to understand and realize the need to get out from anything when you are not getting the thing you want on your own way.

This is actually a very vast topic. We all have so many points of view, so different way of living and belief, you can never generalize or judge other's opinion by your own. But as I said, the result or outcome of our work would be same- we should know when to give up.

It's not easy to give up on anything you want. And it's also very difficult to move on from something you are attached to or want really bad. But there is also a inner feeling I think which let us know when to get out, when to look on other things. Listen to your guts feeling.

I am sharing my own story with you...

I was a very careerist woman from the beginning. I hold different academic degree to gear up my career. I was in a top level corporate job before my pregnancy. After my son was born my every life math changes. I have to leave the Top level job to take care of him. As I could not find anyone suitable to look after him and also my heart was not allowing me to left him in an unknown hand. There was also some critical symptom on me after pregnancy. My physical condition was not that good. I have to take the decision to leave the job. I am living in Bangladesh, there is no official day care center or any strict government policy on this. That's another story, I would share it another day.

But what I was saying, I become unemployed. I was frustrated like hell. It was feeling like all my friends and family members are doing great in their life, it was only me who can not do anything. I got another job years later but not as highly paid as previous one. It was also very frustrating for me. And then I realize something bigger, something different!

Life does not give us any equal thing. What we have, may be it's another person's dream. I realize that the feeling of undervalued, frustration does not making me strong and not giving me any positive thing. I need to focus on other positive side of my life to live the fullest. Otherwise I would be in a huge black hole!

When I could not see any ladder in my career, the only thing I could see is the face of my 'little one'; my boy, my sweet little dream. I realize there could not be any precious thing than him in my life. What I am doing in my career is not bigger than him. Running for a good career and getting stressed is not for me from then. I give up on my career building. Maybe a little 'pause' on my career would not costs that much. But what precious moments my son is giving me everyday is more than anything to me.

I refuses a promotion in my current office recently. It was not easy, believe me. But I have to coz that position will bring some other responsibilities which is not possible for me to meet up right now, being a mother. It broke my heart inside. It feels wired when I see my other friends and colleagues are getting much higher than me though they were not that good position in career compared to me. But I managed to motivate myself to not focus on that things anymore.

I give up on other social media because of this reason. It was a bit frustrated to see other's good life. And then find Steemit on this way. But I have to approve I am not on that emotional position anymore.

There is nothing to loose in life actually. What life gives us is more than anything if we can realize that, if we become thankful what we have. I have no regret for anything. It's true that our surroundings and people's demand sometimes may make us feel down about ourselves. But we have to take the remote of our life in our hand. We have to realize when to get up and move on, when to focus on something and give it a pause if necessary.

Life is a wonderful journey. Living it the fullest is the best option!
