Hi Fuad,
The situation you are facing does sound familiar to me. I experienced something similar but what I learned from that experience was that, coming from considerate family, we often think a lot about the impact of our actions, choices, and decisions on others. This might not be the case always, but most of us are raised that way so we don’t cause any harm to people, we don’t hurt them by our attitude and behavior etc.This is all good stuff and I am not saying that we start to act selfish or hurt others. What I am saying is that it is your ‘intention’ that matters the most and sometimes if you have clean intentions, you should not hesitate to make some bold decisions in life. Unintentionally, you might hurt somebody in someway, but you have to be honest to yourself to make sure that you did not have intent or purpose to hurt someone. Whether you call it science, religion, or whatever, the bottom line is that two things can never have same priority and we have to make a choice-that is where the biggest confusion starts in life.
When it comes to relationships, the reality is that we live in a materialistic world. It might sound harsh, but practically, it is almost impossible to find a life partner who will take the risk to be with someone who might have big dreams and ambitions, but not much to support those dreams, or each other. In my own opinion, we don’t really have to give up on our dreams and passion, but there is nothing wrong in having the same passion and dream, but change our perspective to follow them.
Anyone with passion for own business will never be happy working for a 9-5 job, but the fact is that working for someone or taking any job is just a part of your strategy to follow your passion and eventually establish your own business. If you keep that in mind, you will start developing interest in any job, no matter what, the road will eventually lead to your own business.
Nothing happens in life without a reason.If you are getting a job, it is most probably because that is what your fiance might be praying for so you can be with her.No matter what your beliefs are, the prayers are definitely heard as long as they are clear, precise, and come from heart.So, take it that way. You want to be with her, she wants to be with you, and there is job lined up for you to make it work. If you analyze your present moment, you will realize that at this moment, you have it all. Treasure it and live in NOW. Cheers!
