A decision




It was Thursday morning, when I was having breakfast, a friend replied my email with "sad face" after I mentioned about the departure date.
Oopss..... I've been very busy trying to check my to-do list, then  just realized it is seven weeks to go....... back to my home country where we are belonged........
We are excited......, sad........, but more excited......, , hectic with the transition process........, counting days till the last day......., have breakfast at my favorite place almost every morning.......
We have been enjoying  our last two months with friends while focusing on repatriation arrangement also  till it is time to move on to the next journey

It is because decisions that we made before.
When?
6 months ago? when the job offer came?
or......
1 year ago while we were planning about next year?
or.....
3 years ago when we came here?
or.....
19 years ago when you chose to work for it?
or....
any day in the past when we made decisions.....

We make decisions not because they're easy, or cheap, or popular.
We make decisions because they're right.

We choose to make it early. Before that, we had to know what we want to be in our life based on seeking of the truly happiness.  I believe that truly happiness comes as a by-product of doing the right things in life, such as having the right habits, the right thoughts, the right beliefs, the right decision, the right actions, or having the right people around you. You need to grow and contribute and create value for others in order to be truly happy ( Dalai Lama ). These were basis for making good decisions, those that will impact our life long term. We thought too many biases if we would make critical decision with only using temporary situation which usually involving more emotion than rationale.

Everything will be easier in the long run if you can make the right decision from the beginning.

We made the decision for this moment away behind . This book is a reminder to keep us doing what we've done, the right things, the right decisions and manage them daily.
