Thoughts

Had this big dinner last night with a bunch of Ruks' friends over and was talking about my "time off" in India.

Last year, I always thought of myself as someone who needed to work 80 hours a week. I needed to always be occupied/productive. Work was life for me, and I liked it.

But Delhi showed me, that was just how I defined myself. I can just as easily be the guy who can work 40 hours a week and enjoy life. Doing something completely different helped me see that I can do anything I want. I don't need to be the person who has to work 80 hours. I can choose to be that, or choose to be someone who never has to see the inside of a cubical again.

Now I have a choice.
