Quote of the Week

{Source

I'll have to quote Steve Jobs. For today was my first day at a new job. I recently joined an Interior Design firm  to work as a designer.  Hopefully, this is it, the career I've been searching for for a very long time. A path I've always wanted for the last ten years, but also very scared of actually doing. 

One of those things I wanted very badly, but had been very elusive. Until one day, at a time when I completely let go of the whole idea, it just takes me by surprise.  I will not know until I try, right? It was so funny because I had no idea my future  present bosses actually read some of my posts on the design blog. I knew them for years before this blog was born. It was just hilarious when they saw my quiche recipe during my last interview, because I have stopped writing design posts on my other blog for months now. Haha..so I suppose they might read this too. Eek! 

Please bear with me during my adjustment in the corporate world after a really long career break. I usually spend the first week hyperventilating in the bathroom in between tasks. Are you like that too? Or is it just me?  Wish me luck. :)

I wish you all a beautiful weekend.
Love and light,
Arni

  1. Congrats on your new job, Arni!
    I wish you all the best on this new career move - I'm sure you'll do great :)

    I also get very nervous during interviews and first weeks of every new job and I find it hard to sleep and I find it difficult to interact with new colleagues, but it all gets better as time goes by.

    Great quote!

  5. congratulations on this move! I love this Steve Jobs quote, it is so so true, you"ll know it in no time! But also give yourself time to adjust! Since I have started my new job about 3 months ago now, I've been through the same period recently - I know how it feels to have fount "it" but also to experience push backs and learned how to stop, look at it from another angle, take a deep breath and keep going.
    I am sure you will be doing great!!
    Have a wonderful start into your new job, have fun and and a good time!

  6. Congrats Arni! I love stopping by your blog for so many reasons and today it’s your reminder to follow your dreams! Funnily enough, I have wanted to pursue a career in interior design too but life seems to have gotten in the way. I hope your first day isn’t too nerve wracking and that you don’t need to spend time hyperventilating in the bathroom (I do that too!!!) Keep us posted and let us know how it goes!? So excited for you!

  10. Congratulations that's so awesome.

    I tend to hyperventilate before going into work, I'm really horrible when it comes to anticipating changes, but once the change starts happening, I'm usually ok.
