Something happened at work today. Something good. A close friend of mine got promoted. I was one of the first few people he told. When he asked me what I thought about it, I said that I was greatly encouraged by this development. And I mean every word I said.

This friend of mine has gone through a lot lately. But I’ve seen him bounce back from so many disappointments, heck.. he’s a human rubber ball! I know he’s been feeling really down lately, even to the point of doubting his future with the organisation. I was genuinely concerned for him. But I couldn’t do much coz the last time I tried, it kinda backfired. So I’ve chosen to lay low and trust that the one who matters will do what needs to be done. Turns out my faith was not misplaced.

I pick my battles everyday. It’s just too much work to win every single one when I know this war is far from over. What are we up against? Apathy. Indifference. Complacency. Delusional beliefs. In-fighting. Mediocrity.

I feel like everything I’ve gone through during the last 10 years have prepared me for this. While I know I am far from ready to go full force on this, make no mistake.. I intend to see this through til the very end.
