Have you ever faced a situation which seemed to be a big problem, but sooner or later you realized that it was a blessing in disguise? We often get opportunities wrapped up as difficulties, forcing us to move out of our comfort zone. It could be because of higher studies opportunities outside our home town, a business opportunity beyond our current capabilities or even something more personal, like marriage with a person living outside our home town or even in another country. No doubt, it sounds interesting, but it does come with its share of doubts and fears.
Here, you can choose to consider this as a positive opportunity towards growth, or a negative event forcing you to leave all you once had and move into the unknown, into unknown places with unknown people. Most people will experience a mix of both the feelings at some point in time. However, which feeling we give most importance to is going to determine our experience and hence our opportunities. So, it makes more sense to choose the positive aspects of the current conditions and look for a way forward.
A new city will remain new until and unless you find friends who can act like family. To remove our doubts on whether or not the new place is for us, we need to take initiative to meet new people and find new friends. The onus of making the new city our own lies on us. However, once we succeed, we ensure our long-term bond with the place.
