For a long time, I thought the U.S. was the ultimate place to be for a tech-savvy person like me. But recently, I realized that everything I truly need is right here in Australia. Interestingly, I’m hearing the same voice from uncontrollable events around me too.
My career is thriving, and every new thing I try seems to succeed, even without trying hard. Events outside my control are pushing things in my favor here. It’s like the universe is telling me to stay put and enjoy what I have, from my daughter’s dramatic growth in netball to my family’s happiness, to new experiences and one success after another.
I remember telling a colleague a couple of years ago how fascinated I was with the tech in the U.S., especially in San Francisco. My favorite podcasters are there, and I said I’d love to move there someday. She looked at me and said, “I wouldn’t leave Sydney for the U.S. if I were you.” That stuck with me. She was born and raised there and just as tech-savvy as me.
It’s not only about tech, it’s about the full experience from all aspects.
Last week, walking from Bondi to Coogee was an aha moment: I realised I need the calmness of the middle of the ocean, with the same power as roaring sounds at the shore, but in a calmer way.
Sometimes, the universe reminds us to appreciate what we have. Like not getting distracted by other girls when you already have a beautiful wife.
Australia isn’t just where I live; it’s where I truly belong.
