Circles

Right now I am amazed at how things in my life are coming to full circles. It also teaches me that time I have spend earlier during my life have not been wasted.

For example: When I was 18 I went to teacher training college just knowing that I wanted to do something with English or History in my life. There were too many students wanting to do History so I did not make it in there. I stayed in Teacher training college for 3 years studying English and Dutch and had a great time. But I never finished and I never thought I would ever do something with teaching in my life. And although I kept going over to Britain and the United States the next decades I didn’t do anything professional with English either. History has forever been one of my biggest hobbies and I am happy with that.

Last year the circle was round. I started tutoring the diploma in online counselling for OnlineTrainingforCounsellors. Which is a British company and the tutoring is in English. And right now I am marking papers for the first time since I left teacher training college.

I strongly believe that the things we do in our lives have meaning. Even if that meaning is not clear straight away, it will come to you. In my case it took 20 years, but it is a pretty nice feeling when it happens.

Do you have stories like this to share? I would love to hear them!
