If there’s one word that defines the year correctly, clearly and precisely is the word Happiness. While in the overall framework of happiness however, the year started not so much on a happy tone, but progressed upwards along its way, the way I pursued.
In the earlier months of 2012 I was working for the wrong people after forcing myself into a work relationship I didn’t want to have. Around that time the biggest event of the year, Social Media Week New York took care of this initial bad move and it was from then on that things started to move on the upbeat side of the happy spectrum.
It was in New York, in the night of Valentine’s day and on top of the Empire State building when I decided that I wanted to do better. It was then that I realized that my life is precious enough to waste it doing what I didn’t want to do so, I started a genuine change by once again going after my dreams and the pursue of happiness.
Things were not easy, but everything done from the end of February onwards was done with and by the heart. I pursued the work relationships I wanted to have, created the kind of business I wanted to create, worked with the people I have always worked with and later on in the year established the advertising agency I always wanted to run.
Adrian Roche KK, born in October is the kind of agency that works driven by passion and genuine admiration for what advertising is about, having the real intention to deliver success for clients. By all and every means, my company is the biggest and most significant professional move in my career and a significant bundle of happiness.
Spring was great, Summer was better and Fall - Winter 2012 are even greater in all aspects of life. At the end of 2012 I am happy and find myself left with once again an important lesson (re)learned, never betray your heart. Life is short, don’t waste it, and never postpone your pursue of happiness.
