Different journeys can change everything; I didn’t realize that until I went through many transformations in my life, but how else are you supposed to know, without those new experiences? I believe that different experiences build and shape humans; the feelings produced by any journey are either enjoyment or suffering, and both have immediate impressions.
Place, work, people, community, and habits are the main elements that can help form us, and as much as I grew, I learned how to take enough pleasure out of each part to make a positive change in each area in the life. Here’s a review of the five roads that changed the concept of everything in my life.
Moving into a new city: An exclamation point raised in my mind the day I decided to move to Riyadh after accepting a work opportunity there, though I love the city, and most of the trips in my life have been to the capital. The idea of the relocation shocked me a little bit, and it took me time to accept the sequences of my decision concerning where I lived and how to manage my life. I’m glad to say it’s worth the move as I have gained a lot of fruitful experiences at all levels, thanks to God.

Working on a new work design is an uneasy challenge, though; I went through it, and it was a great adventure.
Taking a risk trying something new is an exciting way. I advised everyone to explore new things and discover the beyond. I can’t pass through this without thanking those people who believed in me and encouraged me to go the extra mile to expand myself, knowledge and work.
Engaging with many different people is one of the most pleasant journeys someone can have, and because I support diversity everywhere, that part of my story impacted me positively. It’s funny how sometimes trying to improve aspects of other areas can end up altering your starting point. I want to give high credit scores to everyone who introduced me to their cultures and interests to enhance my understanding of reality.
Having a more profound sense of community, being attached to communities that share the same goals and visions, has influenced me to a great extent. Honestly, this can be clear in the healthy lifestyle I inhabited and occupied during my experience with the communities.
Practising new habits and behaviors is usually determined by the collective culture or mood. I noticed patterns I developed through time spent with new people, and it’s important to point out how collective action can raise our awareness effortlessly. These were only a few short tales of my journey in life, that has made me who I am.
