The 3 years and the creation of the next chapter

Today's my 3 year anniversary with NetApp.  A lot of changes, disappointments, growth, and regrets.

In the last three years, I've read the most number of books that I have ever read; I've run the most miles that I've ever run; I've overcame the most fear and resistance at the time when nothing's promising;  I've completely accepted myself, physically and mentally for whoever I am for the 1st time; I've tried to grow and find my calling, purpose...

I want to create the next chapter for me.  A chapter to move towards my calling, to remove all the fresh baggage, come clean and high.

I have a year to change.  If next year is my last year with NetApp, will I work differently?
