Serenity Prayer...

#Hıdırellez !!

It's that time of year when nature bursts back to life, felt by many as a special moment when the energies of earth and water reconnect.

You'll see people doing things like jumping over fires or leaving little wishes by roses, all quietly hoping for good health, luck, and better times ahead.

Hearing "Echoes" and the rest of that legendary set reverberate through the ancient Roman amphitheater on that massive screen with that incredible sound was just epic!

Just got back from seeing Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII in IMAX with the family, and 😎🥰! Absolutely blown away! The visual remaster was stunning, and @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social 's enhanced audio mix in IMAX was a truly immersive experience.

"Our life is what our thoughts make it." – Marcus Aurelius

Let's not shy away from change or the challenges it brings. Let's view them as the crucible in which resilience is forged, potential is unlocked, and unexpected passions are discovered. What challenges have spurred your greatest growth and personal discoveries?

We learn to focus on what is within our control – our actions, our mindset, our passions, our perseverance – while accepting the external circumstances we cannot change. This process builds not just a career, but a richer, more resilient life.

Facing ambiguity, learning new ways of communicating, adapting to different environments, and reshaping professional identity are demanding. Yet, it's through such trials, supported by personal anchors, that we discover untapped capabilities and forge a deeper sense of self.

It echoes the wisdom that challenges are not impediments but opportunities – chances to test our resilience, discover hidden passions, and emerge stronger, much like a Phoenix reborn.

They demonstrate that even when external circumstances feel overwhelming, we can cultivate inner resources and find new ways to thrive.

These activities weren't mere distractions; they were integral to navigating the journey. They became outlets for creativity, tools for maintaining well-being, and ways to connect.

It underscores the idea that,

"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking." – Marcus Aurelius.

Staying active became a cornerstone for well-being, and embracing the challenge of learning entirely new skills, even later in life, proved invigorating. These practices became tools for reflection and maintaining balance through challenging times.

In navigating ambiguity, I found anchors and new avenues for growth in personal pursuits. Long-held interests deepened, sometimes transforming into new creative outlets or methods of sharing experiences.

Recent global events further underscored the need for adaptability, creating a period not just of professional recalibration, but also of personal reflection and rediscovery.

These weren't just geographical or professional moves; they were internal transformations. Starting anew forces us to confront our limitations, reassess our strengths, and cultivate an inner fortitude.

As Seneca noted,

"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body."

Each major step, whether embracing a new country early in my career, returning to familiar ground to forge a new path, or later undertaking another significant international move into an unfamiliar environment, demanded adaptation and resilience.

My own journey has been marked by significant shifts – transitions across borders, pivots through different professional domains from engineering to consulting to sales, and navigating profound personal milestones and losses.

Yet, true growth, the kind that forges character and deepens our understanding of ourselves and the world, often lies just beyond the borders of that comfort.

Life, much like the technology landscape I navigate professionally, is in constant flux. We often build comfortable zones, routines, and careers that provide stability.

This album is more than just music to me. It's a part of my past, a reminder of where I was 31 years ago. It shows that even when things change, great music can still speak to you.

Even after all this time, The Division Bell is still an album I love coming back to.

The guitar playing just shines, and the songs feel like they're about trying to connect with people, or sometimes feeling alone.

Listening now, 31 years later, brings back so many memories. Songs like "High Hopes" make you think about everything that's happened since then. ( @hertekin.bsky.social )

Think about that – that was 31 years ago! It's wild to think it's been that long since I first heard it, especially now that I'm almost 50.

The Division Bell feels different. It's not as loud or angry as some of their other stuff. It's more quiet, thoughtful, and beautiful.

For most of my life, Pink Floyd has been my band. Since the 80s, I've loved their music, including the stuff with Roger Waters (he's a genius!) and his solo work too.

But there's one album they did later, without Roger, that really special to me: The Division Bell. It came out way back in 1994.
