Rui Xi, a former employee of Alibaba for 8 years, grew up with Alibaba and moved to all over the country. In 2012, when karma came together, I followed my inner call and began a fantastic journey of inner exploration. From a female man wandering the world to a modern female practitioner with joy and brilliance...
When she first entered the workplace, she described herself -
"Like a staunch soldier, Wearing armor and scanning the battlefield with bright eyes, there is no room for weakness and fatigue behind the mask, nor for defeat in the battle."
In 2003, a Shandong girl with a delicate appearance and a strong heart graduated from college. I came to Shanghai from Nanjing alone to participate in the job fair for thousands of people in the Ten Thousand Sports Center. That was where the dream began.
Her first job was market development. Even she could not have imagined that in more than a year, a woman would travel almost everywhere in the north of the Yangtze River, especially in the first- and second-tier cities in the three eastern provinces. .
In 2004, Rui Xi joined Alibaba—the place she thought she would stay for the rest of her life. All her life for these eight years revolved around it. My best friend said, Ruixi, you are married, you are married to the company. During her lonely and passionate years, she jokingly said, "Even if he has a harem of three thousand, we can still be considered a beauty."
At that time, "Alibaba", "e-commerce" and "Internet" were still foreign terms, but she plunged into it, changing a pair of shoes every three months, and her hands and feet were all calloused... Starting from front-line sales , then to supervisors, human resources, regional managers, organizational development... From Alibaba B2B, to Taobao, to the group... I have gone through 8 regions.
Lao Ma wrote 8 words to her, "Learn and grow, never give up." Looking back now, I am still deeply grateful for the hard work during those glorious years.
This stay lasted for 8 years, like falling in love for a long time, intoxicated in it, and unwilling to wake up for a long time.
When honors and promotions come to her, when all her friends congratulate her - Hua Mulan, who is charging into battle, can settle down. And the infinite exhaustion and anxiety in her inner soul slowly swallowed her up. After she achieved each of the goals I had always dreamed of and conquered each fortress, she became increasingly unhappy and could no longer feel her true self. The inner smile was gone.
The invisible armor made her gradually forget who she was, what the meaning of life was... and what happiness she was looking for.
In 2012, her inner calling became stronger and stronger. She wanted to do something she had always wanted to do but not do, and go to a place she had always wanted to go but not.
So TMD What! The legendary doomsday in 2012 did not come after all, but she was already backpacking on the road...
From 2012 to 2013, like a shepherd boy's fantasy journey, Rui Xi searched for the answer to happiness and the meaning of life. Walking with meaning.
On this journey, in order to meet the unknown self, I backpacked alone to study in India, the United States, Japan, Bhutan, Nepal, Cambodia, Macau, Hong Kong... I traveled to the ends of the world, and finally met my truest self in my heart.
Norway, at 71 degrees north latitude, stands alone in the freezing cold. The world seems to be composed only of white and blue. The orange light is shining quietly in the distance, as if someone is waiting for you at home, warm...
Norway is chasing the aurora, Aurora dances wildly throughout the night, sexy and uninhibited, completely Bloom and pour down. The ultimate feast of nature can only be experienced in person.
In South India, a woman prostrates herself in a white marble hall with her long head prostrated, and devoutly recited her prayer silently from her heart. Since then, I have gained a new understanding of life and ushered in rebirth after Nirvana.
Fall in love with yourself and everything in the world.
Life is a celebration, fun and interesting. It’s not a drama of painful love that you believe in. When you are acting in full swing, have you ever asked yourself, is there another way to live in life?
Give yourself some freedom.
At the end of this study tour, this woman smiled brightly again. For her, it is more like the beginning of life.
Be grateful for the encounters along the way, be grateful for what happened along the way... teachers, partners, strangers...
Two years of backpacking study tour is too luxurious for most working people one thing.
It may mean that you are not promoted to one level, and you are missing tens or millions of dollars. But in Rui Xi's view, it was a journey through countless lifetimes, a guide of fate, and an unrepeatable life experience.
Pause is for a better start.
She came back, held workshops, and finally returned to the workplace with an enviable position and daily routine.
I am still busy at work, but I feel more relaxed in the workplace.
She said, "In this life, I am not looking for a way home, because no matter whether I look for it or not, I will eventually go back. And what I have to do in this life is to listen to the voice of my heart and bloom my heart. , to continuously create and manifest the inner beauty and joy, and share it with more people, so that more people can see the richness and beauty within themselves. ”
She said that she is more interested. Like yourself now. Not long ago, she went to India again, and meeting her for the third time was like a reunion with an old friend, exchanging greetings. Even when I heard an ancient Indian dance music, I danced freely and heartily in the palace hall of the past.
After a short stay, I said goodbye with a smile and returned to my busy work.
Friends no longer worried, she suddenly disappeared. She has fallen in love with practicing spiritual practice in her daily life and is enjoying it like a fish in water.
Leaving is for a better return...
