Everybody.... Welcome me!!!
I'm new to blogging but as much as love to talk I know this is going to be fun. So, lately I've been thinking about a career change. I can always think of all the reasons I can't do what it is I want to do. I have so many ideas but sometimes I just let them fall by the wayside. I want to operate a preschool. I want to plan events. I want to start a book club with teenage girl of color. Where the hell is my drive?? Why am stuck sitting at my desk doing monthly summaries, child plans, stats, placement papers!!?? I need some guidance. I need to get my but back in school. I'm too young to be stuck. My cousin was telling me that we have a window of opportunity in which we can try any and every career or idea. As we get older the window gets smaller and smaller. I don't want my window to close!

- I'm chasing a rainbow, praying for happily ever after. I'm on a journey. I pray to be on the path the Creator has set for me and not wander off into my own way. I'm much more than what meets the eyes. I'm wounded, yet strong. I'm soft spoken but I can speak up when I need to. I hold in way too much but I do love to talk :-) I'm one of the nicest people you'll ever meet....says my name, "to meet her is to love her". I'm loyal, dependable and just an overall great person :-)...I miss my brother Osakwe every moment of every day. I know I will make him and all my ancestors proud of me! I MISS ATLANTA!!!! Favorite Meal -- Salmon, Garlic Mashed Potatoes (or Baked), Asparagus, and Garlic Bread. Favorite Color -- Any and all shades of Orange
Please don't let the window close! It is true as time goes on opportunities may narrow, but all you need to do is--------do it!!! I know how we can get stuck in life---wishing and hoping---but not doing. You are a BCN, you are too good to let life pass you by and not do what your passions in life are. Dig deep, pray, meditate and do it. I believe in you. Great picture.
ReplyDeleteOkay, where do I start? As an entrepreneur and business owner, I'm a firm believer in opportunities. If your window closes, then that means it's just time for you to go through the door. Your drive is within you, otherwise you wouldn't have written this. You do need guidance, so your thoughts won't be so random; however, this doesn't mean it's not okay to have various desires when it comes to career choices. You are surely not happy with what you're doing right now and you obviously want to venture out into entrepreneurship. You'll never be stuck as long as you have this desire to do more, but you will need to act on it eventually.
ReplyDeleteI speak from experience. I lived it and I currently help others get through it. I left my very secure job in corporate america to focus on my passion. I had a lot to lose, but so much more to gain and I don't regret any choice or moment. Everything isn't for everyone, but how will you know if you don't take the risk, a calculated risk. I'm sure I'm not about to tell you things you don't already know or think. I'm just saying take at least an hour out of everyday and work towards another goal, whether it's reasearch about operating a child care facility or if it's lining up some events to manage.
