Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Self-Conquering, Passion, and Vision
Hello friends! Welcome back to this journey in which you can discover your hidden potential and pave the pathway to the right career. I had previously discussed the importance on distinguishing between what a “career” entails versus a “job”.

A Grumpy Old Man
My sister and I have only been attending our church for a few years. It’s a small church, no more than 100 people most weeks. We made it a point early on to go around introducing ourselves. Before and after service, we would walk the pews shaking hands and hugging necks (this was pre-COVID times of course). We became known amongst the congregation for our “sweet” disposition. At first, it felt nice. . . To be recognized in such a way. But, as time passed, this image people had of us began to feel like a weight. I felt as if I was obligated to put on my best face, even when I found myself in a depressive state last Spring. To greet everyone, even when I’d rather stay silent. To shake hands and hug necks, like I once so joyously did, even when I’d rather do anything but. Something we’d started as a way to break the ice and build fellowship became the one thing I came to dread every Sunday.

Eyes Front
As I get into my car, I put on my seat belt next check my mirrors and shift the car into drive. The year 2020 is now in the rear view mirror getting smaller and smaller as I continue to press my my foot fiercely on the gas pedal, as if my foot was planted there and the roots are too strong for my foot to break. There is only what I can see in my windshield, last year is disappearing. In the express lane of change no longer waiting in traffic going nowhere stuck in place. Radically changing for the better, I have a decent amount of miles under my belt already the only question is, where to next?

Who Am I?
Welcome to my new journey. The above picture is where I want my office to be very soon. How can one establish that you may think? Well I may not be an expert in any one thing but I do know a little something about a lot of things. You see when you work 50+ hours a week for almost 30 years you become to realize just how much of your life has been wasted. I have gained a lot of knowledge over the years being in the business management and finance fields but the one thing I never thought about, not even for a second, was how important mental health is too. Now that I am staring down the barrel of my 46th birthday I have to make a change. This is my journey and I feel others need to hear it too.

Once More With Feeling
I am a 51 year old peri-menopausal mom who, in the fall, is going to have an empty nest. I never thought I would even have kids, let alone be faced with the absolute dread of an empty nest. My son is my one-and-only child. The doctors told me I would never be able to get pregnant, and to my (at the time) boyfriend's surprise, Lucas is my true miracle. My husband, Bob, is the very best dad and husband, and I am blessed beyond words for my little family. I spent 16 weeks, yes 4 MONTHS on bedrest with Lucas, which felt like an eternity. And while that was a long-haul.. the next 18 years would go by faster than I could ever imagine.

Finding my Ikigai
We're all on our own journey together. Some people have these thoughts upon reaching a milestone, others have these thoughts when starting a new path, and a few may have these thoughts while influenced by various recreational elixirs of choice. What is my purpose? How am I doing in life? Where am I going?

How to Love Yourself
I began 2020 in a clouded fairy tale romance that swept me off my feet on a daily basis. Looking at it now, I was the girl in love with the un-employed gamer boy who relied on his parents money for rent and food, classy. I, of course, was able to reap some of those benefits of eating out whenever I wanted to and not really worrying about paying the rent. As much as I enjoyed living without worries of money or constant love affirmations, I now realize, post break-up, I had set myself up for failure in the self-care department. I relied on this boy for everything and he didn't really give me anything of long-term value. I tightly held on to everything he gave to me and it still wasn't really enough...

From the gloom
Nobody knows when it will happen. Their great epiphany. The realisation that life is an accumulation of things, some important, most not. It's a sad place to find one's self, finally coming to the conclusion that it's all for nothing, in the end. What's the point in living if there is no real purpose? Most people envision their great epiphany to be enlightening, uplifting, unbounding, yet the real outcome is quite the opposite; disheartening, hopeless and grim.

Testing the Limits
Negotiating payment has always been difficult for me, and this time was no different. When my new employer asked me my rate in the middle of last year, I immediately low-balled, convinced that I didn’t deserve the salary that I actually wanted because I am a fairly recent college graduate. Months down the line, I realize how much this decision has cost me in pride and financial stability, and how I let another door to opportunity close.
