Somethings Gotta Give
It is a new year and I am the old me… for now anyway. I need a change and it won’t just be a haircut this time! I have been playing this juggling game, which is getting old and I am getting tired. I miss being a wife and I miss being myself. I haven’t been the world’s best employee (despite what my coffee mug says) and my house is a mess! The only people who I am any good with are my boys and that is limited lately. So, somethings gotta give.
I am not looking to be the ultimate soccer mom nor the I can do it all executive with a family, but I am looking for myself. I am a mother and a wife, and I need to find a “career” that is in line with those priorities. I am not a cookie-cutter kind of person, so I am looking to create my own opportunities. I have always wanted my own business and I am afraid that it will never be the right time to just do it. I think that what is really holding me back right now is just the vision to see my path. I am also realistic to know that it will take lots of time and money, but creating my own business opportunities is the only way that I can make it as rewarding as the effort that I put in.
I lack direction. I went online and found a myers-briggs test and was disappointed to find that it did not compute precisely what I should be when I grow up. Disappointing. I must say that the dead-on insight was remarkable. Perhaps somehow I can take this insight and figure it all out because I am way behind my goal of making my first million by the age of 30! Ok, so the test helped, but the bottom line is that I have realized I need to make changes and I am starting to take the steps to make it happen. When all is said and done, it really is up to me to make it happen.
