It's all relative.
Whatever you believe in...your life will become a mirror of that.
Based on my own experiences - I can say this 100% conviction.
I USED to believe that who I was as a person was defined by my role at work (and therefore in society).
So...I was a clerk, then supervisor, then section head, then manager...followed up by consultant as I changed jobs.
The trouble was...as a person...I wasn't ANY of those!
I was BETTER than my 'position'...except I hadn't rally convinced myself that I was.
Now...just a couple of years later...I KNOW that I was holding myself back for so many years.
Sad really.
It's even sadder...that I KNOW that YOU are holding YOURSELF back for those very same reasons!
It's time for that to change.
It's time for YOU to realize that YOU are talented enough to make a success of whatever YOU choose to do.
As long as you make sure that YOU are doing it for the RIGHT reasons!
You may think that you want to break away from your career...but you might not realize how much (on a non-monetary basis) YOU actually may get from going to work.
Even now...working at the 'job' that I love...I STILL miss the social side of working. (But...I'm now working on changing that!)
This time of year is always a time for reflection...and the FIRST thing that you should give some thought to is to the question...
"Aside from money...what do I WANT from my commitment of 35 (or more) hours per week?"
If there is a gap between what your job 'title' is...and what you KNOW you can get for yourself...then it might be time to start a little 'hobby' on the side that might test your abilities.
Who knows if your 'hobby' could turn into something else?
But...if it doesn't, then at least you will benefit from the knowledge of TRYING.
And perhaps you'll realize that YOU are BETTER than YOU think!
