Perhaps You're Just Laying The Necessary Foundations?

Inspiration can come in many forms.

After 15 years in a completely clerical job...I now find it almost impossible NOT to 'think out of the box' (to use management-speak).

What about YOU...do you ever think 'around' a subject to see if there could be a different aspect to it that you haven't considered?

As my 'job' now is based on a serious degree of creativity (well...YOU try and write something useful and positive every day!)...it has surprised me at how well I have 'adapted' to my new role.

But...on reflection...perhaps THIS is what I SHOULD have been doing all of those unfulfilled years in a bank.

Perhaps I NEEDED that experience in order to provide the foundation for what I am doing now.

Although I haven't brought along any technical skills I learned in banking...I HAVE brought with me my desire to lead, motivate...and be 'business-like'.

Although I've worn a suit only twice in the last 3 years...I know that I CAN step back into that more 'corporate' role if I need to (for example when presenting to small businesses the other week.)

So...in retrospect...perhaps those years in a job that I excelled at, but never really enjoyed DID provide me with something that has set me on this path...and for the future.

Whatever situation YOU are in at this very moment...just remember that you WILL move on to 'better things' (if that's what you want, of course)...but ONLY if look towards what you REALLY want to do with your life...and begin to make PLANS to achieve it.

It works for me...so there's no reason why it can't work for YOU.
