I apologize as I have been neglecting my blog. However, I believe I am on the brink of something.
I am refreshed. I have been reluctant to change because I fear normalcy: sitting at a desk, in a library-esque office, taking orders, losing touch with my soul. I can't do that. I don't want to be a cog in the system- a cookie-cutter type person. I don't care to be obedient in a traditional sense. I want to make a difference! I truly feel that as long as I continue to be choosy in where my life goes- particular and inentional- I can find a '9 to 5' that will give me the right experience in business growth, development, creativity, etc. A chance to prove myself and implement what I have been learning and preaching.
"The competitive advantage the marketplace demands is someone more human, connected, and mature. Someone with passion and energy, capable of seeing things as they are and negotiating multiple priorities as she makes useful decisions without angst. Flexible in the face of change, resilient in the face of confusion. All of these attributes are choices, not talents, and all of them are available to you." -Seth Godin
I want to connect to those around me- make an impression, innovate, and gift. Experiment. Push boundaries. Make change where change is due. I am human and I vow to bring this with me in all of my personal and professional endeavors. I am starting to see that I can make a difference in an organization. I will be an artist- crafting my life to look like my life- not one that you see in movies or magazines. I have a burning desire to learn about success, happiness, growth, and humans. I take that very seriously and often feel, when I am doing other things, that I am wasting precious time.
If we set ourselves up for success in the workforce, there is a mutual benefit: a win-win for the employer and employee. If we are able to do our best work, everybody wins.
