My 30 Day Blog Challenge has come to an end! I am glad, but sad at the same time. I am actually happy of the topic for today, because yesterday I had a moment which I think will change how I go about some major things in my life these next few months.
About a couple of years ago I took a career change, my part time hustle became my career and the beginning of a new direction my life was going in. When I went to college I studied engineering and economics, but always had the goal of helping me and working with non profits. So once I graduated I started working with at risk teenagers which I did for about 6 years from direct care, to supervision of kids and staff, to overseeing that care was give to kids, then finally adoption work. I love it all the good and the bad, but honestly....never really paid the bills so I worked as a research analyst to supplement my salary for 4 years....then when my adoption worker job made some changes I began to do research full time and LOVED IT!
This is just a background to my moment. I was in a meeting yesterday and I realized what have I gotten myself into? Am I ready for the career I am going into? I am usually the youngest, only female, and only black in the room, and I am saying I want to be the boss one day? Am I serious? What am I doing to prepare myself for this moment? Am I studying? Am I working harder? Am I bringing my "A" game?
I can honestly answer yes and no to the questions above....but my moment yesterday made me realize that I have to get to the point of being able to answer yes to all of the questions. Failure is not an option. I know what I am here to do, I can no settle for being average. I have to be the best! I have to stop planning and put my plan into action. Excuses are up! It is time to put in the work.
So that is my last moment....I think it is a great moment. I am thankful for that moment :-)
I will write about what I learned from my 30 Day Blog challenge soon, maybe today or tomorrow. I also have some ideas for some new blog posts....my goal is to write everyday, a lot has been on my mind and I feel better when I get those things out. Hope everyone has a stupendous day! I know I will!!
