Lifestyle: Career Choices

Filed As: Lifestyle/Career/Success/Future

...In this day and time every one wants to be known as being the successful person or living out their dream job. All women want to be CEO's and I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T Chicks in my "Boosie Voice". It's the right thing to do, I guess. Instagram has all the ladies looking like they are the best of the best with having their own business or starting from the bottom, now they are here. I may sound very catty right now but I am honestly speaking the truth. Honestly, what I am trying to say is that I am proud of Us, Ladies. But what we need to show as well to the women of the world that it is not all peaches and cream, and it takes a lot of dedication and hard work to build an empire. It's not always lavish and there are some days where things aren't amazing, but if one keeps pushing then she can achieve anything that she have in her mind. 

So, in good news. My career life has been a fluctuation of good news and not so good news. I changed job roles in the past months and to say the least it has been one of the most challenging experiences ever. But, as of August I am now a part time Medical Instructor/Teacher at LAI. I will be teaching Anatomy and Physiology for a few weeks. I am excited and nervous because 1. I have never taught in my life before, 2. I am teaching older individuals like myself, and 3. I don't even know where to began, I am self taught. But you know what is crazy, I don't have any teaching degree just my medical experience. So to say it is a BLESSING, is definitely an understatement. 

I think I may have a few pointers for others like myself when it comes to career goals and such. 

1. You do not have to keep chasing your dreams, BEGAN to CREATE them.

2. When one door CLOSES, remember another one will OPEN.

3. Be a RISK-TAKER, dive head first.

4. Find others in your CAREER field to help mentor you.

5. SURROUND yourself with people who want to see you SUCCEED and mean you WELL.

6. STAY PRAYED UP, remember that your plan does not work out, GOD already has PLANS for you.

6. Don't be afraid to TRY NEW things, you may never know how GREAT you can be at it.

The Return of H.E.R.

The Return of I, H.E.R. 

Last time I posted I told you all of my new career move and I'm one week into my new job. My mind has been super full and filled with lots of new information pertaining to my position. It's crazy how we can be so happy for change but then doubt our moves. This was me at first but then I realized I have to pat myself on the back and be happy for my progression. So with that being said I'm excited for a new venture and much abundance. 

We have to keep reminding ourselves that we have the power to always be in a happy space. Sometimes we give other people or other things power over our position. We critique ourselves and sometimes it causes hindrance, because what we don't realize is that we fear self because we know but don't always understand that we are capable of greatness. 

Remember that you don't have to change for anyone unless it's for betterment. Accept positive feedback, be receptive to valuable information and do what's best to better you and others around you. 

A leader serves. She isn't of ego but of humility.
