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.

Lipstick 1.4: Career Life

Well Hello Weekend! Mine did not officially began until the clock striked 12 and I left those office doors. 

So I have almost closed the chapter from my current job that I have worked at for 3 1/2 years, but I began a new journey as soon as those doors close in less than one week. 

Sometimes we become so comfortable in our job role that we take our time to seek other opportunities because of the unknown. But when it is our time to go where we can go grow and find new meaning nothing can stop it. Think of when a flower is watered, it begans to bloom with all of the proper nurturing. 

So what I want to say is that when you feel like your time is up somewhere, take that leap of faith to sought out what will contribute to your success. Every opportunity is a stepping stone to the next level in your life. Go where you will be appreciated and not where you are tolerated. If it is for you, remember nothing or no one can stop it. 

Don't dim your light because others are insecure. Walk into a room and own it! You have a purpose, you are destined. When people see that you are moving forward they will be intimidated, they will speak down about you and they will pass their judgement but remember that's why they are still sitting in that same seat.
