Epiphany

I've been thinking a lot about what I truly love and how I want to spend my life. I have a clearer vision of what gives me joy. I like interacting with people, I love variety and I like change. I love flexibility.

I'm excited for clarity. With my goal to apply for 5 different positions a day I thought about the last customer service job I had. While I did it well and enjoyed talking to and helping a variety of people, it's NOT something I'm passionate about doing. When I think about ALL the jobs I've had that I enjoyed they were NOT 9-5 jobs where I did the same thing EVERY DAY. Admittedly dancing was a job that spoiled me. I know how lucky I was to B paid to perform when I was in JR high and then high school. I had fun acting in plays in Tonga growing up and I loved being in color guard in high school. I loved missionary work, I enjoyed leadership positions, responsibility, speaking to the public, interaction. I had fun being a mentor to Pacific Islander and Asian kids. I liked giving elementary school kids tours of the circuit courts in Hawaii, I enjoyed being a church service missionary at the conference center. I will ALWAYS love sharing information about the gospel with other people.

There are enough jobs out there for me to apply JUST for things I find fascinating and I DON'T have to just work anywhere.

It's fine to B choosy, I just need to B persistent with ALL my choices and make sure each of these supports exactly where I want to B!!! Life is fabulous! We all have sooo many amazing opportunities. I am so grateful for my insight. The hardest thing about ANYTHING is figuring out what we want. Achieving it is simply a series of steps. Time for me to get stepping!
