Reflections of the Year
As some of you may know, I have spent the last week and a half vacationing in the east bay, with J. As the week comes to a close I must reflect upon all that has happened.
*This past summer, I got a full time day job that I enjoy, but has become a source of debilitating stress
*I successfully started a vocal studio, but put it on hold upon starting my full time, in office day job.
*I dove into the world of virtual administrative work, only to find that that type of work was clearly not for me.
This evening I attended a cocktail party, during which I had several meaningful conversations with those further along in their lives. Shortly after stating my accomplishments and that I merely aspired to restart and exponentially grow my vocal studio, I was told that I must continue to paddle along and work on achieving my goals, despite the odds seemingly placed in front of me.
Thus, I plan to restart my studio and charge more, hold the lessons at professional studio, and little by little, catch up on continuing to make my goals.
I have also discovered that I am easily side tracked, especially by other very passionate people. I seem to become quickly insecure and forget that my talents, skills and experience are worthwhile and are worth putting effort into and getting behind. At the end of the day, work is work and work, especially if not the work I have my heart set on doing, is clearly a thing that I must be able to leave at the office at the end of the day.
There is much to do, but I feel I have a plan now.
