Sometimes you receive good advice from the most unlikely sources. My stepdad and I over the last few months have developed, I wouldn't say a bond, but an understanding. I'm learning to set aside the things that used to irritate the s**t out of me and accept that everything he does is with good intention. He's a good guy. It's twice now that he's said this, "You're a smart person. Live up to your full potential." Funny thing is, I couldn't argue with or get offended b/c he's so right. I've been dilly-dallying, having become comfy in this corporate job, steady paycheck, 401k, kick ass benefits. I'm probably using less than a 1/8 of my brain for this gig. I loved the people, the culture and the freedom of the non-profit, but do I really want to go back to a paycheck by paycheck life?? I have a new subaru to take care of now. My mentor once suggested that for every new idea or career choice I become interested in, to write it down on a piece of paper and put it in a jar. And when I'm ready for a change, get the jar and pick a piece of paper our, and do it. I might have to reconsider doing that. It's not that I don't know what I want to do, it's that I want to do so many things and don't know which to do first. Ok, back to the drawing board..
