When I was finishing school I decided to go and move London and study a course that a guy I fancied was studying, awesome move, right? Needless to say that didn’t last long and before I knew I had dropped out of university and was pondering what to do with my life. I started working to pay off student debt and to get some cash together to travel.
I decided New York was the best place to start. Before healing over a good friend of mine gave me a travel journal and wrote in it “make every moment count” this really made me think, was I living life to its fullest? As a uni drop out I was constantly being told I would never amount to anything and that I needed to go and get a ‘real’ job as at the time I was working as a waitress. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this for a living and didn’t pay attention to the seemingly older and wiser folk in my life.
10 years on and I have become extremely successful in my line of work – hospitality. I have traveled the world for in various roles and have amazing opportunities due to my job. I may have left uni and decided to start a new route to success but I did what I wanted to do. I am glad that I didn’t give into pressure and end up working a job that I didn’t love. I didn’t need to study to get to where I am now, I needed to work my ass off, which I did. Now I am taking time to change careers all over again, I have had my moment in hospitality and have decided it’s time for a change again. I am going to try something completely new, I don’t want to be one of those people who gets up and goes to work and has no passion. I know so many of them.
Live the life you love. Your passion should be your compass. Figure out what you LOVE to do and use this as your map for happiness. I live a life where my aim is to make the world a happier place by helping people change their negative self talk to more positive loving banter. Our constant negative chatter can create limiting beliefs (oh I hate that term) which give rise to self defeating behaviors, which affect your results that help reinforce the behavior, which leads to more negative thoughts,! AHHHHHH, it’s a vicious circle of negativity and we don’t go and do what we want to do due to the fear we have created in our own heads… now how silly does that sound?
I’m so excited to be a part of the project 20 and am here should any of you need help along your journey to awesomeness.
