Hi friends, the last few months of my life have been extremely difficult for me. I recently celebrated my 18th birthday and recognized that I was not satisfied with my life choices on career any longer. I felt like I was running on an unending treadmill, day after day learning for something I didn't want. So, I came to terms with the fact that it was time for me to push the reset button. It was a scary thought, but I also know that this decision will turn out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made so far in life.
We all know that life will throw a curveball at you now and again. The loss of a relationship, getting laid off which I hope never to experience when I start working or the feeling in your gut that you have a greater purpose out there, these are examples of what can flip your world upside down. I clearly remember the time in college that I failed a major test because of one little mathematical mistake. I think I had a minute left before I turned it in. Just prior to handing it in, I decided to redecorate my fateful test and started fresh. It was the most terrifying moment of my life, but I was successful. The overall experience taught me that everything that I had been through up to that point would give me a second chance at being successful, with a better and clearer picture of what is ahead of me.
Of course, there will always be self doubt. What if I screw it up again? However, breaking things down into small bites can also help with the self doubt. One of your goals could be to update your resume or to call someone who has experience. One more thing you should do is surround yourself with positive people that understand what you’re attempting to do or have just done. I became a member of a local group of people that want to change careers. That support gave me a new found motivation.
There is no reason to stay stuck. I have recently started my own small business, it has no store and inventory is pathetic but it's a humble beginning and it's tough but I enjoy what I do. If you are thinking about starting over, do it. You can accomplish anything you want to accomplish.
