My boss just gave me a really informative perspective, "A year of sitting in a chair and discovering what you were born to do, is well worth the price!"
I occasionally forget to be grateful for the truly amazing opportunities I have been offered over this last year.
Prior to this position, I was lost in the world: I knew I did not want to be in the retail or broadcasting field but I was completely unaware of what I truly wanted to do.
I interviewed for an inside sales position (for which I knew I would hate), halfway through my interview I was offered an opportunity as a marketing coordinator (which was exactly what I thought I wanted-at the time), after two months I was offered an opportunity to attend a trade show (which was not in my job description but I so desperately wanted to attend), from there I discovered a gift--I love sales! I am good at sales! This was what I was meant to do!
My days aren't always ideal, they are a lot of hard work, but I am one of the few people who discovered who they were meant to be. One of the few who empowers a strong passion for what they do every day, and one of the very few who actually get to do it with the encouragement and direction from an amazing team!!
It is very rewarding to know my struggle and hard work has led me to this place, to which I cannot be anything but grateful!
This week, as we enjoy a day off celebrating with BBQ's and fireworks, take the time to reflect on how lucky we are to be apart of this great nation and have the opportunities that we do!
"America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand."--Harry S Truman.
