Ok, it’s not easy to work, especially when you’re an employee. You must obey, keep your self-control in any circumstances, be on time, patient, smiling, hair dressed, polite, well dressed, self-confident, a hard worker… what else? So a warrior! Because from the time you put a toe finger out of bed up to your sleeping, you’re another you, a working you… not a different you, but another side of you, one you’d like to kick away from time to time. Just to breathe. Just to be also the deep side you’d rather prefer to be all the time long: this one who loves, cooks, drives kids to school, paints, writes or plays golf. A one who is peaceful, thankful for life, who likes to watch a sunset, meets friends, and feels alive…
Do you get me?
What does make you feel so dependent from your current situation? What could you do to change it for a better life, to make this part of you so cherished, so nice to come true? Why don’t you dare to hope nor to try something else anymore?
I can hear you replying: “need my job to pay taxes, my kids’ Uni, my parents’ hospital or their retirement home rent”. So I can add a word: you’re right, you must pay for all these duties. You’re a good person, you do what is fair.
You can decide to do something you don’t dare to think however, something you dream of sometimes: being the boss… yes, you!
You can do it! How?
First, you just have to feel it… isn’t it good to be the master and the commander? Hmm… you’ve got it! Secondly, you might remember what your dreams were about during your youth. It’s a good mark to know exactly what you are made for, because when you were young, your intuition hasn’t been smashed and cut from your soul by our materialistic and conformist society yet.
Here you are, close to your inner you. You have found deep in your heart that awesome stuff and now you don’t know how making it work. Don’t worry! Open your mind, talk about it with people around you, everyone who could help you in any way. Think they all got a tip, some information which could make you go further with your project. Ask and look around you, read lots articles about it, some interviews of successful people in this line of business, watch at few blogs on the web (the web is a gold mine to find any information!), so I can assure you that you’ll find out exactly what you need to know. Stay on your path: don’t be shy and be confident.
But what about if ever you don’t get any dream to come up? What about if your dreams are unrealistic? (I mean something you abs can’t do or be). My sister told me last time we’re together: “I can’t go back, I should have learnt before, when I was young. Now it’s too late”. I feel so sorry when we talk about her failures, what she could have become if ever she had taken the good road, that I can’t resign myself and I usually reply: “it’s not too late, you just have to change your dream: build one another more interesting and more beautiful. Find it out”.
Most of people don’t trust themselves enough to create this point of view. But have they ever trusted in them, by the way? Maybe the real issue is that one, in the mess of their head: “how to trust in myself if I can’t even get a dream supposed to come true?” The answer is: change your dream! Yes, you’ve heard me! Change your dream for one another more workable and nice. You won’t be an astronaut for sure, nor an acrobat in a circus, nor a marathon man (or woman)… but you just could be someone you used to be: a good cook, a good friend, a good nurse, a good mother or father, a good homemade worker, and so on. I mean everything you do for yourself or for your relatives could be a smart start of something that could work out as a new job. Maybe you could be very useful by reading a few pages of some novels in a retirement home, or do the bookkeeping of that old grocery owner round the corner, or cook some delicious dishes for a charitable association. It could change your vision of life, your role in the society, the way you look at yourself in the mirror, and of course the way people trust in you and rely on you.
Dreams and hopes can’t be considered as useless before you have done everything to come them true. So go back in your mind and find some out: I’m quite sure you’re going to start a new way of life, slowly, carefully, but with peace, love and happiness in the heart.
Love,
Jane
