34 - What I Really Need ...

Something needs to change - something serious.  Something huge.  Something to shatter me to the core.  If there was a list of what one can do wrong, I feel like in the last 2 months, I've done it.  What's more, I am not sure how to stop it. And that's the part that infuriates me the most. I should know how, right?  I have all the tools, I have the smarts, I have the experience ... and yet, I insist on falling on my face and sitting there.  And, my ass grows fatter. 
     Yes, this has to do with employment (or lack of it), but there is much more than that absent paycheque.  It has to do with what I'm capable of, what I believe I am created to achieve (which I don't have an answer to), hot to do my education and my ability honour.  In a way, I'm letting myself down, but that would make it trite. I need to come up with a way to turn my thinking around, and in that, begin progress in a new direction.
     I am not a salesperson - primarily because I'd be hard pressed to come up with one thing that every person needs.  I correct myself - there is one thing every person needs: education.  Higher learning from something beyond yourself.  The thing is ... I believe it but I don't demonstrate it.  And maybe, therein holds the secret to change for me.

Gratitude Moments for Today
1/ Today, I'm grateful for finding other positions than just admin jobs.  I sent a resume today for an instructor position.  Not sure what the class would be, and certain it would not be FTE, but at least it's something different.
2/ Today, I'm grateful for the beautiful weather we are having!  I think it's almost safe to say that winter is over.
3/ Today, I'm grateful for this struggle ... it's not pleasant, but I think for me it is necessary.
4/ Today, I'm grateful for my education ... it helps me view life and situations in different ways, it also has given me tools to address what needs to be addressed - and hopefully, in there lies the change needed.
5/ Today, I'm grateful for another change to make good.  A kick in the ass would  be nice now.
