I know I’ve seemingly abandoned my beloved blog these past few months but only in a physical sense, my mind has returned me to this site time and time again.
The main reason for my absence has been largely due to my new job. I won’t say where I work, but in the very short time that I’ve been there, I’ve grown increasingly less and less fond of it, that feeling being almost entirely powered by the type of customers that shop there.
The other contributor of my growing dislike, is because I know that, deep down, it’s not where I’m supposed to be, it’s not the direction my life should be taking at this point.
I had a conversation with one of my coworkers about one of the things I’d observed about the rest of the coworkers working there. On average, a coworker’s level of happiness, or lack thereof, was based on whether or not they saw themselves building a future there. Sure enough, having had conversations with certain coworkers about the company, you could easily tell where people’s heads were in regards to their futures. The ones that wanted to build with the company were the ones who “couldn’t be happier.” Others, or the ones who were planning for lives outside of the company, found it to be an alright job at best.
I say that to say this. In the past three months that I’ve been at my job, nothing has further ignited the passion to be greater in this coming year then my time spent there. I won’t say 2013 will “be my year” but I know without a shadow of doubt that I will do my absolute best to further myself both as a person and in my career than I have in this previous year. I hope that you all will do the same. With that being said I hope you all have a wonderful New Years and I’m looking forward to even bigger things in 2013.
