So, in regard to escaping the hole or leaving the rat race for my own race, I got promoted at my job. Yes, it's wonderful, and it's what I asked for. Okay, it's not that wonderful, but it is what I asked for and will look pretty good on my resume. And because I believe and love God, I know that it is because of Him that I got what I asked for. See, God is funny. No really...He is. Sometimes he gives you exactly what you ask for so a point can be made or something else can be clearly defined. This happens to people all the time. The car you thought you wanted, you get it. Once you get it, you realize how difficult it is to take care of. Or, on the other side of that, you get the car and everything is great. I'm not saying that every time you ask for something and you get it, things don't turn out as you'd like them to. I'm just saying, pay attention and be mindful of what you're asking. Measure your life where it is, and factor in everything that comes along with what it is you've asked for. Does it fit? Is it realistic?
Well, I've found that this new position has really allowed me to notice what I've been doing with my time since moving to New York. I have goals, and I can say that this position has made me want to speed up the process of reaching them. It's made me realize what my strengths and weaknesses are as an adult. I really thought I knew...lol!
Lately, I've come up with some pretty cool ideas and ways that I can enjoy my life while helping others enjoy theirs. I still have the acting bug and plan on fulfilling that desire, but there's something else pulling at me now, and I've got to explore it. So, that's part of it! How do you escape the race...the hole? You try out things you've never done before, go to places you've always wanted to go, explore different avenues, and your skills, your strengths and weaknesses will be made apparent. You'll find that you know yourself a lot better and even though it may take a while, you finally know where you can be your best you, where your skills can be best utilized, and how you can enjoy in its fullest capacity, the short time you have on this earth.
It's true.
