Passion = Risks
I was just sitting in a lunch time meeting with a room full of women discussing how we can enpower ourselves within the firm and enrich our careers as women in a man driven society. As I'm listening I explicitly realize that I am in the wrong place. I work at an architecture firm and this is not the career for me. As we were talking the ability to take risks came up. I instantly knew that me sitting in that room was a prime example of me playing it safe. I'm shaking my head and nodding my assent when I'm not even taking the risks that truly will mean something to me and in my career and happiness. I made a decision that I would make a risk today. (No, not quit my job -not yet anyway)but I am signing up for something I feel will be integral in memoving towards my goal and finally switching careers that until today I've put off with the excuse about the money involved. If I'm being honest with myself this is a small risk in comparison to so much that I am capable of. The fact is, I am passionate about reading, writing, and editing even if I'm not the best at just yet -those things are who I am and from now on risk is word that I will not associate with fear.
