I cant write a book... so I'll write a blog :)

A friend said to me today that I am luck to know what I want to do in my career and be able to work towards it. I then asked him what he wants’ to do and he stated despairingly he wants to be a cook. I asked him what’s stopping you his response was one word; everything. I could not help but to think of what I believe in, that the only really thing that’s stopping you is the person you see in the mirror. I told him to take a first step by cooking dinner three times a week to at the least get used to working in the kitchen. Being able to go after what you want starts with a small first step and that step only takes you closer to where you want to be. First you have to be aware of what you want to do no matter how impossible or insignificant it may seem. To you this is important and you have to be the person to initiate the first step in the right direction. If you want it you can’t wait for the right time, amount of money, or for it to work it self out. You have to just take the first small step at any time because no time is better then now! Well that’s what I know & now it’s out there :)

One of the biggest things I live by is what I like to call the puzzle piece theory. A few years ago I was in the middle of two friends in a fight which as you know rarely happens. At the time I kept going back and forth trying to hear out both sides while at the same time feeling torn as to what or who to believe. After hearing both people on several separate occasions one random day I felt like cartoon character with a light turn on above their head. It accord to me that there is no right or wrong and no side to be on there is only two sides of a story with many pieces to it. Like a puzzle, realizing there is no side to be on in the situation there is just different people with unique points of views. Each and every person involved has their own different and unique piece or pieces. When these pieces are put together it creates a clear picture to solve. If the two or more people could put the anger aside and sit down to talk they would see the whole picture and fix the problem. Well that’s what I know & now it’s out there :)

I was talking to one of my friends today and he feels lost as to what he wants to do in life. I have been there and in some way I am still there and we will all always be there. There is no way to say you wont change and want to do something different in the future. But that’s not what I wanted to talk about. I want to talk about how you find what you want to do so you don’t feel lost by just finding your inner talent. I think it’s a matter of knowing what your great at and passionate about. We all have a talent some maybe more visible for example a singer, they clearly are born with a talent of singing. There are many talents outside of the obvious that you have to look with in you to find what you want to do. This takes some soul searching which may be just paying attention to what makes you smile or thinking about your childhood and what you were good at then. A caring person may become a Dr. or a social worker. An outgoing & inspired person may become a public speaker or go into politics. A person who loves music may become A&R or tour manager. Well that’s it that’s my first blog! We all know what we want to do because it’s our inner talent we just have to be open enough to be able to see it. Well that’s what I know & while no one may read this at least now it’s out there :)
