Sizzle Says

I did not miss work.

It’s 7:00am on the day I am returning after two weeks off and I can say, unequivocally, I didn’t miss work. Not one bit. While I am grateful I have a job, these two weeks away from the daily grind have made the proverbial pebble in my shoe feel like a boulder.

I believe it is high time to start seriously brainstorming about my greater purpose. The time has come to think big and get resourceful. I wonder what will be next for me? I hope it will include the following:

1. Lucrative (No more paycheck to paycheck living.) (I was told that I need to speak in the positive so I’m crossing the negatives out. Thanks Princess!)
   
2. Challenges and utilizes my unique skill set (I excel at managing people and really should be in charge of more than just volunteers.)
3. Flexible schedule and relatively easy commute (Excessive overtime not required nor an hour to travel to and from home to get there. I like to have a life outside of my job.)
4. Comprehensive benefits (That include holistic health practices and therapy, vision and dental and hopefully a 401K program that actually makes my money work for me.)
5. Balanced gender mix of (nice) coworkers (I work in a predominantly female environment and while I love my lady friends, my single lady friends would like to meet some eligible bachelors. I could help!)

Hmmm. . .What should I be when I grow up? Has anyone made a pretty drastic career change (like from the non-profit sector to the for-profit sector or from one line of work to another) before? Any tips on how to do this?

More importantly, are you in a job/line of work that you feel fulfilled in? Yes or No? And if no, what do you wish you were doing?

Let’s dream big together!

Working in a job that you do not enjoy can canker your positive outlook on life.
