It’s been a week since I last wrote anything, which is not to say I haven’t had stuff to write but my focus was on one of the most important lessons we can learn in life - FOLLOW YOUR HEART!!

This is not about relationships although that is an important lesson there too. Instead this has to do with other life choices, like career. Last week was my last week at work. I had already decided that what I was doing was not the right path for me. This left me feeling a little lost and I went through a hard time trying to make that decision. I felt like I should already know what my purpose in life is, but I still didn’t know what I wanted to be when I “grow up”.

Part of this process included personality testing, interest profiling and career counselling. I still didn’t have a direction but I knew I should be doing something more creative. I also knew that my currents hobbies (pan, photography) were the right ones for me.

An opportunity presented itself last week, that would see me leaving Ja. for a short period of time to do some further studies, in a completely different field. This worried me a bit but I received lots of support from friends, family and trusted advisors. They helped me to accept what my heart was saying. I feel really good about this decision to go, even with the dissenting voices of a few. I know I need to do what is right for me, I need to find what it is that will make me happy.
