It may sound funny to say I am thankful for a job I left a year and a half ago but I am. I was hired as an intern with dreams of continuing school and one day having my own Psychology office. However, I quickly learned that working in the field of Psychology was no longer a passion I had. I stayed for there for 5 years longer than I ever intended but with those five years I learned many things.
I am a morning person. I am much more productive before noon than I am any other time of the day.
If I had not enjoyed the internship as much as I did, and then given the opportunity to become an employee, I probably would not have met my now husband.
I am a hard worker.
Coworkers can become some of your best friends and even family.
How to be compassionate even if I don't understand.
I am in more control of my emotions than I ever thought.
Wine does in fact make a rough day so much better.
The field of psychology is not for me.
And staying in a job just because you think there is no where else for you to go is not worth sacrificing your happiness for.
What opportunities are you grateful for?
until next time
I think this is a great outlook. I agree with you, staying in a job because you feel you have no other options is definitely NOT worth it.
ReplyDeleteI have had many opportunities in my life that I am thankful for. I have been in the Medical field for 7 years and I am glad I never went to nursing school or any direct patient care training programs. I have zero desire. I am a much better advocate and am glad that is where I found my calling!
Great post!
