We are all to often caught up in our daily routine to take the time to slow down and breathe in the world. To really look at it. To smell it. To connect with it. There are schedules to keep, bills to pay, kids to feed, and the ever present drive to be successful.
What happens after you get there? When you have finally passed all of the lower levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The final step, self actualization. To pursue your inner talent and creativity.
I made a valiant effort to fulfill this final step while working in corporate America. I worked on projects of all shapes and sizes. Humanitarian missions to help the community and training seminars to inspire others to succeed. You name it. I tried it. All to often volunteering for anything that seemed like a new challenge and inspired me
I have been working for a fantastic company with a boss that I love. Our friendship has been ten years of blood, sweat, and tears. "Like" just doesn't cut it after working together that long. She gets the credit for helping me become the person that I am today by always believing in me.
Two weeks ago I gave her my notice. Today is my last day. It has been a tear filled goodbye, but my resolve is cemented. I have made that final decision. My path has irreversibly shifted. I have been in the driver's seat for to long. It is time for me to pull over and get out of the car. Stretch my legs. Maybe smell a wild flower or two. It is time for a new journey.
