The Challenge






Today I was challenged.  The above command was harder than I thought it would be. I've been thinking about it all day.  I've been struggling with this question for years.  If I were to leave my job: Where would I go? What would I do?  What do I want to do?  Most of the time I get stuck there.

Being honest about things I would want to do can be embarrassing.  Some things that I think I would love to do, I have no talent for, whatsoever.  Some things are beyond reality.  I want to work for a baseball team.  I want to own a restaurant. I want to be a professional photographer.  I want to be a band manager.  I'm not qualified for most of these things.

So, the key word here is "possible".  I will try not to sell myself short.  I tend to be pretty amazing. However, I may lack some motivation at times.  Okay, maybe motivation isn't the right term.  Direction is maybe more correct.  I tend to have the inability to dream.  I'm not talking about what you do while you're asleep (although, I don't do that too often either).  I'm talking about life changing goals.  I have a hard time seeing what could be, instead of what is.

Alright, 3 Possible Ultimate Dream jobs.
1. Be a key figure in a Non-profit
2. Accountant/Planner at a Brewery.
3. TBD... I'll get back to you...
