Hi Gorgeous,
One subject that is very close to my heart is the idea of giving up the "security" of the 9 to 5 to pursue your dreams.
When we take time to anlayse this question, how secure is my 9 to 5? and what am I giving up when I cling to that so called security?
Working a full time corporate role didn’t gel with me, it just didn’t feel right. It felt so very restrictive. I was desperate to expand and express, to contribute and working in that confined space just tied my wings and made me feel pretty miserable. I’m sure many of you can relate.
One of the key things for me was the lack of creative contribution I felt. After being in a role for 2 years or more you are pretty much an expert in what you do every day. But then when you feel as if your voice is not heard, it is frustrating. Or even when it is heard you wonder what you are really contributing to, because this is not your dream.
Another thing that really got to me was all the rules and corporate procedures that had to be followed. I’m not saying I can’t follow rules, but they often felt so unnecessary, and like being a cog in a machine, just mindlessly following the process. I remember having a feeling of emptiness, and thinking this is not what I have been put on this earth for.
