Discovering Who You Are ?!

Starting my career at 17 years old was not my choice but rather God's plan for me to start differently. I am grateful and proud of the person I have become today, and I am eternally grateful to all the wonderful people I have met along the way.

After more than ten years of hard work and education, I have decided to take a break and devote more time to discovering who I am and what I truly want in life. It is my choice this time and God's plan for me to Change?

My sincere gratitude goes out to my ex-employer and colleagues, who without them I would not be here today and who I will always be missing.

Flipping the Dice :)

When you don't have another job in hand, leaving a job can be difficult, but trust me, leaving a job and a promotion in hand and without another job could seem even more challenging.

Making a life decision in spite of what others may say or advise, regardless of the financial difficulties you may encounter, regardless of the high level of uncertainty or anxiety you may feel? Can be a difficult thing to do ? The more familiar you become with yourself and what you want in life, the easier it will be to make all these hard decisions, now and in the future. Taking a decision may be easier than thinking about the consequences, knowing that the decision you might take can be the smartest or the dumbest one, in either case, you must be prepared to accept the consequences regardless of the decision you make.

Be patient with the process of change, acknowledge your own needs and who you are, and work harder towards what you truly desire. I know that might be really difficult especially that you might not know exactly what you desire , or you might know what you desire but you believe you may never attain it ? "What is your truly passion?"

In my opinion, your greatest enemy in this process is YOU?

It is our perception of ourselves that influences our actions every day, so we should never underestimate the power of our thoughts. In other words, if you always speak negatively about yourself, you drain yourself of positive energy and attract only negative energy towards you?

Maximizing your capabilities requires that you acknowledge what you are capable of (what you can do and what you cannot) and work towards optimizing what you can. Break the pattern of negative thinking in order to change your mindset.

My personal experience is that, when confronted with a difficult or negative situation , I enroll on a training courses so, bad situation vs training course . When I experience a difficult event, I do not allow myself to dwelt. Instead, and I try to change my behavior by learning more about what I cannot accomplish. However, this may not apply to everyone. Some people may prefer to travel or participate in sports, for example.

At the end of the day, the more you know yourself the better you will develop a mentality that will help you overcome challenges and negative thoughts. The method you use doesn't matter as long as you achieve your optimal goal, which is to remain focused on what you truly wish to achieve.

During my journey to balance it all and trust the process, I visualized my dream, so every-time I close my eyes I visualize who I want to become, then I think about the smallest actions I might be able to take to move towards my dream, trying to master "The law of attraction" then I eliminate all the factor that might block my way ( bad thoughts , acknowledging my cababilites ).The way through the challenge is to ask my self what is the Next right move ? have faith in god , listen carefully and wait until all the pieces of the puzzle are complete.

My puzzle is still in progress. It is my belief that the changes I am experiencing now will lead to a great outcome. With that feeling, I fuel myself every day to ensure that I do not lose motivation towards my dreams. This is the same fuel that motivated me to write this article today.

lastly , The purpose of this newsletter is to share with you my journey towards discovering who I am and what I want. If you follow me on Linkedin, you will hopefully know where I will end up.

Throughout the week I will try to publish a story about my past or current experiences and how these events have provided more clarity to my journey.

It is my goal to convey to at least one person that they are not alone, we are all facing and experiencing many challenges in life towards the goal of "fulfilling the highest truest expression of ourselves" Opera Winfrey.
