First off, I want to apologize for such a late follow up post on this matter. As you are probably aware, I started a new job as a Financial Planner. Fitting I know. Well, it turns out that if you work in the Financial Industry that you are regulated, in some respects, by the SEC. I did some research and it appears as though I am in the clear as long as I don’t charge you any money or try to solicit business from you. And that is perfectly OK with me. My goal is that you get something good out of reading this blog. That you take the principles that you find here, apply them to your life, and don’t settle for less.
On to the Topic at Hand
So is it all that it’s cracked up to be? Does working in a field that you enjoy really different? Well, do you want the simple answer? YES. I go to work and everyday I learn something new about an area I am genuinely interested in. Not only that, but I am surrounded by people that have similar interests and let me tell you, that makes for some real riveting conversations. For instance, today the financial implications of SB1070 was the topic of the office, but I wont get into that here.
It is Still Work
Don’t be fooled though, just because I am getting satisfaction out of what I do, it is still work. There are still things that are required of me that aren’t necessarily on my top 10 favorite things to do list, but I am alright with that. Everyone has to start somewhere. I feel blessed to be part of such a great organization and in an industry that desperately needs some common sense; and that is just what I am going to bring to the table.
What will you do?
Are you in a job that you dread going to? Do you want more out of life? Do you have a calling that you are putting off? Well, I am here to tell you to get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN! Pound the streets and get a job that you love. Start a business, go into the mission field, whatever you field called to do, just TAKE ACTION. Stop making excuses. And always remember, complaining is like a rocking chair, it will give you something to do but it won’t get you anywhere.
