I fear today’s blog may be a little self indulgent but I also fear that if I don’t share personal stories, others find it challenging to relate.
So in the interests of relating and hoping to help, I’ll indulge 😉
You may remember last week I spoke of the fear showing up for me when taking on board a new part time contract role. I was gravely concerned about what I’d be giving up in my business as a result of making this choice.
But do you know why it’s been soooo good for me to dabble back in that space, to dabble back in dealing with the corporate world? Because it’s helping me realise that I have actually changed over the past four years. This journey is actually providing me with some good, ol’ fashioned, concrete evidence that that girl that I was four years ago has certainly made some adjustments and parts of her have disappeared!
You see, when I was in corporate I wouldn’t question. I would just do what I was told.
When I was in corporate, I wouldn’t speak up or offer my opinion. I would hold my thoughts in, way down deep, thinking they were invalid or unimportant.
When I was in corporate, I wouldn’t dare float an idea or put my hand up to be part of creating something new. I would just assume that I wasn’t allowed or able to participate.
When I was in corporate, calm would elude me and the next task would overwhelm me.
When I was in corporate, I never said no.
Wanna know what I do now?
None of that.
I just needed the test. The test to see if the hard work has been paying off.
And it is.
And yours will too.
With love
Lynda
