I was walking through the office the other day when I realized something; I am so comfortable here it feels like a home away from home. This is important as it serves as a confirmation that I am where I am supposed to be right now.
I have a habit of constantly wondering if I’ve made the right decisions in my life. Examples like: Should I ever have left the hotel business? Looking back, I can now tell you that they were grooming me for a great career there. Should I have left City of Dunwoody? I had managed to build a reputation as a respected and dependable employee in an office full of confusion. Should I have gone to work for an event coordinator, or moved my hotel career in that direction? Honestly, I think the answer to this final question is yes, I should have looked past the working on weekends and saw the potential I was giving up here; however, I cannot regret this now! At least I have figured this out now, and am working to start my own event coordinating company. But I digress…
My point is, God has led me to the path that I am on, and I know it is for a reason. I felt this confirmation the other day as I was walking the halls of my office and just felt like I was walking the halls of my house. Honestly, this office feels a bit more like home than anywhere right now. I have worked in this building longer than I’ve lived in my home and I have divorced parents, which means neither house (even the one I grew up in) feels like my home anymore. I don’t say this for a pity party; I really am just trying to make my point.
I know that I am supposed to be here right now, I know that I have a job that I enjoy and serves me well. I am blessed to have a job where I feel like I’m coming to an extension of my house for the day, the people are kind, and the work is something to be proud of. I feel accomplished when I walk out of the office at night and that is important.
I don’t feel the need to leave this comfort zone right now, I feel like I’ve got a lot left to learn here, however, I am torn. I know that this is not my career. I walk in this building an I feel like I’m stepping into my little bubble, I can stay here and maintain a mediocre level of happiness with my job for a long time, however, I know that there are larger things happening in my life as well, I know I have greater potential than to be an assistant, and I know that the fear of leaving my bubble is standing in my way…
