Does Your Life Need a Makeover?

How many times have you said things like:

"This is NOT how I thought my life would turn out"
"My life is so boring"
"I feel stuck"
"I wish I could just start over"
"My job sucks!!"
"My life sucks!!
"Why does life always have to be a struggle?"
"If I only knew then what I know now"
"Is this all there is?"
"I want to do something FUN with my life"

It's NEVER Too Late to Change

We all start out as a beautiful blank canvas. When we are born, we become a beautiful painting.

Through the years, that painting gets dusty from all of the little negative things that we are told. No - don't do that - stop it - children are to be seen and not heard - don't go near that. These things make our beautiful painting dusty.

Sometimes of us are abused or neglected and that throws mud on our beautiful painting.

Sometimes we get pushed aside like being put up in the attic. That puts cobwebs all over our beautiful painting.

During our adolescent years, most of us knew what we wanted to be when we grew up. In my case, it was a teacher. However, when I graduated high school, I was told that teachers don't make much money. You shouldn't be a teacher. So I gave up my dream of being a teacher. Instead, I decided to not go to college and "live". I did just that. I would take a job and work for a while and then party for a few weeks.

I've done a lot over the years. I've been everything from a secretary to a waitress to gas station attendant to administrative assistant for company presidents to business owner. But never the teacher that I wanted to be.

Recently, I learned a technique to figure out what I truly want to do with my life.

During that process, I recalled my 7th grade science teacher telling me "Roxanne - you are a natural leader. Many people are considered leaders, but there aren't a lot of people who have that natural ability."

WOW - I had forgotten those words as I grew up, graduated and "got on with life". However, over the years, those words came back to me many times from many different places. But I never considered myself a leader. I do now. The past few years, life has put me in the position to be that leader and I LOVE it!!

I thrive when I am teaching others. I thrive when I am in a group being social. I thrive when I am helping people "get it".

When I was going to college (at 24 years old), I would take accounting classes in the morning and tutor other students in the afternoon based on what I had learned that morning. This did two things for me. It gave me personal satisfaction from helping others and it helped cement in my mind what I had learned.

As I walked through the steps to reconnect with my true passion in life, I remembered all of these things. I remembered the feelings that I got when I was in that "natural born leader" role. Too many people think being a leader is about being in control and being the boss. That is NOT a leader. A leader is one who can help bring out the best in others and takes pride in helping someone do a better job at whatever they are doing. A leader is a teacher. A leader has the best interests of the people they are leading at heart.
