The Broom

I have been going to a career counselor for the past three weeks now to help me figure out what it is that I want to do and what I am passionate about so I can avoid going through life, hopping from job to job, not being satisfied in my job or career. In today's session she asked me to visualize myself with a broom and needing to sweep away all the distractions and opinions from those that tend to bring me down.
She was referring to my parents mainly and my own hesitations of pursuing personal training or some sort of job avenue with personal training. I am slowly getting there, seeing myself doing this and believing in what everybody else seems to see. It has lifted my spirits tremendously and amazed me too at how much support, praise and encouragement I have been receiving to pursue this. People that I never thought would be so encouraging have been and those that have known me for awhile have reinforced their belief in me that I have what it takes.
The thing is, I am confident in me. I am confident in Brittney. I know I have a lot to offer, but at times with what I know I have to offer, I can be gun shy. My spontaneous nature or thrill seeking side is overshadowed by my cautious, security seeking side. But when I think about the could-bes, or envision the possibilities with how God could use me through this, I get excited. I light up inside. It thrills me to think that I could do this and not only love it, but be helping others and encouraging others to be their best selves. Who knows how this will all come together. But I am getting closer to taking charge and just going for it. Thank you to all of you that have been my cheerleaders and support team. I am truly blessed!
