What Does The Future Hold?

So its the day after Christmas and I am trying to relax today. But I am thinking about what the future holds for me and my family. I mean I am currently working full time at a job. But that’s just it, its a job. The duties and requirements are easy, but the problem is the people and the management. The management does not know what the heck they are doing, which makes it a stressful place to be. The other problem is that they do not care about the people that work there and do all the work. They have no emotions or understanding for others. If I say to them that my kid is sick, why do I need to tell them exactly what is wrong with my child. He/she is sick.

Know one really knows what the Future Holds

I always hear people say that they are stuck in a job that they don’t like and they have no way to change that. I never thought that I was one of those people. I always felt like I have an option or that I would be able to change my situation if things got too crazy. But for some reason this job is changing me. I use to go to work with a smile on my face and leave with a smile. Now when I turn the street to the building my stomach does flips and flops. When I see my manager I just want to erase his image from my mind. Like I said the job is not the issue, its the people. So what do I do to change things?

I better myself. I change the situation by moving on from it. My passion has always been real estate, but of course that takes time and money to really get off the ground. I have been putting it off too long. This year I am committed to changing things for me and my family. Not only do I want better for my family, but I want much better for MYSELF.

So my husband is a part of the Empower Network. He has been telling me about how great the Empower Network is and what it can do for us. He is trying to get me to fully understand and utilize the Empower Network in order to change our situation and make our life better. What does the future hold? So I am going to use my last two weeks at this “JOB” to open a door. The door that I am opening is going to be the pathway to my next steps in life. About three years ago, I wrote a 5 year plan. It included owning a house, finishing school, starting a business and expanding my business, and 2 more items (which I can’t remember). I was able to cross off one of those things, but due to difficult circumstances, I had to re-list it. SO the list is still pretty much untouched. So back to the drawing board for my 5 year plan.

So what does the future hold?

I am going to take the year 2012 to reinvent myself, my goals and complete my 5 year plan. I am going to take the time to put my goals and passion first. Although I am scared and would rather have a paycheck coming in, I have to know that there’s more out there for me. I have to know that there is a better option out there. I have to know that I have control over my goals, dreams, my finances, my family and my FUTURE..

So what does the future hold? Stay tuned….
