My view on what the future of work means to me leaves me in a weird state of absolutely not knowing what I want to do in the future

Keywords: {0}

This not knowing of what I want to do in the future has led me to make more goals within the jobs and companies which I hold compared to full career aspirations for example, moving from team member to team leader in my retail position. Currently I work at a call centre for a major drinks provider where I am involved in the complaints side customers when they have issues with our poducts, machines and deliveries however im already looking upward to moving into a sales representative position.

Most of my celebrations for meeting my goals would revolve around this project, this dream, this little fantasy I had of hosting a podcast

This means I have to learn how to ask. Ask people to share. Ask people to subscribe. Ask people to rate and leave reviews. This, for introverted me, is the stuff of nightmares, even if it is only a virtual ask, with the internet as a buffer between me and my perceived judgment from others. But, just like learning to set boundaries, which was something I learned to do in 2021, this will be critical to growth in 2022.

I want to be a successful businesswoman

Keywords: {0}

It takes a lot of hard work to become a successful business girl. If I want to be a successful businesswoman, I’ll have to do a lot of work without complaining. I must also put in a lot of effort without taking any steps back. If I take steps back, I will not be able to achieve my objectives. Working hard is thus the key to the success of any endeavor. There is nothing in life without hard work. Because if we work hard, no one can stop us from achieving our goals.

I have professional goals I want to meet, and in order to do so, I need to put myself out there a bit more

Keywords: {0}

This terrifies me, as I am a private person, and have not been a real big-risk taker in my life up to this point. But I have realized I want to move forward in my life and reach some of my dreams, and make room for new ones. I don’t want to have lived my full life and have the nagging thought ‘if only I’d…’. The idea of putting something out on the internet has the feeling of a lot of permanency behind it, and there is the part of me that wonders if anything I have to say is important enough to put out there. It may not be to most, but may be meaningful to some/one.

Whenever I want something, the unspoken assumption is that once I get this thing, life will be better, my nagging desire will finally cease

It dawned on me this morning that wanting is part of what it means to be alive. Even though we may reach our goals or obtain whatever it is we desire, that wanting is not going to go away. There will always be something else to fixate on. We are all going through life chasing a moving target. At first this can seem rather depressing. Will we never truly reach happiness then?

I came to a realization that for the past year or so, I had been living in the imagination of where I wanted to be, I almost let go of where I was

Keywords: {0}

Thoughts of my life and where I was imagining it in the next five years took away the reality of everyday, and it became so tiring. It robbed me of the joys of today, and I am sincerely tired of it. I want to experience life now, while patiently and calmly waiting for tomorrow with beautiful expectation.

To get specifically into what it is that I want is a tough process

How much money is enough to help me have a good life without getting to the point where I am always concerned with money? What does a fulfilling career even mean? Does that mean I work for a non-profit? Do I open my own business? What is fulfillment. Why do I want to travel? Is it to show pictures to everyone else to show how cool I am? Or is it for my own experience.
