Brenda Ruth's Memoirs'

Do you get to a certain point in life where you are just tired of doing the same thing over and over again? I do.

It could be a job, a location or even a habit/behavior we are wanting to change of ourselves.

The point is we get so comfortable we got stuck. Why change? Everything is going so well?!

Then when you really do want to change the overwhelming feeling of Where do I start?

Well, I can only share my experience and you start with where you are!

Change is suppose to be uncomfortable.

It gets to a point though what you are doing no longer serves your higher-self.

Two examples come to mind where I outgrew my employment. One was working at a hotel the other was at a law firm.

One I was given an ultimatum to choose between one job or another. I chose the other. And the other job I was let go. To my surprise with this, is after a few days I wanted to send them a thank you card!

Point being is I stayed to long. I didn’t make changes and the latter situation the universe did it for me.

Do we really want to get to that point though? Maybe not! Again life experience taught me to start focusing on what you do want instead of what you don’t.

I know my mind frame is I do need income to support myself and my family! Absolutely true for all of us!

So How do we get started when there is so many ideas? You pick one. It doesn’t matter which one the key is to Act upon it! For me taking care of my health and starting to explore things that are fulfilling to me is a step in the right direction.

I had someone ask me bluntly if I will ever join the work force again?

My reply, “Maybe if I choose to.” Taking care of family and homeschooling my daughter is a full time job already.

I also debate if I would go back to just a “job”. I am at a place where giving my time is not to be taken for granted. It has to have value and purpose.

I may just have to create my own unique role. Hence for me getting out of my comfort zone to write publicly is a stepping stone.

What is your next stepping stone?

Thank you for reading my friends.
