There are mainly two types of people in this world.
The Fearful
The Fearless
Who are you?
How do you make decisions?
Are you a thrill seeker?
How do you plan?
What do you do in your free time?
There was a point in this journey where I was ridden with anxiety. This weight was debilitating.
One day, I thought, what are my options?
I begin a list on my phone.
A. Work part-time for multiple organizations.
B. Work full-time for one organization.
C., D., E., F., G., H., I...
A is the top option. The option I want.
And I am currently on track for that to be the permanent option. Two are already lined up.
Creativity is like God.
Anxiety is the opposite.
By no means am I perfect. I still have moments but, I have options.
If you are curious, the list is of options before my children and I are homeless.
If you want to judge, let me set it up for you. I was one year into my widowhood. I had lost the job I had for 12 years. I had no clue how I was going to manage this life without my salary or benefits. My benefits were terrible. I had just been programmed to believe in order for me to be successful I needed to have certain things.
Shortly after 7 months of running from the pain of my new narrative, I decided to heal and from it, I had an opportunity to build my list and my confidence.
And I am so excited about this next part.
I will always resort to I hate that this is my narrative and would always choose my husband's life over this narrative.
But this next part, the one that happens in five years, lol. I am building it now. I hope I can make it happen before five years but that is when I am a free agent. That part, I am excited about.
I will add that this part does not necessarily include a man. I wish it did but I am finding that one has flow while the other does not.
Which one are you?
