I Got a Job After being Self-Employed for Nine Months.
I started a new job on Monday and I’m feeling an array of emotions. A part of me is happy to have a steady stream of income, while another part is dreading working to make someone else rich(er).
I accepted that I needed a job three months ago and it was a tough pill to swallow because I quit my full-time job in February to pursue content-creating, traveling full-time and try my hand at farming. And being that:
I didn’t succeed at cultivating a steady income within the past nine months.
I haven’t traveled within the past three months.
Farming isn’t something that I wish to delve into full-time…
Clouds stuffed with hail loomed over me, releasing their baggage, forcing me to stop and evaluate my decisions, life, and long-term goals.
During the past three months, I realized that buying land and converting a van into a tiny home are my top priorities because after my travels, I wish to go home, not to a house. So, I shifted my focus from traveling, to looking for a job to save in hopes of a better life. And I had a few key requirements for my next job, the main one being that it was fully remote. And I’m happy to say that the universe came through for me and granted this wish. So while I am not 100% happy to be working again, I am content in my remote position that will sustain me until my business launches and takes off.
So, yes, I got a job.
No, I am not a failure.
No, I am not done with content creating and trying to establish a steady income off of my talents.
Many people seldom believe in themselves to make a drastic change in their lives and I did, and still am. It might take me a few tries, but I will never give up on myself and my goals… and neither should you.
We only have one life to live, do what makes you happy, and always bet on yourself.
