I'm Home

I'm home. Sigh. I love it. Well not that much.
Anywho so for CALM we have to conduct a career interview and it just makes me laugh. I wish to share with you my findings but won't tell you who this person is or anything. Just my questions and the answers I have from them so far. Actors understand. *Trues to wink and fails*

1) Besides schooled education what did you do to prepare yourself for your future?
1/ I prepared for the future by living life.... by experiencing whatever I could.... by taking chances.... by not knowing any better. I would take on challenges and then figure out how to do them. As an example, my first basement renovation I did? I went to the library and got a book on carpentry, put it in my toolbox and did the renovation.... the customer never knew. The job turned out great and I continued the renovation business "*You think I'd actually tell you?*" for 24 years.

2) What did you do after high school to further your education? Are you where you imagined you would be?
I went to University for three years.... didn't finish.... for me I need a why to have a will. I remember those days, it was like I was running a race with no finish line. I was running my business, going to school, playing in a band, girlfriend, sports..... after a few years all that was left was the business. As for what I imagined and where I am?.... Not really. In some regards I never really imagined a future. I just got caught up in what my parents wanted and what sounded good... you know "Wife, kids, be a Doctor, lawyer". I never really set out a clear plan, that was the problem. After that I took a lot of courses, and still do to this day, I love learning.

3) If you could do things all over again, would you choose the same path for yourself? Why?
No, I would change things. I would be much less "liaise faire" with my life. I would have followed my passions and dreams and trusted that I could never fail if I did that. As I said before for me "The why is the will" I admire people who can just do something they hate because they are simply told to or because they should or have nothing better to do. I don't know if I answered the question. I would have been more pro-active in my life. Trusted my feelings and tempered what others wanted for me, all good intentions I might add.

4) Who do you feel you got the most out of as a mentor? Any useful tips you’d like to pass on?
There are many people who have touched my life: parents, family, family friends, friends, clients, teachers....etc. I don't know if I can say I have ever had a true mentor, by definition.... I guess I would say my father is my mentor. As for tips?? Live with passion, follow dreams, believe..... believe in yourself..... but (there is always a but) Plan a life, then live your plan.... with passion. I have some more "tips" coming up. I get a little carried away on questions 6 and 8. (Disclaimer! This is just my rant about life. I would advise talking to parents or counselors for advice...lol)

Is it sad that I understand this nonsense and can relate... No not really, it just means I kinda know what I'm doing but really I'm just the driver and so far its been a fun ride. I should really sleep soon, I feel frustrated and antsy, which has never lead to anything good in my case. Also my eyeballs really itchy today, not cool. Oh and I can't find my blistex so remind me to buy some tomorrow.
Till our next special time together,
Love,
Don't ever change the way you are, I've never loved anyone more.
