This is a topic that so many people have asked me to explain and to write about. There are people that float through life thus being gypsies. Well let me explain, I am a "Job Gypsy" I've had a interesting life and tried many things. Like a nomad I go from place to place searching for a career. I understand how it feels to long for something more. I have been many things, but around the same basis. I have been a Lobbyist, Health Care Trainer, Technology Trainer, Technical Writer, Vocational Teacher, and let me see what else... I know I am forgetting something but you understand. To settle is die and that is something I will not do. If 70% of my life is going to be spent somewhere, it is going to be somewhere I want to be.
I coined this phrase for me because it defines my life. I care more about the journey than the destination. Some people think I am a stange person, but staying somewhere that you miserable is strange to me. Every job that I've held was a contract position, so I understand what Americans are facing with the job market, but that does not scare me.
FYI: Did you know most of the first generation of American millionares came from the Great Depression?
I want to tell you there are more opporunities when things are negative. I ask what is it you want from life? What is life saying to you? You must be still and listen, but don't be afraid. You may wonder if I'm educated? Yes, I have a B.A. in Journalism and M.H.R in Human Relations and have been accepted into a Ph D program so yes I am intelligent, plus a homeowner, single mom and friend. How can I relate? Because I understand we each have obstacles and things we are facing but how will you whether this storm? I care about people not machines, which is why I quit my last job. I am here to help you take the journey into your heart and descend into world with a clear vision of your dreams.
Definition Time!
Definition of gypsy on the Web:
Itinerant: a laborer who moves from place to place as demanded by employment; "itinerant traders"
Definitions of job on the Web:
Occupation: the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money
a specific piece of work required to be done as a duty or for a specific fee
J.OB.= Just Over Broke...
That is how I define jobs because people are searching for something deeper. Something of substance a career. As we travel through life it is important to understand our path and our expected destination. These are questions that demand honest inventory.
Why are we, where we are?
What would we do for free?
What are your goals?
How do you feel about your job?
Do you believe that your passions can be a career?
These are very relevant questions. As the world continues to change we must understand our values and the happiness we desire. So many issues occur from unhappiness. Do I personally believe that you can live the life you desire? Yes, but are you willing to go after it? What is holding you back?
It is never to late to be someone, not just anyone but an authentic identity. Are you willing to spent over 2/3 's of your life somewhere with nothing to show for it? Are you willing to have courage and step out onto a new path? Only you can answer this question and only you can take the first step.
You must be in love with you life and if your not, make changes.
Their will never be a perfect time to be radical, so seize your moment.
BE BOLD,
Ms. Job Gypsy
