Eliminating the Boulder......

So, since the beginning of my journey in December, I have had issues with how much my profession of being an Assistant Manager for a Photography company really was helping anyone. Was it helping society? Not really because it was tourist photography which in all honesty postpones people from seeing their main goal of the show at hand. Was it helping my family? No, because I always had to work holidays and I rarely was completely able to relax the few moments I did get to see the ones I really care about. Was it really even helping me? The sad thing is it paid my bills, but ever so slightly. So as the spring dragged on it made more and more sense that it really didnt help anyone other than the people 2000 miles away make a lot more money by me being so dedicated. The only thing that made this even an argument was the people I worked with that I saw day to day. However, throughout April it made more and more sense what I really had to do, which was to move on and start something new. So on the last day of the month, I finally put a month notice ih. And even though that month was one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do, its been so worth it less than a week after vacating my position. I now have a job that I know ultimately can help a lot of people and gives me the possibility of making a lot more money myself in the process.I am now a Fitness Consultant for the local gym in my local area. This current weekend has been the first one Ive had off in years. I actually got to see my family without the worry of getting any type of work call. Is this a total win, I dont know. The catch is now it does depend on my effort on the job because the initial pay is about half of what I made. However, its a quarter of the responsibility to anyone but myself. And it was a wonderful feeling when I signed up my first member Friday evening. My only regret is leaving the people behind that I was blessed to be friends with during my tenure at my previous place, but it is already obvious I shall continue to see the people I care about outside of work which gives better opportunities to grow as people. So in all of this, I feel good about the decision and will keep things updated on how this area of my life continues to unravel.....
