I sat here looking at a blank screen for a while trying to figure out how to start this post lol. It happens sometimes when you feel a little stuck on how to start. I've been adjusting a lot to my new position and duties at work. I love being closer to home and saving money traveling in state. I can now be home to do homework and have dinner with my family. I can also cook dinner if I want. I'm just so thankful that worked really hard to get into this position and didn't give up. I wanted more of a challenge and wanted something different. I have been really focused on learning this position, asking a lot of questions, making sure I understand everything and so on. When I first started, I kind of knew about the position from my previous position and knew what I was about to step into. I had people tell me about the position and how it can be and wanted to make sure I could handle it. I know people meant well but once someone doubts I can do something, I feel like I need to prove people wrong. I know my abilities and what I'm capable of, if I know I can do it, I'm going to show you. I'll admit it was a bit overwhelming at first because of all the information I had to know, things I had to remember, important reports and know how to juggle my responsibilities and time. I'm pretty much use to that type of environment from previous positions that I have held. As I started to do work on my own, I started to feel more confident and stopped second guessing myself. I have support when I need it and I'm grateful for that. I know you have heard that quote that if your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough. When I got this promotion, it scared me at first. It scared me that I actually made something happen, I got to move up, I stayed patient and it paid off. Then I started to wonder if I could really do this, would I be good and it hit me that things were going to be fine, I asked for this and HE would not give me anything I was not ready for. I'm glad it scared me and made me uncomfortable because it is forcing me to step up and show them that they made the right choice. So far, I'm doing well and getting a lot of positive feedback. It feels good that I am excelling so far and I love it. I am just so grateful for the opportunity.
I hope you guys have a great weekend and see you Tuesday!!
