For the past few years, I always thought if nothing was going your way, it was because you weren’t trying hard enough. That still has some accuracy. But it never occurred to me that maybe some things just aren’t for you and that’s God’s way of telling you no. The thought sitting in the back of my head always scared me. Yes, my professional is very exciting, but sometimes if you sit in one area for too long it can be very boring. Meaning that it would be time for a change. With job applications pending, my light bulb of hope if beginning to flicker in and out. With my dream EMT job now full, the feeling of defeat keeps echoing in my head.
Wanting to drown it out, I currently have indeed.com in my favorites list. Not saying I’m not happy where I am. but gosh do I want to spread my wings into more experience. Thinking about my other goals in life I noticed something. For the next 4 years, I will be picking a career that I would have to love for the next 50 years. Thank God medicine is forever growing right?! but what about writing and creating?
Creating content has been something I have always loved but have never considered to be something I thought that I could do along with medicine. That’s where Youtube was my Godsend message. That and Hulu. While watching the more than amazing tv show Bones it hit me, I could have the best of both worlds. The science geek meeting the creative mind. Bones was a best selling author and a textbook. Very smart, but also had a dreamers mind though she hated to admit it. Why can’t that be me? A writer with a scalpel! A content creator that knows how to do a fast and focus assessment. I can dig it!!
Reorganizing my priorities I’ve moved writing up right next to medicine, and I couldn’t be more excited. Taking a leap of faith, my amazon order lists now says a tripod, and a softbox kit for filming. On computer my tabs, my first draft of my book in progress. I’ve always dreamed of seeing my work on display and getting peoples feedback. Providing others with a world that they could escape to when a long day has come to an end. Giving others at least half the feeling that J.R.R. Tolkien has given me between the lines of his works.
Yeah, that is a leap of faith. But who knows, God works in mysterious ways. Sometimes what we think is not really how things are meant to be, turns out being just how it is supposed to be.
