You are in control of your life and career

​I was sitting in a lobby and waiting for someone. Not too far away, there were two persons 🧔 🧑 in an intensive dialogue. At least, it seemed that way to me, from what I could read on the face of the younger man.

'As a curious person, I've experienced and explored 🎈 diverse industries and learned who I am. Step by step, I had the feeling that I was getting closer to what I really wanted to do. I appreciate the fact that I had the courage to move on when something didn't feel right or meet my expectations.'

As he was speaking, I could observe how the facial expression of the other man was changing. Something must have irritated him. He asked the younger man, 'So, what do you mean you've learned a lot? You need to stick to one job for a long time to learn something.' The shoulders of the younger man drooped 😓.

Without really knowing what the relationship between them was, I was shocked at how someone's dreams were smashed in front of my eyes. If I could, I really wanted to interrupt the conversation. I didn't get the chance, however I wished for the younger man not to give up 💪 on his visions.

If you are experiencing a similar situation, remember that YOU are in control🎡of your life and career. Everybody goes on a unique path and no two people experience the same situation in the same way.
