A new door is needed to be opened...

I know what my livelihood needs to be, I know what I am good at, what I thrive in. Yet, I also know what I struggle with the most.

I am a teacher, a helper, a friend. I inspire, I advise, I guide. (And I really am damn good at it) Maybe not because I have this dire need to change the world, but rather because I yearn to open people's eyes up to their ability to be better, to achieve their goals. Not even for the sake of the world, but for themselves. (i never felt an affinity to the "I wanna save the world" thing)(but a person...sure.)

I do love my job. I love my clients, I love the knowledge I have gained and the knowledge I have yet to gain. I love the impact I directly see I am making, and the relationships I have built..

but.. (yes there is always a but) outside of my clients and classes, I suffer from an idle, insanely bored, complacent mind. This place holds no more new experiences for me, now its completely routine, completely expected. But there is a good side to that, I have become efficient at my work with my clients . Because now "I know the answer to that question!!" No more looking all confused in front of clients, rather I now personify the down to earth professional friend they have been yearning to confide their most puzzling questions and insecure doubts.

But ...(yup, again) Im 24 and this place offers no ascension. No excitement. Nothing to fight for.

Boy, I need a change. And quickly...before I sell my soul.
(lord knows I need the money)
