Revival of the Fittest

Upon waiting for my information package from school I've been thinking a lot lately about where my new direction in life will take me. I'm really excited to be venturing into this completely new avenue for my career, I'm excited that I will be promoting health and happiness in this line of work as I've never had a job where that was any part of the work. I truly believe that having passion for what you do, even a small passion and at the very least believing in what you do, that it will truly benefit you and limit the amount of stress you have in your life.
If you've ever heard the expression "Believe and you will succeed" I really believe this is true. I believe in natural healing and the power of massage therapy for stress relief, aches & pains and for an all over balance of the body. I have NEVER heard anyone say, after getting a massage, that they feel like shit. So for me, the thought of being that healer and promoting healthy habits and helping others feel great sounds very rewarding.
I've also noticed recently that my passion for health and wellbeing has taken over my blogging too! Because I've become so aware and so passionate about the way I live and eat I have become determined to spread this knowledge to everyone I know! In fact D even commented that I've become a library full of "Did you know's" recently because I always have something new I've discovered that I want to share with him.
Because of this I feel almost a reasurrance that I'm doing the right thing by taking massage therapy, I truly believe it's my calling and I truly believe in practicing what you preach so therefore I will be!

A year ago, or even a few months ago, I would never have seen myself going down this path or changing my life the way I am and I believe it has a lot to do with taking myself more seriously and trying to replace my "I can't" with "I can" because I admit for a long time I was in the habit of bringing myself down, I never believed I could achieve my goals and whenever I heard of other people who were living the life they always dreamed of I assumed they had something I didn't. I suppose in part I was right about that because they had the determination and belief that for so long I lacked in myself however I was wrong to tell myself that I couldn't achieve the same for myself. Because I thought that way I really believed that I would have to settle in life and I assumed because the only knowledge span I really had for work was basic computers that I would work in an office just like my mom, not that there is anything wrong with that but it definitely wasn't my dream and not an appealing target for me. However for awhile I was in an office and I tried to make it my "dream"... sure the money was good but I was fooling myself to think I was happy or in any way fulfilled. I don't care about accounting, I don't care about invoicing or data entry... I simply had no interest in what I was doing so for the most part, I admit, I slacked off a lot at my job and it showed I didn't care and I know that now looking back. I believe it was a good stepping stone for me to take because if I hadn't taken my shot at that I wouldn't ever appreciate being somewhere I wanted to be and might not have truly deserved to be there...at least in my opinion if you don't appreciate what you have you probably don't deserve to have it in the first place.
I guess I'm trying to say that now I've taken the steps to "Revive" my career I feel pretty good about moving ahead and where I'm going to be and I trust that no matter where the journey takes me I'll be happy along the way! :)
