8:46 I Totally relate to this when I was job hunting as a software engineer, feeling like I'm wasting time and not getting anywhere so I decided to let go of that path and go to the path that I've always wanted to follow which is self employed, creating my own business and focus my 100% energy and time into growing it and after a year now I'm really happy and I don't regret the decision I took at all. Even though I'm still not seeing the results I want but I'm getting there and I know that it's gonna take time but I'm okay with that as long as I have freedom and I feel fulfilled that's all that matters to me.
Thank you for sharing this ❤️ That's what it's all about. The journey isn't easy, but what matters is trying your best and putting in all your effort. Little by little, the results you're looking for will start to show. It's great that you're following what you believe in ☺️🫶🏻
I have never related more to a video. I'm so glad you shared this. I'm heading into my 4th year of college and am changing directions hoping I can avoid having to start over later but fully aware it may happen anyway lol
Thank you so much for sharing that! It's a brave decision to change directions, especially during such a pivotal time in your life. It's completely okay to shift paths...sometimes it's the best way to discover what truly makes you happy. Even if you end up starting over later, every experience you gain along the way is valuable and shapes who you are. Wishing you the best in your journey, and know that you're not alone in this 💖
Had a similar experience where by Sophomore year in college I was doubting whether Music Therapy was the direction I wanted to go. However, my stubbornness to not give up and peers/mentors around me saying to just keep pushing through led to the end of Senior year knowing I did not want to enter that career field. Floundered around mixing full time low-wage jobs and going back to school for classes here and there. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who had an Admin/Gopher position open at his job, and I am now coming up on my second anniversary in the company! Not where I thought my life would go, but since it is such as small tech business, I have learned tons of new skills and am overall enjoying how I fit in with everyone there.
@@semccollum642 Thank you for sharing this ❤️ It’s amazing how life can take unexpected turns, but those experiences often teach us so much and lead us to where we need to be. Congrats on your second anniversary, and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying your current role 🥹✨ Sometimes the path to finding our fit isn't straightforward, but it's always worth it in the end. ☺️
