Clare Henney: May 2012

I’ve said this so many times in the last eleven years I’ve been in this job: I want to quit.

Unlike the past years that I’ve wanted to quit, I feel that this time around I have good reason to.  I feel like I’ve plateaued.  Like there’s no more room for me to grow in this career path.  I’ve studied my options carefully and unless I want to do the same thing for the next eleven more years, I need to explore other avenues and find something else to do with my life.  I feel like there’s nothing more to learn here.  Nothing new anyway.

I’m grateful that I have a job, but this isn’t really what I saw myself doing for the rest of my life.  I’d like to think that I do my job well, but it’s not something that I actually love to do.  If I can be good at a job that I am not that passionate about (aside from it being there to pay the bills), imagine how good I can be if it is a job that I do love?
