At the age of 25 I feel I have developed a good level of appreciation for the fact that I really get to do what I love more than anything else. Prior to going full time with my art I worked consistently in the service industry for all my life. I waited tables, led people to their seats, washed dishes, worked the register, and cooked in the kitchen. While I worked these odd jobs as I was in school I heard the constant complaint of my peers about how much they hated their “for now” jobs. They couldn’t wait until they finally finished school so they could start their actual careers. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand how challenging it can be to do something day in and day out that you really just don’t enjoy at all. However, I decided when I was very young that no matter what I did…. I was going to be the very best at it that I could possibly be.
Every job that I worked it was my mission to find joy and fulfillment in what it was that I was doing. I worked hard at everything that I did and people noticed. My co-workers loved to be around me because of my positive energy and my managers appreciated my sense of pride in what it was that I was doing even though it wasn’t what I wanted to do forever. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was because of this intense work ethic that God has blessed me so much now that I am operating my own business.
I am so incredibly thankful for where I’ve been, where I am and where I am going in life. I will continue to work as hard as I can at whatever it is that I am doing. This is my promise!
