I like this quote because I am a firm believer in the fact that you can only change yourself. You can never change someone else and at times it is hard even to modify the situation you are in. The best example I have of this would be when I worked for a company that in the end put us out of business, and we all got picked up by the business I work for now. For the entire five or six year’s everything was always so negative, so I had to change myself and be more positive because being so negative was ruining my life, and it was making the Multiple Sclerosis worse. I just learned to focus on the positive things even if it was hard to find something. Now because I did do that with the job that I hated it is so easy for me to do now with the job that I am currently loving.
What do you think of these week’s quote by Viktor E. Frankl?
When I saw this quote, it stuck out to me because people on the internet are always saying things because you can hide behind a made up persona. I am the kind of girl that will say what I need to say regardless of if people know who I am. I don’t hide who I am and I never really have since I have been online. I don’t see the point because if I feel the need to hide what I am saying or doing than I have no business acting like that. Those are just a few of my thoughts on this quote and how I feel about it.
What did you think of this week’s quote by Jim Rohn?
This week for the writers workshop I am going to talk about number 3 which is You HAVE to go back in time and choose a different career path for yourself. What do you choose? As I sit here and think about changing careers the one thing that keeps coming to the front of my brain is that I wish I had finished school and that I was a registered nurse. I basically dropped out of school after I got pregnant and had my daughter. It has been so long since I have been in school that when I think about going back to school now I don’t know that I could or that I even want to go back to school to get my nursing degree.
I remember when I was in college people always said don’t stop going to school because once you stop or take a break you won’t go back. At the time I was in school I always thought that was stupid because I never saw myself not finishing school even if I took a break. Now that I have been out of school for years and years the last place I want to be in the world is back at school with teenagers and people who are younger than me. I am that weird person who loved school and now the thought of going to school again literally makes me sick to my stomach.
The more years I spend at the job I am at now the more I realize that I am probably going to be here forever because at this point I have done it for almost 8 years and it is all I know anymore. I remember starting this job thinking it was just going to be something until I could go back to working at a nursing home and now the longer I am here the more I realize that I don’t mind doing accounting and things like that.
It is funny to me how I have changed and my thoughts on what I want to do when “I grow up” have changed so much. I am glad I have the job I do and I am also glad that I think I am finally okay with not being in the medical field anymore. It will always be something that I love and something that just comes naturally to me but I don’t think I would be able to do the job because of the Multiple Sclerosis and things like that.
If you could change your career what would you want to do now?

I loved this quote when I read it because it is so true for me. People change all the time but that doesn’t mean that the changes are growth or that they are even good changes for that person. I also agree with not all movement is forward because lately I feel like I am moving but I don’t feel like I am going forward. I feel as though I am stuck right now but I am hoping to change that this year and get back on track to where I want to go in life. Those are just a few of my thoughts for this week.
Now I want to know what you think of this weeks quote by Ellen Glasgow? Do you agree or disagree?
