In reply to What I have learned in my 42 years, posted by Gracie2 on February 24, 2002, at 2:43:37
Gracie,
There is so much wisdom in your post. It made me tearful because many of the lessions that you list, I only "got" in the last couple of years. And there are others, I am still working on.
<<<*If you are unhappy at work, make a concerted effort to find a job that interests you, no matter how old you are or how different a new job change
would be. Your professional job involves a major part of your life and if you are unhappy, it's time for a major overhaul in your life's thinking. A
great many people have changed their career several times when they learned that an occupation was unsuited for them, and so can you.>>>I changed careers from technical to artistic at age 32. I was fortunate to have the resources to be able to make that change. I'd like to think that even without the support offered to me, I would have figured out some way to make that change. It has profoundly affected my life in a positive way. It has also left me with the emotional resources to learn many of the other things you have learned in your 42 years.
BTW, if you know all this now, think of what you'll have learned by the time you're 84.
Thanks,
Shelli
