Follow the yellow brick road..
Thanks for the pic that says a million words from Crystal<3 on Flickr. I’m in awe of the way life can pick up out of nowhere. So much like Dorothy…
Dorothy was so much like me! lol One day you’re on a farm, doing mundane things… a little stressed about nonsense that you wish you could change. Then something incredibly unexpected comes out of nowhere and changes everything.
Now everything is clearer-and in vivid color- no less. You suddenly are on your way, meeting people that are so willing to help you, seeing things you didn’t think you would. Or at least anytime soon.
I love that Dorothy didn’t consider where else to go. She just followed the yellow brick road cause at the end was promised the answer. Strangely, as we all know, she was always her own answer. But how was she supposed to know? She just needed some guidance.
I’ve always been the kind of girl to want to find my own way and claim the prize. I’ve gone through job ups and downs and always wanted a job/career where I could be in charge of the amount of work I take on and not be told what to do much. I just finished my second week of training in a new job where I really have to go by a set schedule and set of policies. Its really different for me.
The way the company is structured, its so much more than following rules, though. It’s setting a goal, creating win-win situations, and using your personality to make it work. I feel very in control and very supported at the same time. I love that there are people around me helping me to be a better me. It just feels nice.
There’s a pattern of progression, too, that led me to see it as my yellow brick road. I know the end is promised to give me the answers I really need. I know compared to this path, the sidelines look pale. I see how people are coming out of nowhere to help me along. I don’t really know what is toward the end, who else I’ll meet, or what to do next. Its one day at a time and I’m ok. Finally, I found a balance of being in charge of my work, and being responsible to someone else at the same time. I am so excited to travel on this road!!
I know I’m not “supposed” to write a blog on tumblr… Think of my blog like the articles in Playboy… sometimes you want to read, too! lol What I get out of all this, is what I want to share with all of you… is to feel it out and just keep it moving. Have faith that you have the answer inside of you. Don’t seek others to give you the answer, but do embrace those that are willing to help you find it yourself. The saying goes, “you can give a man a fish and he eats for a day, you teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime”. SO true.
Even if you don’t have so much faith in yourself. Think of what you DO want!! and when you make the small decisions every day think of these things you want before you get to your answer. The thought inside of your head -even unconsciously- will help you make the right decision for you. Try your very best not to second guess. Just make the decision and take one step at a time to follow through. Give it a good effort! The more you put in, is entirely the amount you get out. Somewhere in there if you really don’t think its for you, look towards having something else you want to pursue… just keep it moving. Have faith, in yourself, in the process, in life, in others.
Its not usually great to be a follower, but in the case of your own yellow brick road, (and Tumblr) sometimes its the perfect way to enrich your life.
