I feel as if I am in a position where I am realizing a lot of various talents and understanding what I enjoy and what I am good at.
Note to readers: I am about to talk about all the things I am good at, so if you dislike shameless self promotion stop reading now!
- Travel writing: although I am unpublished I just completed an article on my week in Amsterdam. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Maybe I could be a travel writer.
- Enneagram teacher: the Enneagram has been a very powerful tool for personal growth and combined with my presentation skills I could be quite good at teaching it to others.
- Presentation/training/facilitation skills: I probably have the most experience with these skills and am quite good at speaking in public and get lots of compliments for it. I also enjoy facilitating meetings and trainings. I could be a paid public speaker or train others on public speaking and facilitation.
- Non profit management/sales and marketing: the most applicable skill set I could stay in non profit and advance in the ranks or go back to the corporate world and try my hand at sales and marketing.
- Spoken word and poetry: this is more of a hobby kind of thing but who knows, I could be really great at it! And I think I am really great at it already.
And, where do I live? And when do we want children?
I feel like I am in a prime place right now. I am ready for my moment of truth, ready for the universe to use me in a grand way. The problem is I know that grandiosity is the wrong reason to want something. I also know that doing the best with my time and energy in each moment is what will provide me with the best chance of success and happiness in the future with success being external and elusive and happiness being internally controlled and even more elusive.
I believe the answer is this:
Be a writer now Aaron, be a poet now, be an Enneagram teacher everyday, do your best at work each day. Those are the answers. Be it now.
What am I doing for the next 20 years? Do it now!
