I have decided that I need to take up more space. No, I don't need to gain more weight. I already take up enough space that way LOL I need to be more of a part of life and not just remain in the background. I am not complaining about how I have lived my life or am currently living my life but I have made some observations/revelations lately about that. Looking back on lots of things over my 5 decades on Earth, I have started to notice a pattern. I start off strong and then slowly fade into the background. I fade into the background in an attempt to stay a part of the group and not rock the boat. I have done it with my social interactions, with my relationships and with my jobs.
In each of those kinds of experiences, I come on very strong. Once I have secured my position, then I just stay on the sidelines and watch mostly. With my current job, the first two years I was in it I was a powerhouse and people took notice. While I am still good at my job, I simply don't put myself out there like I did when I began. I need to get back to that. Let people know that I'm still here and I am worth your time. By the way, I am NOT saying that my coworkers do not appreciate me. Quite the contrary. It's just different than when I started because I have become comfortable in what I do. I need to challenge myself at work and get back into the spotlight on occasion.
I am going into a time that is going to be extremely busy for me with work and school. But I can do this. I can not only make a good impression, but I can also continue that energy in the different aspects of my life. I just have to set my mind in that mode and follow through with it.
That is all.
