Dear Diary…

Day 2 of Year 51

“Sandra, why can’t you keep a job?” asked my elder. I mean, that wasn’t their only question, but in essence it was. They asked how I was doing and I told them I was maintaining and then jokingly said, I probably have changed 3-4 jobs since we last spoke. (Keep in mind, we spoke in June) There was no concerns shown towards my mental health, my physical well-being, or even my financial situation just the jaw dropping eye opening question… “Sandra, why can’t you keep a job?”

Normally that question would have gone without being addressed because I would have felt like shit and silently started questioning my own self worth and abilities. But yesterday was different! I realized that my family has always placed me into a box of perpetual judgment and misunderstanding. They have never really taken the time to “see” me for who I am or who I am capable of BEing. It’s always been a comparison to others in my family. This person has this, that person has that, yet none of the stories tell of any of them following their dreams and purpose. Everyone’s success is measured by what they have and who they marry.

Well I don’t have a fancy car, house or toys; and I’m not married or even in a monogamous committed relationship. So does that make me a failure?!? Hell NO! I’m not a failure and the fact that I’m still waking up every morning to a new day shows me that My Purpose has not been fulfilled yet, and I have another chance at making that happen.

So I corrected that relative (respectfully) and told them that “these j.o.b.s can’t keep ME!” If they are not in alignment with My Purpose Driven Path and don’t recognize My Contributing Worth, then there is no reason for me to stay. My Mental Well-being takes precedence over a paycheck. Especially when said paycheck doesn’t cover the ever rising cost of living.

Yep, that was another Universe-given sign! They tend to drop outta the sky after you acknowledge the first few.

So, are YOU ‘keeping a job’? Or is that job keeping YOU from finding and taking the path of your Purpose Driven Life? Think about that question before answering.

Remember your Purpose and Potential…

I AM YOU 😘💜🦋
