Just because.
Blogger Courtney Carver shared on her blog, Be More With Less the idea of, "Just because you are good at what you do doesn't mean you are supposed to be doing it."
If you stick with anything long enough, the chances are that you will eventually become skilled in that area, even though your heart might not be fully convinced. Although, there is satisfaction in a job well done, is there more to life than just satisfaction?
Perhaps the lesson here is to not spend so much time doing something you really don't want to be doing? The risk you take is never venturing beyond the safety of what you have mastered.
Now I also know that this is much easier said than done. The risk of leaving a job is often times too much of a gamble. The sense of security and the paycheck it provides might be just enough to keep you there. Have the courage to ask the question, "Are you staying just because?"
Your thoughts and reflections have been very interesting. At first glance I thought they were in opposition but, I get that maybe staying with sometime just because we are good at it is not always realizing our potential and doing something which we are not good at opens doors to growth. Did I getcha?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about how sometimes we make choices early on for whatever reason, and over time we gain a skill set for what we are doing. Because we show competence we might use that as an excuse not to pursue something else that might be more in keeping with who we really are.
