[Blindtlk] Some Job Questions...

[Mari Hunziker]

Hi Kerri,

Great point. If you don't put yourself out there and try to do something
than you may never know what you are truly capable of. I used to think the
same way and I think most of us do at times. I occasionally feel like I am
settling for a job or a career I normally wouldn't take if I just had the
courage and confidence to get myself to try to do something I truly love
and passionate about. I wanted to start my own Drama Kids program and would
have loved doing it but I failed at putting myself out there and learning
about what my resources are and could have been. :) Good luck to you
finding your way. I need it too. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
