"what am I good at and what is my passion?" I used to work in a field I loved more than anything but was laid off and unfortunatley that market is not stable and now jobs are hard to come by in it. Instead I work in a job that I detest with a boss who apparently now hates employees who have kids that get sick ... and am miserable yet like you said, running is that outlet we NEED to get over these humps. Running is what makes us happy and it also gives us the time to reflect.<br /><br />I've said this before ... I used to live to work but now I work to live ... I wish I could change that and I wish I could find my passion or talent.<br /><br />I hope you do and can make it work for you. I also highly recommend a sports doc. I see one on occassion and it DOES help! Follow his advice though because if you don't, you don't heal!trailmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989462989068742386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036849222834711493.post-37260582070040966032012-01-03T12:44:13.857-08:002012-01-03T12:44:13.857-08:00Great post, Rain!

There are a lot of times where I wish I had a time machine where I could go back knowing the things I know now about school, career, and life in general. I, too, wish I could be more pro-active with following my passions sometimes. I used to be that way when I was younger. It seems as I've gotten older, I become more and more cautious as it seems there are more factors involved in making decisions.<br /><br />Good luck with the sports doctor. I think it will be a help!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340924185821811736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036849222834711493.post-56384341147540210772012-01-03T09:30:40.491-08:002012-01-03T09:30:40.491-08:00I think about this stuff all the time.

I'm lucky enough that I have the time to think about what it is that I really want to do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708110546221516653noreply@blogger.com
