Just a thought

I was talking with my friend Jocelyn tonight and it got me thinking about something in a different way.  We were discussing job hunting. She's as frustrated about this as I am. We agreed that people love to give unsolicited advise about this.

How many times have friends told me,"Stop complaining! Just be thankful you have a job." Why is wanting MORE for myself a bad thing? Why does seeking something different mean I am not thankful? If I was just content to be a Health Coach the rest of my life, I would be just fine with what I have now. If I didn't know that I had talents to use, I would just sit back and SETTLE. I am tired of being told that expecting more of myself is wrong. I'm not complacent. That isn't me. I can be thankful for my employment and yearn for new challenges & experiences. I will NOT feel guilty about that anymore!
