So all afternoon I have been on my computer typing away on my last school project for the year. I chose to do an alternate six page report on my 'Dream job and/or my dream company' instead of a boring paper on Organizational Behaviours and Organizational Structures.

After writing out this dream that I have been so passionate about for the past couple of years of my life; has left me feeling kind of sad because I know that with the state of the economy (not just in Canada and the US but world – wide and then sprinkle on top of that all of the doom and gloom on CNN -"Constant Negative News") that my dream of being a consultant/speaker/trainer in the service industry, is not a viable option right now.

Had I started this venture I was dreaming about a few years ago—I could have been thriving by now. I had done so much research, networking, writing out business plan drafts ,etc.. The only thing that was stopping me from realizing my goal was financing and the fact that I really wanted to go to school. In order to afford schooling, I had to work. Plus, I felt having more schooling behind me would only help me to be more successful and would open more doors. Let's face it though; working full-time and then studying in whatever spare moment you have is not easy.

Even though the state of the world right now seems to speak of only dark and discouraging times does not mean I will scrap my dream either, I will just have to wait, be patient, and have hope. I also will have to wait for the economy to change, which is fine; it will give me more time for school and to refine my dreams, goals and objectives, then when the time is right—I will be ready. But will the world be ready for me? Who knows?

For right now, having a job, and being able to put food on my table  and still being able to purchase yet another tube of lip-gloss (that I do not need) still makes me feel blessed.
