Where has your path taken you?
I recently watched a webinar about creating an audiobook. While I am miles away from being ready to record my book as an audiobook, I was inspired. My inspiration was not the content of the webinar. It was the gentleman presenting it. His name is Derek Doepker and his business is helping authors publish and market their book. What popped at me was his background as a musician. His career journey started in music and he wound up in publishing and marketing. And here he was using his expertise in sound production to guide authors through the audiobook process. Once a musician always a musician was a thought I had. His brain is hardwired to hear the subtly of sound to accurately edit audiobooks, which takes some good amount of work to produce with quality.
It made me realize something interesting about myself. I have a background in Social Work. I know I use my counselling skills constantly and have since I graduated. But I suddenly had that epiphany of once a Social Worker always a Social Worker. My brain is hardwired to assess mine and other people’s experiences from a perspective of pulling together the emotional responses, thoughts, typical human behaviours, and relationship patterns, etc. to gain a big picture of what’s happening inside someone and in me. Even though my career path took me into yoga and consciousness training, I am still a Social Worker at heart and use those skills all the time.
And all of those experiences have contributed to my Self-Transformation Method for transforming emotional struggle into lasting inner peace using consciousness training tools that open your mind and increase your awareness of your inner world to empower you to choose what to change inside you.
Take a moment of reflection today. Where has your life path taken you? What foundation did you set early on that still guides your work and life today even though you are perhaps not in that line of work directly anymore?
Share in the comments. I'd love to hear your reflections.
