While my “day job” added unwanted stress on my life, I continued to pack on the overtime hours in hopes of paying off my car, student loans, wedding, landscape bills, etc. etc… At the same time a friend of mine decided to cut back on her overtime and start her own business applying eyelash extensions (which look AMAZING and natural, by the way)… it was something she was passionate about and loved doing. It gave her the same additional cash without the stress of our hospital job…. and I wanted that!!! So I looked into possible taking a class on administering Botox… it was something I was somewhat familiar with, being a nurse, and something I knew I could make money doing. I got on the internet and searched for reputable companies offering certification… each class was thousands of dollars and didn’t guarantee work, and I was becoming more and more frustrated… and I wasn’t excited about starting my new endeavor, I was dreading it.It wasn’t something I was passionate about… I kidded myself into thinking extra money was going to automatically translate into happiness…
Money was never what was important…my happiness was my #1 one concern. My creative spirit was dying to be heard, and I finally realized it wasn’t going to be recognized injecting women’s faces with Botox. I started to listen to what I really wanted, and it led me to my paintbrush… and all was right with the world. Life is so much brighter!!!
