I believe that we are a created species. A created species, created for the purpose of creating! No matter what it is, we are all in the business of creating. That’s right, even those of us that are unemployed (gasp) are still in business! Can you say good news?!
The last two months my job has been to figure out what I want my “job” to be. Not exactly the easiest answer to the daily question ‘hows the job hunt coming?!’ But I think for the first time I may have an answer to that question, or at least a direction to lean. My background is is television production and hosting but I’ve always been more on the creative rather than the technical side of the operation and lately I’ve found myself wishing that my novice shooting and editing skills were more professionally developed so I could in essence ‘do my own thing!’
For some reason that’s where my thoughts stopped, like the possibility of developing those skills was so far out of reach that I didn’t even consider it. And now I’m a little annoyed with myself for selling myself short! I have creative ambition, desire to connect with people and a passion to tell stories and believe it or not (I’m talking to myself here) God has already equipped me to live out this dream.
It’s gonna take some work and lots of practice, but so what. I have this gift and I CAN do this. What you’re asking? A video production company run by a woman’s touch. I kinda like the sound of that…
All of us long to become something more than we are. We are driven to achieve, moved to accomplish, fueled by ambition. It burns hotter in some than in others, but it is within all of us. We are all searching for our unique purpose, our divine destiny, or simply a sense of significance or some measure of success. When we are optimistic about the future, we find the energy to create it. - Erwin McManus, Soul Cravings.
