Today at work we had our annual leadership conference. During one of our breaks I was chatting with one of the presenters who asked me what I was doing [professionally] 5 years ago. Back then I was working as a medical assistant for one of the best doctors ever: Robert Young. He asked me where I wanted to be in 5 years. I proceeded to tell him about my dreams of having a photography studio. As we continued to talk I really thought about where/who I was, where/who I am and where/who I want to be.
Tonight I spent some time studying my scriptures and thought of the same three questions: where I was, where I am and where I want to be. Wow! Talk about perspective!
At the time I didn't know why the Spirit kept prompting me to quit my job as a medical assistant, that I loved, to go back to school. Five years later I know that I wouldn't have met Craig if it wasn't for my job as a Store Trainer (aka human resources) at Maceys. My job has really pushed me to see a glimpse my own potential and to work toward that each day and to try to inspire others to see their potential.
If you have literally 2 minutes check out this awesome video on YouTube that I shared at our conference today. I promise you that you'll leave with a smile. :-)
