A Gift of Motivation…or Is It? So, the other day, as I still wallow in my self-pity, my mom decided to try to cheer me up. In this hopeless venture of hers, she gave me my Christmas gift early. One may be mildly cheery of a gift, I however was not entirely sold on the idea. Yet, I gave in and opened it and there they were; 2 books that I refer to as self-help books. I know they aren’t necessarily the kind of books that state “love yourself” or “you need to work on you” but that is how I felt when I opened them. I felt like my mother was acknowledging that I was a failure and I needed to refocus my energy on improving myself. Thanks mom, for I now feel like even more like a pile of shit. I know Momma G means well. She has seen me go through so many “jobs” and be let down so often. I don’t know what it is about me that employers don’t want to keep me on staff. In fact, I have only had one employer want to give me more work and have praised me for the work that I do. To this day, I still stay connected with them. But I digress. Maybe I’m just not meant to work? Maybe I should take the fact I have not kept a position in a “job” for an extensive period of time alongside the fact Momma G has given me these books of motivation that I am meant to be my own boss? I have no idea what the answer is. Will I ever figure it out? I have no idea. I have started to read “Driven”, written by a Croatian immigrant to Canada who is a venture capitalist on both the shows “Dragon’s Den” and “Shark Tank”. I am only on Chapter 12 of many. Within this book, he speaks of being an entrepreneur and all aspects of being the sort. One thing I read that I know I have been lacking is passion. Passion drives a person to go for their dreams. I need to refocus my energy and find my passion. In being Missy G, I have been all over the place as my friends out there (including all of you reading this) see me as different things. What I can promise you is that I have a passion for all of you and will focus my energy on being the best Missy G I can be, no matter my meaning in your life. So maybe Momma G’s pre-emptive Christmas gift has been a gift of motivation. I guess we will find out… MissyG |
