You know, I've realised that life is full of opportunity as long as you're willing to look for it. If you can't be bothered to get up out of your rut and change it, opportunities won't ever present themselves to you. If you keep thinking that what you currently have is what you'll have forever, that's exactly how life will be. A few months ago I took a chance because I felt like it was time for a change. I'm still living in Lorne, right by the beach, in a prime spot really, it's beautiful. But my job has changed. I'm finally doing what I want to do in life, what I trained to do five years ago, and not just in a hairdressing salon, where I'm slightly undervalued. I'm an employee of a Nationwide Day Spa in Australia and I love it. I love what the company stands for and I love how it is run. This position is the start of bigger things for me for getting back into the industry, gaining some more experience and keeping up with all things beautiful, who knows what it might bring me for the future. but so far I'm hooked on Endota and I'm so happy to have this opportunity.I'm no longer working in Hospitality, which is a great weight off my shoulders. Working two jobs that were equally as full on as each other was getting very intense and tiring for me. But now I'm truly doing what I love, so who Am I to complain. I have been through the training courses and have a few more coming up, with the likes of Dermalogica and am feeling like I now have my ticket into the industry after years of wishing and hoping it would finally happen, it has and I couldn't be happier. I have been granted the 'Endota Passport' which is giving me so many doors and here's hoping a really bright future, whether in Australia or worldwide. You cannot say fairer than that.
I didn't really know what it would mean to set out on the journey of finding myself when I left good ol' Blighty 17 months ago (yep, it's really been that long kids). I definitely didn't expect that I would be finding my career path and getting stronger in my profession. I had almost given up finding it all and lost my passion for what I had spent years training to do. But I'm in love with being a Spa Therapist. I hope that doesn't make me sound like a workaholic, but I've always been told that you should love your job, after all; it's where you spend 80% of your life, so happy work life surely equals a happy life life, right? I even want to take it upon myself to refresh my theory training on all the Anatomy and Physiology so I can impress people with my knowledge of the left Phalanges... ( no it's not just a mechanical backfire on a plane, Thanks Phoebe Buffay)So this blog is just a nod to my future just letting it know that I'm ready for the next turn. I know I deserve for it to be the best it could be and I'm willing to keep working on it if it means it's delivering the good stuff. As for more travel, well those plans in the making too. I'm in no way giving up yet. My key words right now are Focus and Determination with a sprinkle of Happiness and Positivity. The world is out there and it's all mine if I want it.
Never Give Up On Your Dreams....
