I’d rather be that than this…..

Everyone is unique, if that weren’t so then there would be no reason to call us individuals. Each person has a certain characteristic, personality, demeanour and possesses their own set of values and beliefs. How each person is shaped helps that person to get through their life and work. How do you know ahead of time that the job/work you want to be in is exactly the one that fits your personality or demeanour? They say each person changes career at least 5 times before they figure out what they really want to know. But don’t you think it’s a little tiring and stressful to be changing careers too often. I don’t mean working for Company A versus Company B while still doing the same job. Wouldn’t it be too stressful to find out that the job you are in right now may not be the right fit for your personality? Isn’t it frustrating to think that the job you’ve worked so hard on achieving while in 4 years of university may not be what you really want to do for the rest of your life?

Some people have told me that it takes a certain personality to become a nurse. I believe that cause now I’ve finally realized how much my personality does not fit this job. Why is it that some people have so much assertiveness and others have any at all? I am definitely not the most assertive person in this planet. I don’t like pushing my way in. I take my time but in this job I’m in, you gotta get in when you can. Otherwise, your patients life is at stake.

I wish I can be a little bit more assertive but it’s not that easy to change something of yourself that you’ve been for the last 26 years. Change they say is the only constant thing in this world. If only I can buy a bit of assertiveness??? I would have done that ages ago. I’ve been assertive on dire occassions at work but I wish I can be assertive all the time.

For anyone who is lucky enough to find their dream job, kudos to you!!! However, I do realize that work is work and there definitely will be days when you’d hate your work. It’s not perfect and it is up to us to make it work. So it’s up to me to figure out how I can be more assertive. Or should I just start thinking about finding another job? Sad thought isn’t it? I’m sure there is something out there for someone like me, I just have to go and find it.
