Between the lines
I sense a calling. A calling that tells me I need this 'change'. Very enticing , very promising. Have you ever experienced the feeling of realising what you've always wanted to do in your life?
I got that 'sign' recently. Some people are born to be cops, ministers , robbers , accountants etc... I realised that there is a job that I actually will love doing. When I tried doing it, everything flows naturally and so synchronised that I was able to deliver it without any stress. I actually said to myself "Hey, maybe I should give this a shot" .
The concern now is probably the fear of the unknown. You don't know how far or how successful you're going to be. The need to have a steady stream of income to materialise long term and short term plans is very high on the priority list. What if things do not go as I hoped ? But my heart is really telling me to go down this route .. because of the great promise and potential it has.
I've consulted my loved ones and close comrades about it. Well I got mixed feedbacks. The general feeling that I can summarise is that they do encourage me to try but at the same time there is a weary feeling towards it. This goes back to the fear of the unknown. The things we don't know and understand normally instills fear until we actually experience it first hand. Like taking your first roller coaster ride or trying out a funky looking dish at an exotic food joint. I just don't want to regret not giving this a shot later in my life. After all, I'm still young and at a very good age to experiment.
I'm currently searching for a solution to address all the concerns and doubts that I have so that everyone is clear about this path that I am contemplating on taking.
Me? A Copywriter?
