How I've improved myself and what the implications are

Lately I have been paying close attention to the way people react to me in efforts to improve my being so I can love the woman I’ve become. I’ve realized that using other people’s perspective’s as a judgment for myself is a unique way to get to know me and grow me. It has helped me pay attention to the words and tones that come out my mouth as I focus on the reactions from my peers and also their responses. This, in turn, helps other people learn to love me and that is just plain amazing. Let me further explain my theory…

Sometimes, you may think what you are saying makes sense or perhaps you talk without thinking often and then become misunderstood and/or confused about why people have reacted negatively. But, when you focus on the specific manner of your speech and words, you really began to notice details about your character, the good and the bad. This helps you grow and learn more about how you act and those you surround yourself with.  

See, as you pay attention to the communication in your life, it is easy to understand and convey your thoughts appropriately. This leads to a better form of communication on all levels and we all know how useful it is to have good communication skills.

Since practicing this idea of being morally conscious and aware of who I am and how I am received, I am proud to say that my responses from others seems to be very positive. This optimism I’ve been noticing has really given me the confidence to believe in myself and strive to discover my dreams.

I use the word “discover” because my goals and ideas of what it means to live out my “dreams” has never been a clear thought. I have many passions and can imagine being successful in multiple areas of business. I also am continuing to evolve and gaining interest in many more things as I grow older so my options are appearing even more endless.

I love working with children and can be a very positive influence on children/young adults of all ages. I have learned this through the substitute teaching I have been doing full-time for 3 months and from the work I’ve done with children in the past. I seem to have a very acute sense for finding a way to relate to many different types of personality/lifestyles/educational levels. Most students, even the troublemakers, have seemed to respond pretty well to me overall.

I am also very interested in fashion and have been for as long as I can remember. I have been complimented and commended for my style for years now and I can imagine myself in retail, then working my way up to a buyer position for one of my favorite departments stores like Macys, for example. I also think I would be a great manager because I know I am easy to approach, enjoy finding strengths in others and am a very hard worker.

Then there’s my writing passion, which I followed throughout college, earned a journalism degree and have envisioned myself doing since first grade. I love being involved with the media and really believe that my idea of ‘journalism” is idealistic, positive and moves away from the mundane pattern we’re so used to seeing. I want to conduct interviews, highlight special events, travel the world and tell people about it, take pictures and write captions and maybe even review a major fashion show.

I also would love to work with an environmental group, perhaps teaching business and individuals how to recycle and move into a “green” lifestyle. I am passionate about treating and caring for this Earth and I would find great joy in knowing I am making a difference in savoring this beautiful planet.

Have I mentioned radio? I would love to be a radio personality. I even have experience and have such a passion for music but really want to open up the ears of radio listeners to music that isn’t “popular.”

Music, music, music. My biggest passion overall. Maybe I can find a way to introduce all these thoughts into some career surrounding music. I could be a radio deejay that interviews musicians, continue to update listeners on all things green and travels the world giving speeches to students about recycling, then writing articles about those experiences.

?????????????????????????????

Anyways, I just wanted to share my idea that has lead to so many others ideas and maybe I’ll get some feedback to help me make some decisions.
