Pop quiz hot shot.
Remember that movie?
Anyhoo, here’s a pop quiz for all of you.
Actually it’s not so much of a quiz as a question, and of course it’s totally optional. In fact never mind. I’m going make a hair appointment, apply someĀ under eye cream, put cucumbers on my eyes and log off now.
Just kidding.
So here’s the thing…
What do you do, when like, all your planets are in alignment, and jupiter is in the seventh house (or your house, or the house of, oh never mind, let’s just say they’re all exactly where they’re supposed to be, for things to be going well okie dokie?)
…and, it would appear that a fairly large opportunity presents itself.
Or at least appears to present itself, when someone approaches you.
In order for this opportunity to be fully realised, you will need to move out of your comfort zone.
Like so far out of your comfort zone, and into the next zip code.
Like as in the thought of this opportunity becoming yours, is enough to send you running and screaming, to hind in a corner, suck your thumb and wish you could just disappear? Maybe some rocking back and forth, with alternating fetal positions would help?
The thought of the opportunity becoming yours, you being awarded it, and then actually being successful at it, (though this is a far distant finish line, and the self imposed hurdles named ‘confidence’, ’self-belief’, ’self esteem’ and a hundred others stand between you and this distant finish line) would be enough to seriously catapault your career.
Bring you some much needed mun-nay, and the proverbial boot up the arse of your career that you should have had a year ago anyway, if you weren’t so busy procreating, mothering, and avoiding any type of job-related success at all?
Pop quiz hot shot. What do you do. WHAT DO YOU DO??

Right now running and hiding is the most desirable option.
But the thought of success…keeps this little spark inside of me alive.
This little spark that says I am talented, can do anything, can achieve anything, and will be a success if I only put my mind to it…

Let’s just say that while I can’t say too much now, I can say this:
Photography
Request for Proposal
International Catalogue
(now excuse me while I go and sh*t in my pants!!)

Grab it with both hands and run with it!
You’ll be forever wondering “If only…”.
If it doesn’t work out at least you’ll know you gave it your best shot…if it does work out, you’ll be laughin’.

You are right, forever wondering, is way harder than trying, and seeing what happens!
