Hard Lesson Learned

After almost 3 weeks I found a job on Tuesday. Actually...the job is something that I'm good at, was 'I think" born to do in life.
Ever since I can remember I always wanted to go to Hollywood and do Hair & Make-up for the stars.
Now...I did not take my dream all the way to Hollywood, but I did go to school so that I could get my Cosmetology License. I cut hair off and on for 14 years. If I had followed my heart and made myself happy it would have been 16 years straight now, but instead, I let someone tell me that cutting hair was not a "real job" and that I needed to make more money and have insurance, 401K ect..
So...to make this person happy, instead of making myself happy, I have been at a job that after about 4 months into realized I made a huge mistake. It was an office job. Yes...I made more money, had all the benefits of an office job, I also got something that I was not use to...STRESS!!
Office politics, I don't play that game very well. So for 2 years and some months I worked at this job and busted my butt for this company.
Guess what I got for my hard work...I got told that "it just was not working out". Just like that I'm out of a job. 2 years of un-needed stress, what a waste!!!!
So...the job I got on Tues. is cutting hair again. Let's just say that I have finally learned to make myself happy and not let anyone change my mind to do it differently. If I had only done that 2 years ago!!
This has been the hardest lesson I have learned so far!!!
Maybe now I can be happy!
