I landed my first job out of college at this great financial firm, and I couldn’t be more proud of the work I am doing. Not only are we educating people, I get to be there for people through the thick and thin. What I am noticing though is that I have an ego the size of the sun. I was so full of myself that I didn’t even realize I was being fake. I have done what I’ve had to do to survive the last 26 years of my life, and I am the hardest worker I know, besides my dad and brothers of course, but I am a but rough around the edges. I am a professional now. I am learning how to behave like a one, but I have a lot to learn. I have had a few different people tell me I am intimidating. I don’t mean to be. The lifestyle I chose to live has hardened me, and I have normalized that behavior. I am now seeing that. And I thank God that I have the awareness, and ability to recognize it, and work on it.
Being proud of the work I do has helped as well. I don’t want to jeopardize it by partying. I have an opportunity here to really build something to be satisfied with. I will learn how to be the best me I can. And I have a boss who, amazed as I am, sees me for who I really am. I’ve put on this mask for my entire life, trying to be someone I am not that I believed it myself. I have a lot of work to do to get where I want to be. But look at how far I’ve come already, and you can see I am hungry, that I have the drive and the hustle to build my business. I thank the Lord every morning for this chance. I am incredibly grateful for the life I now live. And I am extremely humbled by this next chapter in my life. What lasts isn’t easy, and what’s easy doesn’t last. God Bless. Thank you for reading.
