I am having a great day today! I feel so productive! We had a meeting this morning at work and it seems as though we are finally getting through to them how important our department really is and how integral we are to the infrastructure of our community. Self-empowerment through work as built up a confidence in myself that I haven't had in quite awhile.
I have been working at my current position for 10 years now. This has been the longest job I've had thus far. It's true that things on the "Rez" move slower than the outside world but things do get done. Hopefully with the investment in our technology and education, we'll be able to be more productive and efficient. I enjoy what I do and hopefully soon, I'll be able to expand on the duties which I currently hold. We don't necessarily have to look outward for new opportunities, sometimes all we have to do is open our eyes and see what we're already blessed with.
After writing in my blog the other day and finally admitting what I did, I feel so much lighter (emotionally). My mind seems to be clearer and I don't feel so walled in by the gray pessimistic emotions I've been harboring all this time. In the end, we're only lying to ourselves and that's one of the worse things we can do in our lives. We already know the truth yet we try to disguise it as best we can to make ourselves feel good, but in the end, the truth always wins out.
There is no shame in saying I was wrong for doing what I've done. I've learned that. I've learned a lot about myself through my failures. It's only normal as humans to make mistakes but the trick is to learn from these mistakes and not make them again.
Well, I must get back to my duties here at work. I felt the need to write and so, I had to come here to get it out. :-D
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
-Eric.
