So, I am trying to think of what my time spent in the salon/spa industry as well as food and beverage, has taught me about myself. I know that I am not good at staying in the same spot all night. Even as a bartender making good money every night, I was not feeling it.
I am of course thinking of these things because I am updating my resume in hopes of attracting a new employer for part-time work. I like being a receptionist, but I would rather work as a shampoo assistant. That way I will not have to deal with the dread of sitting behind the desk. I also want to work towards getting my cosmetology license.
That being said, I am much more interested in working in a salon rather than a spa/salon. I am a very animated individual and my attitude is not conducive to relaxation. Salons are upbeat and focus on giving active energy to clients. My energy is active, rather than calming, so I prefer an active workload.
I think the problem I am experiencing here is that I have not found something challenging enough to hold my attention at this time in my life. It is kind of like how I feel about my inability to translate my knowledge and learning ability into earning my BA. I chose to take the easy route, instead of applying for the honors program, I too regular classes. I was missing that little extra that keeps me focused and centered. Without that little something extra to focus the active energy, it was boring and redundant.
Lucky for me I am an adult now. I have the power to focus my active energy into positive channels and make a way for myself beyond my wildest dreams. I keep telling myself that I am failing at this mediocre stuff because I was meant for something grand and mind boggling. But you all know, the proof is in the pudding.
