How am I still here?

What did I miss?

Because you get into the day-to-day and you can't see the forest through the trees anymore.

And then you hit your job or you don't like yourself anymore.

You don't like your career and where it's headed.

And then you're bitter or it's maybe too late to start making some decisions.

So for me, I was always like, look ahead.

pick your head up every once in a while, see what's going on so you don't run into a, or jump off a cliff or run into a moving car or whatever.

And then when an opportunity opened up, put your fear aside.

And if you think that it can help you grow vertically, horizontally, give you new skills, maybe it's two steps sideways to go one step forward,

Go for it.

And that's what I did and what I've done.

And it's served me well.

I have worked for some horrible people.

And I've been in some horrible job situations.

And I've been in some amazing job situations.

I've worked for some amazing people, including the current company and role that I'm in.

But you learn as much from both.

And I've made mistakes.

I've made the wrong decision, which then I had to go self-correct.
