Story of my life.. - Aimee

Hello everyone it's Aimee, again! 

Recently I've been going through a lot of trouble trying to find a career choice that really suits me and that I am genuinely interested in. Well after a lot of thought and gaining a lot of spots and losing a lot of hair (from pulling it out with stress), I now know that I want to go into a beauty related job, Hurray! However, it has not been as easy as I thought. I've gone through careers advisors at my previous college and careers advisors at my local 'Connexions' or 'Positive Steps' and I am now claiming job seekers I'm getting that desperate for money! This journey to find an apprenticeship or a course that suits my specific needs is so hard that sometimes I just want to give up. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this pickle? Am I? 

I really wish someone would just knock on my door and offer it to me on a plate but unfortunately we do have to work for what we want and we do have to make the effort and most importantly be motivated! Which is something I really lacked, motivation. Usually I'm so motivated to do things work related but when it comes this long process I'm just not. So I wanted to get myself more motivated so I started looking at quotes and statements on google that I thought would motivate me and it gave me an idea to everyday write inspirational or something motivational in a journal so really pick myself up and to tell myself that I will get there it will just take time.

If you are struggling with your future goals and what you want to do for the rest of your life then just remember you have time, there is no rush, this is the rest of your life and it's a massive decision. I am finally on the right track to getting where I want to be, slowly but surely. I recommend to everyone feeling like they don't know what they want to do to contact Connexions/Positive Steps or whichever careers service you have local to you because they are there to help you and trust me they will. 

If you read this and you want advice or someone to talk to, check the contact page for my email and I'd be happy to chat to some of you.
