Fear causes hesitation
For the past 20 years or so, I have often thought about going back to school or changing careers, but always told myself that I couldn’t. I guess I was hesitant of the change or the difference in salary. I was laid off in the beginning of 2011, after 14 years at the same company. After a few months I realized that time is now. I needed a change, a new direction. Something bigger, something better.
When I heard that The Chef’s Academy was opening in Morrisville, something just “clicked”. I love to cook. I love food. I’ve been eating all of my life. It had my name written all over it! Fear set in as I enrolled, but something was pushing me to do it. After a few days I was very comfortable with the facility, the instructors and the staff. My fellow students were just as eager and excited as I was. I knew that this was the right move for me. It’s week 5 and I’m loving every minute of it. I look forward to the endless possibilities and opportunities that lay ahead.
Don’t let your fears control your actions. Life is what you make it and that’s a beautiful thing.
