A letter to my Inner Career Compass


Dear Inner Career Compass,

I thought you were supposed to accompany my goal orientation, help me to make my career moves and draw my heart closer to a pathway which I can call my own. But instead you have left me unable to trust that the direction you are pointing me in is the right one. And why should I trust you? You are after all only concerned about Maria's own needs. This may have worked well in the past but I have husband now and I'd like to prepare for at least a couple more additions to the family. Aside from being utterly selfish you are also unbelievably slow. The directions that you give have to be translated from feeling to thought to deed in order to be recognised. This is made even worse by the fact that you keep changing direction which every hypothetical magnet that I am near to, friends, family, peers - current, future and past. I am waiting for you to point me towards somewhere utterly unexpected and different, completely illogical and unexplained. Only then will I know I am not getting my goal mixed up with somebody else's. 

I look forward to hearing back from you. 

Regards,
Maria
