I’ve taken the short course and watched the videos, many of them a few times, and I still feel utterly lost.. I’m a Firestarter (Fireheart), with a Thriver secondary profile. The idea of working 40 hours a week is exhausting and the mere thought of someone else dictating my PTO/Sick days makes me furious. But, every time I try to think of a field or business to start and to jump into, nothing feels, “like me.” I have an diverse background, I’m 30 now, with a B.S. in psychology, worked as a support counselor, banking, personal training, and 2 office customer service jobs. I feel so drained each and every day and have no energy. I’ve taken so many courses to explore careers, quizzes, read articles..and I feel like I’m going in circles. Going to back to school to fork up more money is not in my view as I feel the states schooling system is broke and overly priced. I’m already struggling to make ends meet with a $500 month health insurance premium..and no savings… so spending extra money really isn’t an option for me.
So I try to look inside, and ask myself, ” When did I abandon my heart?” And I honestly can’t even remember when I felt alive and passionate about working. What else can I do? Where do I go from here?
Sincerely,
Struggling and StumpedHello!
I received your first “check in” email after purchasing PPSC to jump over to the forum, and I’m taking advantage to do just that!
I don’t quite remember the exact details on how I stumbled across the Clarity on Fire, Passion Quiz, but I know my life has not been the same since reading my results of being a Fire Starter. It took almost a year and half before I worked up enough courage to purchase PPSC ( after countless, personality quizzes, self help books, etc)..and I can’t even begin to describe the emotions I’ve experienced as I progress with the course. All my life, I’ve felt disappointed, discouraged, resentful, and honestly, such a hot mess jumping from office job to office job. Exact words in my journal describe me feeling, “like I’m in a prison cell”..and when I finished your Fire Starter Presentation video, everything just, clicked. This is me. A Fire starter. This is why I’ve been so miserable in countless cubical jobs. This is why, every single job posting I come across, feels exactly the same, miserable and defeating.
I’ve completed the beliefs and values section of the workbook so far, and I realize my beliefs have been severely limiting my ability to live a fulfilling life. ” Maybe I’m just an average person, and the world needs average people with no real dreams…chasing a dream would just be a waste of time and money, and likely just leave me broke and helpless.. Having my own business would be exhausting and I could never pull it off. I don’t have what it takes to own a business.” Admitting all of that is difficult, extremely difficult..but I’m so thankful to have finally have some answers.
I look forward to continuing the course to learn more about the different profiles, and continue on this wild journey. Will post again, I’m sure 🙂
