The past 3 months have brought with them a lot of changes. My life has shifted gears as I am finally out of my house and into a new home on my own. Just as I was getting settled into my job at one assisted living facility; I received a promotion to Executive Director at another community. So, I took on the big roll scared but confident. It's time to be a big girl. So, hello world...
On my adventure to becoming a more independent "Kourtney," I have definitely experienced a case of the hiccups. Life's lessons seem to hit me hard but, I pick myself up and keep going. Lately, however; it appears that I am constantly picking myself up. Skinned knees and elbows leave scars. Those scars remind us of where we have been, the mistakes we have made, but most importantly how we overcame those mishaps. It is in those moments of weakness we find our strengths. The humility of the fall is not in the collapse itself but in getting up, dealing with the looks on the faces upon you, and pushing through the embarrassment. Because, in that second you will find the courage to finish the race. For it is not how the situation defines you. It is how you define the situation.
I continue to find a piece of myself in all the wrong and right choices I make. With work or in my personal life that is how I learn. Doubtful faces have been among me with this new position I have embarked upon. But, that only gives me the ammunition to demand more out of myself and work harder. I will forever be a student as new learning opportunities will present themselves to me every day of my life.
