Don't let money distract you from your true goals! 

The temptation of 'good wages' may derail you from your true goals. I've experienced this myself recently. Getting good wages has made me feel like I have lost my freedom and my dreams. The workload has outweighed the wages. 

Not having the autonomy I'm use to has brought my spirit down to a level where I feel 'lost. Where is the woman who was writing a book? Several books at that! Where has my lightness and creativity gone to? I need 'her' back! 

My confidence is diminishing, like I don't know my own skills and strengths - and when this happens, this means it's time to go! Revisit and reflect my persona to retrace my steps. 

I'm better at being my own person than becoming a minion.....
