The winning formula

And following my last post on 'you've got this' .... here's some brief, direct and great advice. If you're reading this, you're on track. Breathe.

In the pursuit of success, it's not just about the destination but the journey itself. Embrace this formula, and you'll find that success becomes not just a destination but a way of life. Keep pushing forward even on the toughest days, and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve. 💪🌟 #SuccessFormula #Courage #Discipline #Persistence"

For most people, this formula might evoke building a business. But that makes me think of building a #mindfulnesspractice.🧘🏻♀️ If you need help with the latter, feel free to reach out to me.😊 #dedication #mentalhealth #selfcare #timeforyou

You may have seen my post about being a Security Supervisor for Allied Universal. You might be wondering why. Aren't I an IT guy? Yes, I am. I've just taken a break. My first three years in IT felt...wrong, somehow. I couldn't place the feeling at first. All I knew was that I wasn't where I should be. I didn't have 5+ certs like my colleagues did. But it turns out that I just needed to improve my work ethic. Now, working 55-70 hour weeks in the physical security industry, then coming home to take care of my home and family, I have a much better appreciation for 40-60 hour work weeks. I realize now that I was lucky before. Full-time work is a fair sight better than all-time work. All-time work leaves no time for hobbies, friends, or self-improvement. You're just treading water. But that's not to say that it's all been a waste. I've learned a lot about myself over this last year with Securitas & Allied Universal. I've learned better time management. I've gained leadership skills. I've become more firm but fair. And most importantly, I've found God. I am ready to take these skills and traits back to IT. It'll take some doing, I know. My competition hasn't taken a year-long break. My competition hasn't let certs lapse. My competition hasn't stopped networking. But I'm confident that I can make it, and be a sysadmin/tier 3 support within 5 years or so. https://lnkd.in/gmqZHgsQ

This is so powerful!!

Unsolicited PSA for the week: Folks, I can't believe I have to say this. I can't believe anyone has to say this, especially to people who are otherwise perfectly reasonable or even wonderful people. But the singular pronoun for non-binary individuals you should always default to, if you haven't explicitly been instructed otherwise, is not "it". It's "them" or "they". No, these are not exclusively plural pronouns: "Someone dropped their wallet! I'll turn it in for THEM." If I didn't already know better, I'd genuinely believe that the use of "it" is a willful and deliberate act of malicious reduction, denial, and dehumanization (as I'm sure it unfortunately often is). But I also now know that perfectly well-intentioned folks with functional brains and EQ somehow fall into this trap. If you're doing it on purpose: the world sees you for what you are. If you're not: please friggin stop and think for a second.
