Life's a dance.. you learn as you go

Life as I once knew it has been altered completely. It has gone from doing one thing the fishing lure business.. pushing and climbing to the top of that industry, to now taking on so many directions sometimes I feel as though my head might spin off. And if I thought I was being challenged before, the joke is on me. Not only have I entered into two totally different businesses, for the first time in a long time, I am learning an industry I have no clue about.
First I was presented a job in the oil and gas industry. Couldn't have been happier to have the opportunity to work side by side with not only our business partners but my husbands family most importantly. This job was challenging to me because I had to be there at 7am sharp. Not only did I have to be there earlier than I was used to waking up since college, but it was a 45 minute commute. In my mind,for this opportunity that was definitely the small stuff and I wasn't about to sweat it. I got into my groove, and started to like waking up at the crack of dawn to arrive sharply at 7am. I was absorbing everthing anyone at the office had to offer about the business. Understanding more and more the process of how everything works. Easier than I ever imagined it could be and more glamerous than just crude oil. I was settling in nicely to my new gig and was really getting the hang of this incredible field.
Not two weeks go by and my husband comes home with something for me to think about. A new business partner that we have known for years, has an offer for me. How can this be, I just started this brand new opportunity, I thought this was the path that had been paved?? Not so clear now. This new offer sounded too good to be true and all for little ole me? After a weekend of careful thought and consideration, I decided I would just go and entertain the idea and see what the position really had to offer. Well the offer was more than perfect and could lead into a world that I have never tapped into. So before my logic could stop my emotions, I was all in. Except for the fact that I had just taken on a position that I could only dream about. What was I going to do?!? Pray. And I did just that. I prayed and prayed for the answer to this situation, definitely not a problem but sticky situation. A position created just for me in oil and gas, that I had just gotten my feet wet in, and this other position in the medical industry which could lead to something amazing. Where was my place in all of this.. I surely had no clue. Well the answer became clear and I knew what I had to do.
It was the end of the week and I had to let my "boss" know what was going on because the medical company needed me to start the very next Monday for training. I was nervous, anxious, and hesitant but I finally got the words out. And what I thought was going to be dissapointment and frustration turned into something inspiring and inspirational and that was the beginning of the end. I would continue on and pursue both industry's oil and gas and the medical field.
I am now in my second week at my new endeavor and feeling more comfortable than the first. I know each week will be easier than the previous, but I am learning more now than all four plus years of college and then some. But I have to always remember.. "life is an incredible dance, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.. don't worry about what you don't know.. you learn as you go."
