On my way to life to the full

What will it take to realize my full potential?

I work for a great company right now (Wells Fargo). My pay as a teller is meager, but the benefits are good. I would say that in the five months that I've worked there, I've had my ups and downs.

Most challenging to me was balancing my cash drawer at the end of the day. I must admit I never handled so much cash before. Aside from not being familiar with the system, I wasn't familiar with the coins as well. I can still remember how my heart would stump wildly when a customer was depositing so much cash and coins. It seemed to me that they sensed my trouble and that made me all the more nervous.

On a good note however, my manager did tell me that there was a remarkable improvement on my balancing the past few months. I just need to keep on doing the system that works for me.

My sales are doing great. On my first and second quarters, I reached silver on my sales goals. On the latter quarter, I actually had the most sales among the tellers of our branch (although I was not at the top of the chart because sales are weighed based on hours worked too). This first quarter of 2008, things are looking up. I'm hoping to go for gold, and I know that with hard work, and of course with God's help, nothing is impossible.

Despite the successes I've seen in my job so far, something tells me I'm meant to do something more. I am made to influence people and help them become better individuals. I am made to lead, probably not corporations and groups, but individuals. I want to help people transform and become successful.

But I am yet to see that in my own life.

I am yet to see myself break down the barriers of mediocrity, procastination, lack of direction, half-heartedness, laziness, and doubt. I need direction. What is the career that will permit me to do what my heart desires to do? What are my options? Where do I start?

I need help. I hope that someone could read this and become my mentor. I need one.

For the meantime, let me finish this book I just started, "Lessons from a headhunter...with a heart." It's written by Patricia Comeford, J.D., and Gina Sauer, J.D. The first few pages have been interesting so far. I am thinking of e-mailing them and getting their advice.

It seems to me like they went through what I'm going through right now. That is important to me.

I'll keep you updated with what I'm learning.

Ciao for now.
