Understand your worth!

So many holidays and events have occurred since I've last blogged, I wanna wish y'all a Happy Black History Month and I hope you all are keeping those families in Florida in your thoughts and prayers! I will make a separate post on that, so stay tuned for more information coming soon! Anyways, in one of my first posts of my blog, I talked about gathering more internship or job opportunities that would bring me more experience in my field. It becomes exhausting grabbing small jobs for quick cash and some security, and I wanna boost my resume with something great! Unfortunately, my patience has been wearing thin and I WAS ready to just take anything, so I applied to some regular jobs to get things going. I had an interview yesterday and it went very well, the woman I spoke to seemed to be heavily interested in everything I was saying. I was right to walk out of there as confident as I was, because this afternoon she called me with a job offer, there's just too many things that don't sit well with me. First thing, the hourly wage is too low for me, and I'm somebody who practices leveling up from each job and making more money with the next opportunity. Secondly, it's a bit of a commute from my house, and if I'm leaving late at night I'm going to regret it each time, and lastly I just really wanna push for something better. With everything I've done for myself these last few months, such as starting my blog and arranging photoshoots for my modeling aspirations, I've seen and understood my capabilities so much more. It's not in me to settle for anything, and when you understand your gifts and talents, you want to receive the very best out of them. With this in mind, I don't think I'm gonna take the job, it's so much more than money to me, I see true success as more of where your mental state lies, not just financial. This doesn't shame anyone at all for having a first level job, I've had many of them before and when you're young it's the easiest thing to get, there's nothing wrong with it! I'm just in a position where I want more, I'm looking for more, and I'm doing more. Overall, understand that your gifts and talents are special, and don't just accept the bare minimum, life is all about leveling up!
