When I sit in front of the mirror, I think first of what I’m good at.
Even as I think about a new path in front of the salon mirror, I find myself wondering if I should stick with what I’m good at.
Scenes
- I think first of what I’m good at. — Sitting in the salon chair and choosing a hairstyle, I find myself wondering if my next path should be something I’m good at, too.
- There’s a style I like — As I flip through the photos, one style holds my gaze. But when it’s time to choose, I mention the one I know how to maintain.
- Being told you’re good at it counts — When considering a career, what you’re good at is a skill you’ve already put to use. What you enjoy is a clue to whether you have the drive to keep at it.
- Today, write them down separately — When you get home, write one line about what you’re good at and one about what you’d like to try more of. Then notice which one comes to mind first.
- Find where they meet — What you’re good at can give you a place to start, and what you enjoy can point toward where you’d like to go. Try looking for work where the two meet.
