30 Days of Inspiration!
As someone who is funemployed and looking for my next career adventure, I’ve spent a lot of time on LinkedIn over the past few months.
Between the unique employment climate, and the ongoing layoffs impacting so many, especially in the conservation and humanitarian industries, my LinkedIn feed was feeling extremely heavy and I was feeling a bit hopeless and helpless.
I needed a little more inspiration, and decided to be that inspiration. I set a goal and committed to sharing a nugget of inspiration every day for 30 days. For the record, I’m an idealist, but not delusional… I know my little inspirational nuggets were just a drop in an ocean, but it was a good exercise for me as well. I received some encouraging feedback, made some wonderful connections, and had some amazing conversations, which was the exact inspiration I needed! Makes me thing of the saying - you get what you give!
Will I continue posting every day… I don’t think so, but I set a goal and I achieved it, and in the process created a little more positivity in my life. I will however continue to look for inspiration in every day and encourage others to do the same.
I think I’ll use the momentum created here toward another goal.
If we aren’t already connected on LinkedIn, feel free to connect with me here.
