The key realizations I had was finding non-profits and low income housing as opposed to the market rate. I was ready to quit, walk away, and no longer do property management, no longer do anything in real estate based on some experiences that didn't settle well with me. And finding this was like a life preserver in the storm. I had no idea what it was about, went into it and found that I have limitless growth. There's limitless growth potential for every person. You can choose to stay in one area or grow and go wherever your fluid heart pours. Flows. Is it hard to get a job in my field? Not to get your foot in the door, such as desk clerk or administrative assistants, but the determination, getting up every single day and continuing on the path, might be a little more challenging. And isn't for everyone, the people but that do do it are really special and have a certain fit that works for them. The people that don't may have another fit that works for them somewhere else and go knock on that door. In a good way. I think all jobs require work life balance and finding the right fit for your particular lifestyle to balance with that. In this particular line of work, we're reinforcing growth and healthy boundaries, healthy lifestyles, and that reinforces within me, I cannot tell them, or preach to people, help people grow, if I'm not growing. I feel like the best way I can teach or show is through example. And taking that and having my time off, walking away from the office every day at lunch, as far as I can go, almost, to talk to the birds, to the trees. I come back and answers come to me that I wouldn't have had otherwise. And so that reinforces what I'm practicing all day, I have to practice at home, or I'd be a hypocrite. Or it wouldn't be balanced, we'll say. ","file":{"id":293988,"video_id":"2698560703001","name":"1042-Brenda-AsstOccupMgr2-LowIncomeHomeless","duration":126549,"thumbnail_url":null}});
