Contentment in the Now

We are often closer to the opportunities we once prayed for than to the tears we shed while waiting.

It took nearly two decades to find a sense of contentment in a job that I enjoy, one that offers flexibility and opportunities to serve. A student-focused environment, a shorter commute, and being surrounded by fellow educators who share similar interests have made the transition easier. Certain aspects of your current job may be frustrating but embrace the lessons and experiences as preparation for where you are designed to be.
