Inner Dialogue

I was reminded today that i do have connections, that I do have a network that I have developed, and even though I have not taken advantage of that, it is there should I need to. Once before, when I was backed into a corner and felt there was no way out, I got an email that gave me the same reminder and shook me out of my self-imposed depression and into action. I was able to connect with that network, who in turn connected with their network, and managed to pull together enough opportunities to make it through a very difficult time.

I'm not in a corner now, not at the moment anyhow, but I am facing some decisions that might change the direction I am currently heading in. Part of the distress around the current circumstance has been not being able to envision other opportunities, other ways to use the talents that I have to do what I love. Tonight I spent several hours talking with a friend who indirectly reminded me that I am part of a larger network, social and professional, and that there are those who would be happy to help me make the connections I might need in the future. "Ask the impossible question" he said, because you never know what answer you might get. Even if the outcome isn't what you immediately expected, you have no idea where it might lead down the road. They are there if I need them.
