Are you taking care of yourself?

In the last one year I have been making these questions to myself several times:

- Am I happy with my career?
- Am I driving in the correct road?
- Am I leading my way to the success?
- Am I doing what I love to do?
- Do I know my strengths and weaknesses?

Well, most of us, I think we fail to take a lead in our career, objectives and life. We aim to achieve our objectives and goals, however most of the time without any direction or self-analysis of what we are doing or what we want to achieve.

In my case, the worst happened during the journey I forgot my real goals and desires (for some time), but fortunately I am back to the road!

I am going back to Brazil on 11st September, after some time in UK studying, teaching and working in commercial projects for several companies. I completed an MSc in Strategic Marketing and for a short period of time, I got the conviction or the feeling that an academic route would be a good move, but I was wrong.

I want to go back to the industry, as a marketing manager to work in challenge and stressful assignments, to achieve great results, to fail, to succeed, to learn more, to know more people, to lead teams and do what I most love! I am sure I will be myself again and progress in my personal and professional life!

This is the message: Do not leave the life drives you! You are in control! You decide what to do with your life and not others! Be brave and keep going!
