Like with any persons who want to go on Linkedin to find careers that they have a passion for, I really face a dilemma of whether I can survive just on passion alone. I did conquer my fear of going back to work by making a transition to face Managers and colleagues after my 6 months of honeymoon like training ended.
I had a 101 doubts about my ability to handle real clients with real needs. I felt that passion alone cannot replace the real fear of having to deal with messy and difficult human beings who have emotions. I went from dealing with theories from looking at excel data all day to dealing with people all day. I was downright anxious about making such a huge leap from stoning in front of computers to standing in front of the classroom.
I survived the first two months as I made the transition. And I am glad I took the social risk of having to work for a Manager. Today is a special day as it is the first time in my career I received a message personally saying I have improved and became an effective teacher. It rebuilt my confidence and restored my soul.
People can be difficult and messy and they can cause you to be fatigued and burnt out. But they can be sweet and loving at the right time uplift you and help you survive a difficult storm(hurricane) etc
