Chronic pain eases with a career change
Imagine living in constant pain, unable to speak, and getting progressively weaker as a nerve disorder limits the ability to act and move. This week I talked to a woman who moved out of real estate sales, and became a massage therapist. She told me of the great joy that she had working with a client with Lou Gehrig’s disease. My friend was able to ease pain and make life easier for the afflicted client.
My friend spoke of the deep satisfaction she feels in launching her new career. She enjoys making a personal connection with people, conveyed by touch and enhanced by feeling. She has regular work, new perspective on how other people live, and no regrets in moving away from the income opportunities she had in real estate. She spoke of her life, her daughter, and the people she sees regularly, and is happy to have launched this new phase of her life.
I am cheered by many of the stories of career reinvention that I hear regularly. Have you gone through a career change? I would like to hear your story too.
