“Am I going through work frustration, motivation, or a combination of something else altogether? ”

I woke up the other day from a dream about ants 🐜.

I don’t like bugs.

I know that they all have a purpose on our beautiful planet, BUT I don’t like bugs.

Truth be told, I don’t like to have dreams either.

You can imagine my annoyance in my dream.

This dream was after battling with insomnia until 4:30ish this morning.

I decided to look up what it means when you dream about ants.

Ants symbolize “hard work” and “perseverance.” To dream about them supposes that there is a work annoyance or motivation that a person is experiencing.

As I thought about the meaning and what I have been going through the past several months, this dream took on a new meaning for me.

When I dream it always has a deeper meaning. I decided to dive deeper into the message of the ants.

As I am closing in on my next birthday milestone, I often ask myself “What do you want, Desiree?”

I asked myself “Am I going through work frustration, motivation, or a combination of something else altogether? "

There are so many exciting things that are happening in my professional career and in my business.

I have dabbled as an entrepreneur since I was 18 years old.

It wasn’t until I turned 40 and a major life crises' entered my life that I decided to really pursue it passionately.

Nothing in my path of business ownership except time, growth and change could prepare me for the opportunities I now have.

What I realized is that I have been experiencing a major transition in clarity of purpose and aligning the work I do.

I found that I’m not alone. Many GenX feel the same way.

As I think back to my internal fire, always wanting to be something more for my life, I wonder what I’d do if I experienced what the graduating Class of 2022 of Clark Atlanta University received at their commencement.

I recently learned about what Pinky Cole, Founder of SluttyVegan ATL gifted the 2022 graduating class of Clark-Atlanta University with their own LLC as a graduation gift.
