Personal Core Beliefs

I am adding a section to my resume page called "Personal Core Beliefs". I know that a lot of our decisions are based on what we believe, so if you have ever wanted to know what someone will do or say just look at what they believe right down to their core. Here is what I Believe...

Corey Pearce’s - Personal Core Beliefs

I believe that you should stand up for what is right,
and stand up to what is wrong.

A Choice

I just checked out my horoscope online and this is what it said, “Today you might have trouble making up your mind about something, Corey. You don't always do well when you have to make decisions under pressure. You might have to choose between two clients, two jobs, or two employees. Try to take some private time so that you can think this decision through. You might want to close your office door and meditate. Or you might want to call a mentor for some advice.” I shared this with you because last night a few friends of mine stopped by last night, one of them a very long time friend who lives in the same building as my other friend who also came over. And is now my new business partner in a company called Hammer Down Media. I am now part owner of a web and graphic design company. Long with that we bought out own web site www.hammerdownmedia.ca. As an added bonus I have update my site and feel really good about it. My mind seems to be in a really good place, my place is cleaning up nicely, Just need to get back on to my health. I really think this it is slipping back down, which I don’t like at all.

Everyone Struggles

I have not written in my blog for a while now, and yes there is a reason for that. In my job I have been struggling. Currently I hate my job. Now for people who know me this may be hard to believe but it is true. It is not that I hate the work, please don’t get me wrong. I love working with the student. I am just getting frustrated and drained with dealing with some people, and just the way things seem to work. I feel like I am being targeted by some people, other people just make my job harder. I am at the point where I am getting my AZ license this summer and I hope to have a job driving a truck ASAP.

Now I know what some of you are thinking. “You being negative, you are no better than the people you are complaining about” and you’re right, well right now. I notice something yesterday when I was hanging out with a friend of mine and her child. Her son was talking about someone who was not being fair with him. He decided that he was just going to treat the other person the same way. My friend responded you don’t need to change, you are better than that. You don’t need to stoop to that level. I have been thinking about this a lot. I feel I have stooped to their level. I have allowed people to control my feeling and my thoughts. This is something I always tell the kids I teach at the Drum Corps never to do. I now know one thing I must change. Character can only be developed when it is being tested. I heard that somewhere, and if it is true I am currently failing in that department. So I am going to the job I know I can do. Period.

I know this is not a long term solution. It will not stop what is going around at work. I have listened to a lot of personal life coaches and motivational speakers. A few things that always stick out are “if you don’t like your job quite”. They say you spend a lot of your life at work and to spend most of your life unhappy makes no sense. “Find a job you love to do so much you would do it for free, and then do it so well people would be happy to pay you for it.” I had achieved this until the last little while. I need to get back to this! It just doesn’t make any sense that I have received job offers from two other school boards in Canada to work there, but in my day to day job I feel like no one cares. I have even been asked to put on workshops in other boards in Ontario for there Special Education Teacher, but at my job I feel like a pee-on. It is time to take my life back.

A Room With A View...

I am just getting ready for another busy week. There is something I did last night that I have never done before. In my room on my front wall are three large windows. That goes from my bedroom floor to the ceiling, as my bedroom looks over the bay. And last night as big, soft, gentle snow flakes fell from the sky. The view from my room was breath taking. I left the blinds on the window closest to my head open all night and every time I woke up I looked outside. It was amazing!

Feel The Magic.

Wow, I will never understand exam week, but I will make the most of it. I am going to have to go and get my shoulder looked at. Anytime I every real use it I get really sore. Right now I am at home waiting for my Brother to pick me up. We are going to see David Copperfield tonight. Our Mother got us tickets for Christmas, and yes my Mom is wicked killer awesome. Well I will be back after the show till then…

On My Way Back

It has been a very long time since I have written in my bolg, mainly because I have been fighting with one part of my life or another. The main problem I have been having is getting and staying organized and on top of all my projects. For the most part very happy but sometime as low as I could possible feel. I am working on both. I now have a little bit of time at work to collect my thoughts. I really need to get back on top of my projects, my fitness, my eating and my house hold. Well that is really I have to say right now but I will be back more often.
