A quandary...

That thing in the INFP description that explains that we can become confused and paralyzd when it come to what to do with their lives... I'm dealing with some of that right now.

I'm looking to increase my income, because one of my part-time positions has been a disappointment as far as producing work. That leaves me part-time at one pension company and part-time with the newspaper. I want to keep doing both, but I need more income over the long-term, and I am thinking I might like to add on by doing something totally different from anything I have done before.

The problem is, I'm not sure how to go about searching for something like that, and so I feel stuck at the moment-- which goes back to the INFP description. In a way, it's comforting to know that this difficulty is something that has to do with my personality, because it doesn't feel so much like a personal weakness. But I don't want that to prevent me from moving forward with my search, whatever form that takes.

I've been a bit spoiled in recent years. Things that I end up doing have mostly found me rather than the other way around. I know I can't rely on that happening though.

But how do I look for something when I can't even identify what it is? I have looked through the classifieds in the newspaper to see if they give me any ideas. But there aren't as many there as there used to be, and nothing has jumped out.

Maybe I should find a career coach? I don't know.

I don't like feeling paralyzed. And I feel as though I have more to give, and I want to follow through on it. It bothers me that I don't know what that would be, and that I don't know how to find it.

I don't mean to sound so negative. I can't complain overall. But I would sure like to at least make some progress on this...
