Taking a Leap to a Better Career Opportunity

I was public school teacher with a prospering career and steady income, enjoying all the good benefits with a definite and solid retirement plan. When I left teaching, I was a asked many times "Why did you leave teaching and become a massage therapist instead?"

Many were worried of me leaving a decent job and starting a new career that was unsure and vague. Building a clientele doesn't come as easy as pie. It takes time, money, effort and experience. Although these concerns were valid, the truth is that anyone of us who has a duty and responsibility of helping others do not expect to get rich for having to do so. We do what we do because we are driven by the innate value of making each other feel better in any way we can.

Most of us in massage therapy field will not become rich. Our won't be registered on the global scale of politics, economy or history. However, through licensure and success in massage therapy we are prosperous in a way. We are wealthy knowing that we know we made someone else's life better. 

We take part in a work that relieves pain and promotes relaxation everyday. People become more at ease, happier and are more relaxed, carrying those beautiful traits with them as they move on with their lives, and in turn, will affect everyone he/she interacts with.

For those who know that every single massage session could make someone else's world a better place, could also make their loved ones lives better, moving on into a cycle beyond what we could imagine. So, yeah! We won't make loads of money, however, we can leave behind a legacy of making this world a better place to live in.
