Labor and Social Security Attorney, note, and side hustles. A story about me not wanting to let go of any of them.

While I say I am studying to be a Labor and Social Security Attorney, in reality, I have barely touched it lately.
The more I think I should do it, the more my feelings drift elsewhere.

I write on note every day.
Based on my experience in finance and as a Financial Planner, I am also exploring small services I can offer.
My current feelings are strongly directed toward those activities.

The Labor and Social Security Attorney studies, note, and my side hustles.
I don't want to easily let go of any of them.
Even if I cannot move forward with everything at once, there are things I want to keep holding onto.
I wanted to write a little about how I feel right now.

Right now, my heart is drawn to 'things I can do immediately'

Right now, what moves me most is my activity on note.
As an extension of that, I am thinking about whether I can create some kind of service that helps people by leveraging my strengths in
FP and financial knowledge.

If I write on note, it reaches someone immediately, and there is a response.
I also feel that by taking stock of the experience I have, my services are starting to take shape in a small way.
That is precisely why my feelings are currently leaning more toward 'creating services' and 'posting' rather than 'advancing my studies'.

I know it myself.
Perhaps I currently want to work on 'things I can set in motion immediately'.
Things where I can feel small results or changes, even in a short amount of time.

The path to becoming a Labor and Social Security Attorney is a long one. That is why I haven't quit.

If you ask whether I have given up on the Labor and Social Security Attorney qualification, the answer is no.
In fact, the more I think about the future, the more I feel that I 'absolutely want to obtain it'.

My career after I quit my current job.
What kind of expertise do I want to have after my child-rearing duties settle down?
What kind of way do I want to be working in 10 years?
When I think about that, the 'power of the qualification' of being a Labor and Social Security Attorney is a major weapon for me.

However, that is not something that can be achieved overnight.
It is not an exam you can pass immediately, nor is it something that yields results right away.

That is exactly why I must be patient, yet steady.
Even if it is just 'one page a day,' I will open the textbook.
Even at that pace, the fact that I 'have not quit' is significant to me.

I am living on three time axes

I am currently living within three time axes.
・'The me of tomorrow' wants to write on note and share my thoughts with someone.
・'The me of one year from now' wants to be able to work using my own skills, even if I have quit my current job.
・'The me of ten years from now' wants to be someone who can offer advice to others as a Labor and Social Security Attorney, utilizing my expertise.

Writing it out like this, all of these are truly important to me.
But I cannot do everything perfectly at the same time.
That is why I am making the choice to 'set priorities'.

However, I am not 'letting go,' but rather 'deciding the order and keeping them all'.
I strongly want to be that way.

I won't discard any of them. I will nurture them little by little.

My posts on note, creating services as an FP, and studying to be a Labor and Social Security Attorney,
all have meaning for me.
It is not about which one is the correct answer or which one is more important,
but rather that they all form a 'line connecting the present to the future'.

For now, I will devote my time to what moves my heart.
At the same time, to keep a long-term perspective, I will also set aside time, even if it is small, for 'time for my future self'.

I believe that is the most sincere way I can make choices right now.

Conclusion

Perhaps I didn't have many work achievements this past week.
But during my travel time for business trips and in the gaps where I could think alone,
I thought a lot about my way of working and my future career.
In that sense, I think this week was a very important time.

Without rushing toward the future, but also without overlooking my current passion.
I want to cherish both the me of ten years from now and the me of tomorrow.
While keeping my eyes on both, I want to welcome next week.
