“you can choose to do what’s in your heart, you can bring your real work to the world, instead of a lesser version, a version you think the market wants. After all, what do you have to lose?” –>Seth Godin’s post lit a little fire inside me
Do something you love. Do something you love. Do something you love.
My dad, who’s a retired CA, has driven those 4 words down my throat for ages and here I am at school without a damn clue as to what I should do in life. I’m not really interested in anything that has to do with the business world.
Let’s jot down my interests:
- sports
- drawing
- painting
- extreme sports (i want to fly in a wingsuit before i die)
- nature
- reading
- and goofing off of course
I don’t really know where to go with my life, and honestly I don’t want to end up behind some desk writing a bunch of numbers down–what’s the point of living if I hate it? I’d rather be broke working odd jobs around the world skydiving or jumping off cliffs. It’s a little selfish of me I’ll admit because I do hope to one day have a family and raise my kids and my hobbies (or dreams) all require a decent amount of money, and basically the only way I can get a decent amount of money is with a good, stable job. When I have a good stable job, though, I won’t be out traveling or jumping off cliffs–I won’t have time for that because I’ll be locked down behind a desk, making money to give me a good post retirement. I don’t want to have a good post retirement–I want a good now. That’s my dilemma. I need to find something I’m really like doing and that I’m really good at so I can be happy my whole life not just post retirement.
Sorry for such a ramble.
