What direction do I go? As I approach a benchmark year in my life, I still find myself wandering a road to which I no no where it leads. To many people that would seem a bit scary. Well, to be honest, it scares the hell out of me as well. I have some people pressuring me to accept my life for what it is and move forward. On the other hand, I have some people that encourage the unknown and embrace the surprises that life may hold.
I feel as if I accept my situation in life as the status quo I will miss that big opportunity in my life to do something meaningful and make a change. On the other hand, maybe I have unrealistic expectations for myself. I have a hard time believing that we are here to just be average. I have this desire to be great... The only thing is that I have yet to find that opportunity. I don't consider my job a career. It's very unfulfilling yet it more than meets my basic financial needs. Without it I would not be able to survive, and there lie the rub. How do I break the cycle of work to live, live to work.
For any of you that actually read this.. I apologize for the ramble. This is just me working out my life with the demons in my head. It always helps to air it out and think it through. So I bid you adieu for the night and leave my thoughts to the universe as my friend Jack wearing the black label and I sort out life's greatest mysteries.
Hi Will-You already know what I think :) It takes great courage to even ask these questions. What can you do to start exploring options? You already have the desire to move your life in a different direction but you are the only one who can. Those that love you will support you in your dreams as best they know how.
