If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up. ~J.M. Power
Goals are something everyone at one point has. They're not always easy to detect and some of us still aren't even quiet sure of what they are. My goals have changed so many times, but it's all about the process of growing up and finding yourself. That in itself is a struggle, and the simple act of finding out who you are is a success. I'm still not sure of exactly what I'll end up doing, but that's OK. I've never been that person to sit around and not do anything. I want things out of life and I go for it full force. Ever I since I was 16, I started to work at my school in the student store and picking up different jobs. I always had a thing for retail, so my major was business. Over time I have thought of other possibilities criminal justice being a cop, the medical field being a nurse. Till finally one day I just thought about how so many people came to me about their problems and for advice. I knew I wanted to give psychology a try. So now here I am back in school, getting the education I need to learn as much as I can about psychology. With this field there is endless opportunities for careers. My goal is to go for my PH.d and eventually figure out what field of psychology I would like to enter. I know we all tend to stray from our goals and life can happen differently but no matter what I won't give up.
Wow! It takes courage and conviction to change your major after you spent so much time getting your AS degree then changing it. Obviously one of your goals in life is to be happy with your career and creating a life that you enjoy no matter how long it takes. You are obviously dedicated to your goal since it is one that is filled with years of education and using what experience you might gain. My word of advice is to always enjoy the journey it takes to reach your goal. Never get up each day without living it in the present and finding the beauty in it. Goals are great but its who we are and what we accomplish during adversity that makes who we really are.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that goals do have something to do with finding yourself and growing up. I think it's great that your work hard and always making sure you stay busy, i think it's a very important quality to have in life. I know what you mean though, i dont know how anyone can just sit at home and be lazy all day. It feels so weird to be unproductive. I think it's great that you gave a word of advice on our blog post as well, that was smart and thoughtful. I do wish you well in the future with your career and hope and you pursue psychology.
