When I grow up...

I am a soon to be college grad. The proof is in the pudding (I filled my grad check today). As of today, I still don't know "what I want to be when I grow up."
When I was younger, I had a hundred different answers to that age old question. One day I wanted to be an author. The next a fashion designer or a magazine publisher or a bookstore owner.
I guess I have always seen my life as something with infinite possibilities.  I truly believe that I can do anything that I want (within reason).
Because there are so many different jobs and places where I could end up, I don't really know what I want to do. 
This is what I do know. I know that I need a job where I can be creative and utilize my organizational skills. I know that I don't want to work in a boring office job as a receptionist. I know that I enjoy learning, so I love any job that is constantly teaching me new things. I know that one day I will figure it all out. It won't be today. It won't be tomorrow. It probably won't even be this year. However, one day, I will know.

  1. Go with what you know! Don't let people's fears talk you out of manifesting your dreams. You don't have to know where you are going. Aim in a direction that meets your heart today and enjoy the wonders and lessons each day has for you.

    Ever wonder why people spend so much time being concerned with the past, when it's gone for ever...and with the future, when we aren't even guaranteed another day? There is so much available to us in the now.

    Why am I saying all of this to you?

    You seem to have balance, a high perspicacity and an obvious affinity for creation. I wish that someone had said these things to me when I was 22 and wanted to be creative.

    Create and appreciate every day and it is likely you will manifest more beauty, wonder and love than you currently recognize exists.
