I find myself so uncompelled to watch televisions shows because I know what is going to happen. I can predict the next scene and therefore the mystery is comepletely gone. As I think about this, why is it that in my own life I want to know it all, and better yet, I think that if i did have this knowledge that I would be happy....and the verdict is in and I am fooling no one. So now what, I am 23 in a career that most would say is successful, but yet very unfulfilling, and do not know what to do next. Is it wrong of me to think that I can be so good as to tackle a more challenging career, stocks, bonds, and being responsible for millions of dollars that doesn't even belong to me.
That's right, stock broker, I figure it is time to roll the dice and go for the win. I want to be able to wake up everyday and go to my job and say that I am excited about what is going to happen today. Please, do not get me wrong, I am not so naieve as to think that everyday is peaches and cream, but just the thought of my current career is unsettling.
I am calling this "MY QUARTER LIFE CRISIS." This is the time that i find out who I am and go get what I want. I recently read, MODITE, just an amazing post referring to the previous Governor of Texas and he said something that I hope i never forget.
"First of all, don’t be afraid to think bold and dream big, Failure is good, as long as you learn from it. As long as you don’t go cry in a corner, he said. As long as you take action from what went wrong."
This is enough to push me over the edge and get me jump started. I realize who I am and know I am capable of great things, but in the current situation I am not bettering myself. It is time to do something unfamiliar, risky, and just flat out scary!
