Living Life By a Calendar

Some people have their whole life planned out. Their life path has been written in stone either by their family or by them. They have it all mapped and down to a T. For them, there is rarely any uncertainties unless it is questioned by outer sources or their plan does not always go as expected.

I like planning, and I I plan things ahead. Such as travel plans over 6 months in advance. Thinking about my next vacation alwasy gets me excited. I enjoy figuring out where I am going, with who, and what my vacation will look like.

But to be fair, who is not excited for a nice vacation?

I was not the person who had everything down to a T. When I was in highschool I certainly did not have everything figure out. Senior year, I still did not know where I was going to college. I remember dreading applying to colleges. I really did not know what I wanted to do and where. The whole thing was so daunting. It was terryfing. I only really decided by April, when I traveled to Maryland, to Goucher campus. After that it became clear, and I knew where I was. It then took a while in what field I wanted to major in. I ended up choosing Business Management and International Business because the topic fascinated me, and also because I am very good at telling other people how I would like things to go.

I still am unsure of what I want to do next....I do love many aspect of business. I definitely want to get my masters in business. But who says, I can't get masters in other fields as well?

I can say that, my plans seem to be ever changing. I always get interested in more things. New subjects of things and projects, that I could see myself doing. Like actually taking my time to grow, things like this blog each week!!!!

As people change over the time, their dreams and long and short term goals change. Especially, from being a young child. Your career can change. Anything can change.

They say people change their career 7 times on average in their lifetime. In different fields and on different paths. When one door closes, another door opens.

I also think it's definitely okay to not always need to know what you want to do. It's okay to not have everything figured out. It's OKAY. You don't need to know it all...Trust time. Trust yourself. Just believe that you have so much potential and with that every day you can grow and do anything you want!

Sometimes, I need to remind myself of that. I have a plan for when I want things to happen. But it doesn't always work so well. Other factors and other things occur.. which can result in setbacks.

But then it's just important to take a step back and think, "why I am in such a hurry? Why do I feel like life is a race and I have to sprint to the finish line? What do i gain from rushing everything?"

Many say that if one rushes things... one misses out on the small things. The important things. The things right in front of you.

Honestly.. that is very true. The small moments also count, just as much as the big ones.

I want to explore the different short and long term goals that I have had in my life. Starting on what I thought I might be doing when I was a child, and how thats changed over time. Focus on the things I'm putting emphasis on and reflecting together, if that's the important. Or if maybe, society has it all wrong. We are thinking about our future, in all the wrong ways...

But one thing I know for sure...we have control over our own destiny and WHO decides that. Whether you live for others, or you are living for yourself.

Peace, love, and trust destiny and yourself,
