fully commit to what I want in life

I have passed one of the biggest hurdles for myself—being at peace with making a big decision that other people in my life might not be so happy with. I just graduated law school, and had a job lined up in the town I grew up in. But, the guy I am seeing is going to be starting school all the way across the country, and I am going with him. Additionally, I am not taking a bar exam in July, I am going to wait until February to do it. I am going to spend the summer reading and doing all the fun things I never have time for. After we move in August, I am going to find a volunteer position until December, and then study for the bar exam. And I am happy with this decision, even though it was hard and my parents aren’t so pleased.

So many of my goals intersect with each other. Part of working in this goal is going to be to stop procrastinating, because procrastination is a way of ruining my chances to excel at things that I really like. Finding my talent, living passionately, finding my voice—all of these things are ways to commit to what I want.
