probably my biggest and most important “thing” for myself, by myself, it’s all me baby. My life will be complete when this happens. Probably will take a wicked long time but it’ll be worth the wait.

Went to a few talks and did some reading. I guess I really need to figure out what my core “values” are but I honestly have no idea right now (well, some idea but not a ton.)

I am on my way to applying to stockbroker trainee positions. It’s got me thinking about how odd it is that the things I’m actually interested in are highly valuable. For example, before I was a math major, I was a women’s studies major (which is very undervalued). It turned out that I didn’t love it as much as I loved math. People value math almost too much. It makes life easier, but that’s not why I chose it.

In my journey to figure out what I wanted to do, I have stumbled across a lot of creative jobs that are undervalued, yet I appear to be drawn to another job that tends to pay well. I’m not concerned about being pad well, but here I am feeling passionate about something else that makes life easier.

Most people assume that you can either choose a difficult job that you love and pays poorly or an easy job that you hate and pays well. I appear to have stumbled upon an exception.

Tonight I made the tastiest food: chicken with onions and fingerling potatoes and waaaay too much tarragon, and “Mexican” chocolate pudding- sugar, cornstarch, espresso powder, milk and just a hit of Kahlua.
I want to spend the rest of my life telling stories about sadness and stories about peaceableness.
I want to spend the rest of my life chasing something greater than myself on roundabout byways.
I want to spend the rest of my life making this kind of progress.

I’m currently doing a business degree. But duping people into buying useless products because of the way it is marketed doesn’t seem to fit in with my morals…i’m noticing that more lately.

I feel as though every career path i look at doesn’t fit in with what i believe; and making money from something i love, like creating art, seems to turn my hobby/passion into some empty money making scheme. Have any of you felt like this before?

I’ve readed that you have two big crisis in your life: the first when you are young and you are thinking “what the hell I will live for” and another when you are old and think “what the hell I have done with my life”.

First, the feeling of doing something that worth the efforts. The second, to know that I lived and people around you could enjoy your existence, you could go in peace because you helped to make the place you lived a better place.

Unfortunately, I’m going through the first crisis. The first step, in my opinion, is to decline everything that goes against what I like.

I’ve quited my job and I’m entering in a totally diferent and competitive area, where I’m now the newbie. It feels scarying, it feels exciting

Guys I need your opinion on all my options this is option one

I kept this one at the bottom of the list cause I know That it wont happened it a short period of time tomorrow I wont get up and shout Eureka I found what I want to do rest of my life. I found interesting tips from the site so I am gonna put it as my first entry to work on these guidelines. Thank you guys for your tips

How I did it: It took me years to get out of the “it doesn’t pay enough” groove. Once you can realize that money really, truly IS the root of all evil and that you can’t buy happiness, this becomes so much easier. Instead of thinking, “that pays a lot… I could live doing that”, think “the pay isn’t wowing, but I couldn’t live without doing that”.

Lessons & tips: Write a list of all the things (hobbies, activities) you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life and apply it to a real career!
Resources: My family and friends

How I did it: I always knew but kept being distracted by outside expectations. Then, I learned “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.(- Audre Lorde)”

Lessons & tips:

• Don’t focus on what you “should do,” according to what others say your skills and talents are.
• Look at what you do for free, just because it makes you happy.

thinkin abt it ..gives me d creeps wat if… do something which i dont wanna ..doing something just because i had to in that situation .
