find my bliss

A good friend of mine advised me one night to find my passion and go with it. At 21, I am still uncertain what I want to do with my life. There are certain things that I really like, but do not know if these are just superficial or if I can grow to love these things. Therefore I must find my passion, my bliss.

I wish I was more articulate and could explain why I think I have achieved this for the most part. I just don’t have the words. So I guess be happy for me and keep following your own path.

I have figured it out (well from listening to a wise man). I now realize I do not need to be “happy” all the time. I am most definately not “unhappy” which makes me happy! Make sense?! Yes yes it does! I am not unhappy which in itself makes me content and happy!

~Joseph Campbell

Some days I am so close I can taste it, other days I let stupid crap get in my way.

On a more shallow note, I have found something that makes me profoundly happy and I tend to follow it with my whole heart.

I don’t think people ask themselves this question enough. We are groomed to follow convention and live as expected, but that does not equal happiness.

I’m going to ask myself this question more and hopefully find my bliss…

“When you follow your bliss… doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else.” Joseph Campbell

I believe him, just have to figure out how find these doors.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m studying for the right reasons, or if I didn’t just get into it beause of my parents and their hopes and dreams for me. Dont get me wrong, they never pushed me into anything, but I think that my fear of displeasing them had a huge role in the matter.
I’m in 2nd year architecture, and altough I’ve always loved art and design, I dont think I would have ever chosen it as a career choice had it not been for my father.
In all honesty… I cant see myself as a professional architect, doing this for the ret of my life.
I’m not going to drop out- that’s for sure, but after my 3year basic degree I want to go and travel and see what my options are and I’ll make my decision from there.

...my absolute DREAM JOB is what you see on those travel channels. Travelling to exotic and remote countries, experiencing the architectue, the history, the people, the culture, the food, the night life!!! That is THE LIFE!

But we’ll see what happens..
i’ll do what i need to do… and the rest shall follow .. THE BLISS

I have been unemployed far too long.. going on interview after interview..temp job here and there….I am getting run down
