    discovering my passion 1 day ago

    i’m committed to finding my passion. i’ve gotten so wrapped up in my career i forgot about my creative side, the expression of writing for one. i don’t know totally what i want to do yet but i know it will have something to do with writing creatively. i’ve been doing some research & testing myself on different topics & subjected myself to challenges. one of my 2010 goals is to discover myself fully. to understand what makes me tick. to be completely honest with myself & my thoughts, desires & visions of what i want to accomplish during my life. some self reflection & examination of what’s next for me.

    “Life is an adventure to be lived, not a problem to be solved.”

    That is how I truly feel about this, and I must remember this and that it is supposed to be this way in the times that I’m feeling frightened and unsure and be at peace.

    This is complete in it’s incompletion.



    Truly a challenge 5 days ago

    You ever have that feeling of standing beside yourself & ultimately thinking this is not my life! This is not where I ment to end up. I wonder how I got here & the steps I took to come to this peak performance.

    I know I want to be happy with what I do.
    I know I want to find what makes me passionate.
    I know I want to make a difference.

    I want to change the direction that things are going. It will take some soul searching & self examination. I am hopeful & need to be very honest & sincere with myself. This will truly be a challenge for me. Uncovering the layers of my hopes, dreams, desires & self expression…ulimately not holding back any fears I may have.



    clavtriplet wants to acomplish 5 things on her list by next year!

    Becoming a believer 1 week ago

    Its been a long time since i had the guts to get back on this site and look at my list of goals. The truth is, I just didnt want to face more disappointment. But im proud to say that now, i am on my way. I guess it takes a lot of disappointments, failures, and stress to get to this point but now that im here, i want to hold on to it as long as i can.

    This is not to say that i figured out what i wanted to do – its that i figured out not to be so scared or indecisive to do anything about it.

    Im one of those people who cant choose with so many choices, and for most of my life, I had other people push me into them. Now, Im making the decisions on my own, and its the hardest thing ive done in my life. All the responsibility falls on me and, I’ve got everybody else’s ideas of what i should working against me.

    I have to keep on saying to myself, its my life, so my way. I want to be happy and this is how i am getting to it.

    Well, I sent a letter to email address given at the ‘contact us’ page of the library, to ask for career advice when it comes to becoming a librarian.



    In the begining... 2 weeks ago

    Someone gave me a great image yesterday. We can pour a lot of energy into doing something. But that energy goes nowhere unless we create a vessel for it to gather and manifest. That vessel is our goals, our dreams, our statement of what we want our lives to be.
    I don’t know what that is yet. But it begins here. Right now, I begin to dream again, I allow myself to want something.

    Untitled 2 weeks ago

    I need to stop worrying about my future career and the job I am to have when I am older. It is getting to the point where it’s making me sick to the stomach, the worrying. The uncertainty and unknown. I need to remember that no matter what job I hold, it will not be all of me. Jobs are not all of anyone. Only a small part. And I need to remember that no matter where I end up, I will have had a journey that is all my own.

    I will change, my desires will change, my goals will change.

    Hmm.... 2 weeks ago

    Does figuring out that I should shy away from making a 5-year-plan and just going along with life as it happens a good plan? I think it is. It reflects my new attitude and is more liable to leave me open to possibilities.
