    Too many option 3 months ago

    The problem is not finding what I’m passionate about, it’s that there are just too many things! I have jumped around trying out new activities and jobs, but every time I start to get really good at something, I tend to overdue it and burn out due to my “all or nothing, 110%” personality. I’ve (hopefully) learned from my mistakes by now, and so just need to choose something and stick with it no matter what. Here’s my all encompassing list of what I enjoy the most and could find meaningful doing:

    1. Renewable energy
    2. Endurance sports/health & fitness
    3. SCUBA diving
    4. Surfing
    5. Hospitality
    6. Travel writer

    The biggest hurdle I have at the moment comes in the form of finances (like most). I have a lot of debt from school, as I intended to have a career in my degree to pay it off. Do I work to pay it off at a less than ideal job, and then make a jump to my true passion? Or do I spiral further into debt and take a chance that my passion will eventually get me a meaningful income to become debt free?

    I’m still not sure how. So I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing for now, I guess.

    What do I want to be???? 5 months ago

    When I was younger I wanted to be a singer. I went to university to be a primary/elementary teacher but quit. Then I went to college and completed the Office Adminstration program. I now have a full time permanent job in an office. Some days I like this job, other days I’m bored to tears and desperately want something more challenging. I am lucky enough to be able to take one university course for free every term. I’m slowly working towards a Criminology certificate but is that what I really want? Who knows? Not me. Even though I have a permanent job I will not be in this position until I retire. By the way, I’m 23 and have been working at this job for less than 2 years. I feel like I’m meant to do something else, I just don’t know what that something else is yet. I can’t take the risk to leave my job until I know exactly what I want. I don’t know when that will be. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I hate my job because I don’t. I just don’t look forward to going to work anymore. Oh my…..

    I suppose I should be more specific in this. My day job isn’t awful – it’s boring and repetitive, but it makes me enough to live on, and my work environment is pretty great. The problem is it feels meaningless, and I want my days to be spent in a way that feeds my soul as well as my bank account. Writing could be that thing, but there’s so much pressure involved in publishing that I’m not sure I could (or would want to) write full time without losing my love for it. I have this feeling, deep down, that there’s something I should be doing—Work as well as work.

    Would be nice to find something that challenged me and I looked forwarded to doing every day.

    but this is the book i am reading right now:

    http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=9780060823221

    i have concluded that this is the greatest book ever written. i’m not talking great literature, but i am talking about philosophy. reading it makes me feel like what i want to do (say screw it all) is truly possible.

    Found One 9 months ago

    I am a mentor to youth offenders. It is rewarding knowing I have helped a young person improve their lives, have better self esteem and build bridges with the love ones they sometime hurt. The best part of all is helping them to see that a life of crime is no life and that they do have choices.
