Do you ever ask yourself “What do i do with my life?” You are thinking about the upcoming years and not sure what step to take? Wondering if you follow the crowd will you even be happy? Should you go to college right away or should you take a year off in between to know for sure what area you would like to direct your future towards? Everyone keeps asking you the dreadful question, are you going to college? Where are you going to school at?
You feel like everyone knows what to do with their life besides you. There are some interests you have, but not sure you could possibly decide what you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 17-20 years old. You do not want to make a wrong decision or regret. You feel the pressure and know that time is ticking away, or so you feel.
First let me tell you that you are normal, and just because everyone appears to have it all together, it does not mean they do. No one likes to talk about uncertainty or letting friends in on the secret that they do not have a good idea of what direction they would like to have their life go. You do not have to know where you want to go in life, and you do not have to take the path most traveled. There is so much potential, but you first need the courage to be able to be honest with yourself and let the outside voices fade away. You are the only one that can make yourself happy.
Do not try to take this career path or that line of work because it is what is expected of you. If you’re truly not passionate about it, you will not be happy even if you are living well. Take some time alone and let yourself lead you to the correct answer. It may not look like everyone else’s but do what makes you happy. And please do not feel like you must know what you want to do forever; some of the most talented individuals have a career in something other than their degree. Life will unfold how it is supposed to be. Listen to yourself and not the outside world, then take the first step on the path to find the answer to “What do i do with my life?!”
