ever since i was a freshman in high school, i would tell myself what i was joing to be when i grew up. before i hurt my arm playing baseball, i wanted to be a professional baseball player. i wanted to own a skate shop/skatepark and just have fun forever. then i wanted to be a math teacher. i got to college and decided i wanted to work with children in some fashion. i'm currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in psychology. i wanted to have my own children's psychology practice. now i feel like i want to advance in the area of neurobiology.
my point is that whenever i told myself what i want to do with my future, i've always felt so confident. now, this isn't a pity post but a realization. i'll never know what it is i want to be until i realize what i am. and it's more than just what i am, it's who i am. maybe i'll stick with neurobiology, or i'll go back to wanting to teach, or maybe i'll do something i never imagined. my plan for each day is to ask myself three questions.
1. who am i?
2. am i proud of who i am?
3. if not, how can i make myself proud of who i am?
maybe this post will help you if you're confused. =]
