From the very beginning, it seems as though we are constantly being asked questions like, "What do you like to do," or, "What is your dream job?" I don't know about the rest of you, but those kind of questions always gave me a feeling of anxiety. They still do. I always feel pressured to have a concrete answer for those questions. The answer "I don't know" never seemed acceptable, even if it was the truth. Making something up for the time being always seemed easier than getting a look of concern or disapproval from someone if you said you didn't know.
Each and everyone of us has a purpose. We were all put on this Earth for a reason. The first half of our life has a lot to do with discovering. We discover what we like and don't like, the kind of person we are, and, if you're lucky enough, you discover exactly what you were put on this Earth to do. As for the rest of us, who were dealt a different hand of cards, we spend a little bit more of our time discovering.
Just because some of us don't know exactly what we want to do with our lives does not make us any less passionate or motivated than those who do know. In fact, I think it makes some of us more motivated, and instead of having just one passion we have several.
It has taken me awhile to accept the fact that I don't exactly know what I want to do. I have also accepted that that is God's plan for me. Maybe the reason for my place on this Earth was to keep discovering and to keep finding more and more passions. I may not know exactly what I'm going to do, but there is one thing I do know. I will not settle. I will not settle for a job just so I can say, "Oh this is what I want to do." If I have to change jobs five times before I find one that ignites my soul, then so be it. I will enjoy my time discovering until then. If I have to spend the rest of my life discovering, I will.
I will not settle, and neither should you. It's perfectly okay if you don't know what you're doing, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
