Do What You Love

My Dream Job
media.licdn.com

After several different types of jobs throughout the years, I have had time figure out what I really want to do with my life. I have come to the conclusion that my dream job would be making others happy. Now I know this sounds kind of funny, but the truth is that I find joy in seeing others truly happy. I ultimately want to leave an imprint in people's lives, regardless of the occupation I choose.

I've worked in the food business, nannied, and am currently working in a factory. Why I understand that having a job is a privilege for people my age, I have had time to reflect on what I truly want to do in life. While babysitting I got to experience the joy of a child and how much happiness I can bring people. When dealing with factory work and food service I realized quickly that this is something I do not want to be doing the rest of my life.

I am thankful for the experiences I have been given because it has shown me what I really want to do the rest of my life, regardless of the occupation I choose. I give credit to people who have the ability and talents to work in those career fields but I know my strengths. Being an outgoing, talkative, and bubbly person,my talents need to be put somewhere useful, and that would be to benefit others.

I think happiness is something that many people are searching for, even myself. It's not easy to find, but with the help others I am on the right track. I want my job to be one filled with positive vibes. So many people are struggling, whether it be with their health, financially, or even in their workplace. Every person deserves happiness and I want to be that small glimpse of hope for a person.

Now I know that my degree I'm pursuing in communications can take me a multitude of different directions, I understand that the pay isn't going to be anything special. Growing up, I was always told to pursue a degree in something that will let me be financially stable and well off. Well, my response to that as the more mature I have become is screw it! Do what makes you happy! If I had chosen a career path solely for the money I know I wouldn't love what I do. Money isn't a factor to me as long as I am able to positively influence and impact those who cross my path.

Now being so young I know that I'm going to have the chance to touch many people's lives in various ways. I can honestly say I am so excited to find a job that I love and know will be my passion. So many people are stuck working at a job that they either hate or stay for the money. What about their own personal happiness? If you don't love what you're doing, why do it? I think every single person out in this world has a special talent. Use your talent and find a job you love. I promise you won't regret it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
