Why do we live on a set path of where we should be? We are raised on the idea that after high school, we go to college and major in something that proves that we are an intelligent individual. We might even major in something that is going to make us rich, so we can chase money. Why not pick what major you want?
After high school, we all go our separate ways to embark on our journey right out the gate of our early adulthood. We pick a major in college based on what our parents told us or we pick to prove to people we are smart. We are then rushed to meet someone if we haven't by the time we graduate. Then we hopefully work a job day in and day out. After a while you feel a certain way and you begin to wonder what is the void in your soul. That void you feel is living a life that will be unfulfilled if the routine stays the way it is. You will look back and think that you did everything that you were told, that you followed the set path perfectly. The reason is that you lived on a time line that was set in front of you since day one. That life you are living is one you never really wanted, you just convinced yourself it was the only way. You are living some life that is not yours, so when you look back was following that time line worth it? Picked the major you were supposed to pick, graduated with a 4.0 GPA, met someone and got married and worked a job you just picked. The focus was on the wrong thing the whole time.
All that time was spent on doing what was supposed to be done because that's what everyone else is doing and the path that is usually walked. Here is a secret for you...this is your life. Why not major in something you want to major in? Why not be who you want to be? Why not walk your own path without being told where to go, who to be, and what you should do? It is time to start looking inward and figuring out who you really are and what you really want out of this life. We are fragile people and at any point our lives could end just like that. Do you really want to look back on your life in your last moments thinking about I wish I did this? Don't you want to just be yourself and find your place in the world? Yes, some people do have it tougher than others, but even those people fight for what they want to do with their lives. They work twice as hard to get to where they want to be because they want to be there. Look at yourself and think about your goals in life. Once you do that set a plan up and walk your path with full on confidence.
