I am pretty much set on nothing lately. I keep dabbling in ideas of things I want to do (or be). But, not much comes of it.
Just like many many other people out there, I don't know what I want to do with my life. Yep, I know. Twenty-one years old. Married. Semi-educated. Heck, I even moved away from everything I knew in hopes of "finding myself". Yet, here I am. Still unsettled. Still searching for that one thing (or many) that makes me feel accomplished.
But, here's my issue. As I spend my time thinking of what I want to do I am also wasting my time not doing it. How do I get out of this circle?
"A goal without a plan is just a wish." -Antoine de Saint Exupery
Think about that for awhile. I know I have. I have also come to the conclusion that it is never too late to start something new, to do something new, or to be someone new. If I have a goal, I need to make a plan and put it into action. It will be hard. But, don't you think, after all is said and done, it will be worth it?
So, this is what I intend to do. I will be spending some time in thought. I'm going to write down everything I wish to change or even start. Then, I will take those wishes, put plans behind them, and turn them into goals. That way, they will be attainable.
At this point, I can't help but bring up my greatest fear:
failure. But, the more I think about it, the more I run through the realities in my head, I have come to the conclusion that failure isn't even a possibility. How could I fail at finding my niche. If I realize something I'm doing isn't working for me, I would just stop doing it and try something else. That's not failing. Failing would be to see that something needs to change and not do a thing to change it.
I'm going to end this entry with a quote I saw on my sister's facebook status. It pretty much sums up everything:
If you've got dreams, goals and ambitions,
you'd better chase them today. Just in case." -Mark Discoll
