Life is essentially a balancing act with easy times and difficult times sliding in and out like shifting plates on a mountain side and there is never a direct ascent to the top, thank god, how predictable that would be. dawn marie giegerichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13486153389982627434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047900042385397529.post-54637636413918150392013-03-28T10:57:16.353-07:002013-03-28T10:57:16.353-07:00I do think it is difficult these days (or even in ...I do think it is difficult these days (or even in the past) to choose between making a living and living your passion. I told my kids to go for the passion and if your do, you will be not only happier, but success will follow. Of course, you have to be able to survive, eat, pay the rent etc., but you will work a long time...it is so much better if you love what you do.<br /><br />Please...read my blog post today.

Currently, my BA is working as a waitress, trying to get $ together to do her grand Gap Year tour. At 17, she's managed to find 2 (albeit small time) jobs in two months. The experience she gains will aid her in finding others I'm sure. My stepsons on the other hand, sit around playing online games and bemoaning the fact that they cannot get a job. I do not see my middle stepson EVER moving out of home. The BA can't WAIT to go. What am I trying to say? I guess I would just encourage you to recognise the gifts you have been blessed with. Yes, your health problems have caused some anxiety for you, but you are intelligent, articulate, educated and you have a good heart. You are way ahead of a vast proportion of the population. If you need to get some independence now and you think you have the means...I would encourage you to do it. Try not to plan ahead too much. Life has a way of f***ing that up if you do! Your need to contribute to society will always be there and as you find your feet and your place in the world, opportunities will present themselves. Well shot. Waddya know? I did have something to say!!!!

However, you seem to be prepared to consider your path ahead with a clear eye and an open heart. <br />And I really do believe that what may start out feeling like compromises could turn out to be wonderful new beginnings. <br />laura b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15086009761943858915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047900042385397529.post-90294914917333980722013-03-24T14:55:54.900-07:002013-03-24T14:55:54.900-07:00Isn't it a shame how much emphasis is placed o...Isn't it a shame how much emphasis is placed on being a HAVE? Have money, have car, have job, have, have, have. I hear exactly what you are saying. But unless you are willing and able to impose on others for basic needs, money is important, at least for sustenance. <br /><br />However, you've come of age at a time when the economy sucks, jobs - any jobs, are hard to come by, especially in any field that is specialized because no one dares to move on, thus providing the openings that new, young people should be filling. We are working later into life, and thus retiring much later. <br /><br />Tough decisions, BB. I remember your excitement when you acquired your present position. But one must always look ahead, and make sure their basic needs, which require money, are met. I think it's incredibly mature of you to be thinking in these terms, and I am sure you will make the right decisions, since no one else can make them for you. And, you're still young. If you find you've made a decision that wasn't optimal, you've got the time to put it right, one way or another.<br /><br />My only suggestion is not to give up what you've got now, until you've got something else already in the bag.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
