Try try again.....

Having a career I'm passionate about has been a long time aspiration. At the age of 25 though, I wonder what are skills I have to offer to society? Would they value my skills or would I just be another fish in the sea or worse...not qualified.

At the age of 25, I have decided, I hate sitting in front of a desk and entering data all day long. I also don't like working in an environment where people micromanage your every step and feel superior to you because they hold a fancier title.

I value a work environment where there is mutual respect for each other. Where people there are truly passionate about the product and the service that is offered. I value the support and encouragement from my co-workers to share their knowledge and not be afraid to tell me their thoughts. Having a clear understanding of what management wants is also important. Having an over all goal and being able to obtain it is ideal.

Today, I met with a gal who is just a few years older than me who seemed to have everything all put together. I admired her, and aspire to be a little more put together. She said she realizes she needs to stop having everything perfect and just be okay with okay.

From our conversation, I realized I love making connections and being in a creative atmosphere. Working with people is ideal. I also figured out that I get emotional involved into projects and want everything to be just right before I can feel proud of myself.

Right now, I have a lot on my plate and it's going to take some discipline to get it all done and in order. Otherwise, I will be running around with my head chopped off and that is not want I want to be doing.

I must not be discouraged and just go for it. No one else is going to make things happen for me until I do something about it. So do the dew and live! Sigh*
