I cannot believe that one year ago, I ventured off on my career exploration process. I was determined to find a sense of “cause” about my life. That my work and my cause would collide. A year later I realize that you have to make the best out of your current situation. You have to find ways to contribute your passion or cause to your work or you can easily allow situations to control you.
You also have to fight the voices in your head that are telling you that it is not worth it. I realized again that only I can go after the cause. It is my torch that I am carrying. No one else can really carry what I care about. Most of the content in my posts have come true. You have to go to the place where you can contribute the most, that the cause is found in giving to others, that being present is a big part of this and that I can work where my true self is an outflow.
I have no regrets. I seriously contemplating going off on my own. I do not think I was ready for that. I really like the situation I am in now. As long as I am detached from the outcomes things seem to go well. When I over own the outcomes, I get really tired. Today, the outcome was just ok and I became discouraged.
