Being in your 20’s is an interesting time. Some start families and get married, others start college, others go straight into the workforce, some stay close to family taking some time off of school and such and some have no idea what the hell to do at all. I am one of those people.
I have been struggling to find what I want as my career and to what purpose i hold for the world. I like many in their early 20’s just starting their life without parental control, trying to breathe and get a handle of the way of the world, struggle and with or without good support find their way in time. Until then I and others same must take their time to find their path. But to find that path quickly because “you don’t have time” is the problem.
My mother and I have taken up a daily devotional keeping each other accountable while remaining close with our prayers and time. As reading and thinking about what they are talking about does it really speak to me. The topic was being specific about your future. And most of the time I always want to roll my eyes because it is like here we go again. I do not really want to hear this right now. Being in my early 20’s and not haven chosen a career path or doing school at the moment because I have no idea what I am to do. Constantly hearing multiple adults lecture me about how I am running out of time and need to be doing school and working, staying out of trouble and volunteering and staying focused. Yes, I hear you, yes I have been to college and tried to just pick a career but I am 21 years old and I have at least a year or two to really test myself, think and decide what I will do with a good 20 years of my life at least.
“The more general your goal is, the less power it has.”Rick Warren. I cannot agree more. Then continues to say, You must ask yourself why? Once you answer why, let that inspire you, drive you, motivate you so that when things get tough that why, is your passion, and drive to continue until you cross that finish line and reach that goal.
Do not be afraid to take your time to experiment with possible desires since your experiences and trials make you the person you are. Knowing what you do not like is a good a thing to know.
P.S. Don’t forget to smile
