Are you all that you want to be?

November 11th, 2008

No, before you ask…I am not going to join the Army or any other branch of the armed forces. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t thought about it…but I’m not going to. I thought it would be nice, but that’s not the point of me writing this…

I’ve been on a “slump” recently over the past couple of months…and it’s no one’s fault. Maybe it’s because the country is a bit more pessimistic and I’m falling into that category of people who are in disbelief over the economy and the future. Sure, Barack Obama is promising change and I’m inspired by what he says, but that’s about it. Where are the changes going to happen and will it take place in the next year or are some of us doomed to live off the savings that most of us have now because of the unemployment rate? I’m not making excuses for why I’m not working…because I have applied to quite a few places. Although the last benchmark that I have was my last stint at unemployment which lasted about nine months…so I’m already two months into that.

But looking back in my gloom and slightly depressed mode, I become more reflective. Then the question comes to mind…are you sure you know what you want in life? Is where you are what you thought you’d be doing five years after you’ve graduated from college? I’m wondering whether marketing is my passion right now…I’m sure that it is, but what about photography? I love walking around with a camera. Is that something I should be focusing my efforts on right now? Is web design still something I enjoy doing? Haven’t done that for a few months or at least a year, so it could come back to me…just seeking that ounce of inspiration and motivation.

Have I become all that I want to be? No…I’m damn sure that I haven’t. Job aside, I need to get back on my feet and start doing what I’ve been doing few years ago…I need to start taking some initiative and remember that nothing is being handed to me. I need to go out and not be lazy and do things myself…now let’s see some motivation!
