Hello Adventurers
I once wanted to be a doctor.
Early on in my life I experienced a lot of death, people I loved dearly died due to diseases that are preventable, curable, or manageable with modern medication. But when you live in a third world country modern medicine is behind, and people won’t treat without being paid. It broke my heart that I lost so many loved ones, I wanted to be a change I would provide for my country.
But I’m bad at science, and because I’m bad, I hate it.
I am however good with numbers and thinking.
In high school I look a torts class and loved. It made me think, which I love. I’m a thinker even though I hate it sometimes because I overthink things. I found a different passion through that torts class, I found a love for law. I’m excellent in every law class I have ever take, I wish I would go straight to law school because my undergraduate degree is a waste of time. Yes, I will somewhat be able to use the knowledge I gain from it but I have gone through three major changes because I ultimately want to be a lawyer and I find non of the undergraduate degrees interesting which has lowered my GPA.
So I once had a dream to be a doctor, now I have a new realistic dream to be a lawyer. Life isn’t about finding yourself in the dreams of your parents, your childhood dreams, or anyone else than who you are now. Don’t try to find yourself, create yourself into the best you. You know yourself better than anyone, you know what you want to do with your life. You know your goals, you know what you can and can not do. If my true dream was be become a doctor I would have went and found that person inside me. But I would rather create the person I want to be than go finding someone I think I need to be. Create the person you need to be though the things you are good at, not the things you think you can be good at. Misery is pushing yourself though something you are not good at, and hating it.
XOXO
