Some advice, PLEASE! what did you do to figure it out?

Question

career wise, how did you know thats what you wanted to do? I'm in the military right now, and its not that i regret this choice, but i'm just not really happy with where i am at in my life right now. i really don't like the rate i am in, i have no idea what i wanna do when i get out....and i just kind of feel hopeless right now. like, i just want something in my life, that one thing that you can just be sooooo passionate about that you know that is what you would want to do for the rest of your life and be happy with it. and i dont know a whole lot of things im good at......UGH....i just feel so lost....

hello!

dont worry, alot of people go through this.

you dont have to be good at something to do great in it!

its not so much skill, its more passion and drive.

if you set your mind and heart to it, you can do

ANYTHING you want to do!

the world really is your oyster.

think, what would you really like to do? dont think about the skills you do or dont have, or the place you live, or the money you have, in a perfect world... what would you do? if you could do ANYTHING?

got somthing in your mind?

okay.... now heres the thing...

DO THAT!!!! Dont under estimate yourself! there is nothing impossible for you to do! choose what you love, and go for it. do what it takes. want to be a doctor? great, go to uni and spend the time to do it. want to be a superstar? great! get a fulltime job to pay for music lessons and go to college and get yourself in a country that exposes you to opportunity, and go for it! want to be a stay at home mum? fantastic! start reading up on parenting and how to be a good wife. start working out what kind of man you want to be with, save up and prepare your home for it.

whatever you would really love to do, know that its possible. some things might take years, but if its what you love, its worth it. so just go for it!

if you really just dont know, thats okay, browse through career websites, ask people who know you, what they think you would be good at. sometimes others see qualities and skills in you that you dont recognise. write it all down. make a "future" journal. whenever someone says "youd be good at that" or "have you ever thought about going into this line of work?" write it in your journal. also when you get ideas, write them in there too. when you hear about a type of job or career that sparks a little interest, write it down. it may not be exactly what you want to do, but if you write all the things down that spark a little interest you might start seeing something they all have in common and give you a clearer indication of the direction you should be going in. you can go on career websites that get you to do free tests to show you what youd be good at according to the info you give. they are helpful. i know centerlink have people who are career councellors they can help too.

oh the possibilities to those who are wlling to try! get exited about your future! the best is yet to come!

and lastly and most importantly, pray. Ask God! who better to enquire about your future then the one who made you for an awesome purpose! He knows! Thats how i found my future :-) never looked back. so happy!

hope this helped.
