Writing the "Friends and Family Kinda Suck..." post really helped. My head is clearer and I can move on to other things...
I have been thinking about making a HUGE career change. I have been seriously thinking about scientific sales. I like science and I like that I wouldn't be behind a desk all day. There is potential to make a great living. I could accelerate my financial goals, which would be GREAT.
I also realize that sales can be demanding, and I have to start taking better care of my emotional right now on order to withstand the pressure.
I have also been thinking about grad school. I had a failed attempt a long time ago that really lowered my intellectual confidence. Yet, I still yearn to have advanced degrees. I thought that I had suppressed this desire, but it keeps coming up to surface. I need to talk to God about the things that I really desire in my heart. I hope that I can have them.
Even though Friday and Sunday were tough, Saturday was good. I was able to map some things out regarding my goals. I think that I will draft a 2 year plan and start making progress, even if it is small, each day. When I talk about the things that I want in my life, I can feel a positive internal shift in my body. I feel like a butterfly crawling out a cocoon. It is such an awesome feeling, like I am finally reconnecting with the college version of me before the depression hit. I feel optimistic, like good things are possible. What an awesome feeling.
I started reading the book I bought for my Kindle app because I like the author and the Kindle edition was only $1.11. It is titled "How to Be Happy Where You Are: Finding Fulfillment". This book helped me to recognize my longing to complete a graduate program only by the 2nd chapter! Very engaging and well written. I think that I will go and read at least some of it now. I hope that I will continue to gain clarity from it.
