Love or Career?

There aren't many people who realize the reason why they get up everyday and trudge to work, struggling to make ends meet. Goal-less and soul-less with no ambition. A life of absurdity, banality and mediocrity. However, there are those that do have a mission in life with hopes of achieving everything they set out in life to do; with dedication, determination and discipline. The people who aren't scared to take risks, and not conform to rules or abide by other people's opinion; they will accomplish a great deal. Sometimes, we meet people or obstacles, that keep us from fulfilling our full potential. The key to being successful, and most importantly, happy; is to not let these obstacles or people deter us from our mission. Love or career? This is the question faced to many young adults in their twenties and early thirties. Optimally, we would choose both, however, what's more important? Here's what you must ask yourself, would you rather be with someone that makes you happy or do something that makes you happy? Will you depend on another person for your personal happiness or will you take a leap of faith and try becoming the person you want to be and make yourself happy?

Once you answer that question, some choices will become clearer; albeit, a little tougher. Ultimately, you'll be able to look back with no regrets; knowing you tried with all your might and energy to make the most of this wondrous life. Living with passion, creating new experiences and hopefully creating something of value for someone else; being charitable. Thus, when you come across those people who do you dirty, steer you wrong, and situations that make you want to throw in the towel; just press on. Forgiveness, not forgetfulness, will help you through the pain. But that's the lesson; you get through the pain and continue to grow and evolve as a spiritual being. 

Do your best to smile when all you can to do is frown. Some people you must let go, some things you must discard, but it'll all be worth it and make sense in the end; if you continue to follow your heart!
