A Soul Filling Career

As children, we dream of what we might become as adults. Hundreds of professions are flashed in front of our eyes and ears through social media, television, and magazines. Nothing seems impossible at this impressionable age. As we grow into our late teenage years, pressure is put upon us to decide what we will choose for our career. For most, this is an extraordinary leap of faith into the unknown. Many rely on parents, relatives, teachers, and/or society to choose their future.

So often the focus is on a profession that will yield a substantial salary and prestige. No one wants to financially struggle in life, everyone wants to be comfortable. The question becomes, what is one’s definition of a comfortable life? Focusing on the dreams that lit you up and filled your soul is important.

Do you wake up every morning excited for a new day? Do you feel creativity and passion flowing through your veins? Are you excited to share your vision (s) with your co-workers? Many lose sight of their dreams. Getting caught in the web of everyday life, our dreams melt away just like the snow melts on a warm spring day. Slowly dripping off the trees, listening as each drop slowly hits the wet grass. Every day we wake up and repeat the same pattern as the next. Jumping on the never-ending treadmill of life, like the gerbil running on his wheel, going as fast as he can, but not reaching beyond the border of the wheel.

You can reach beyond your border by remembering those dreams that filled you with excitement. It is not too late to change your course and get back on your path that filled your soul.
