Contemplating Life

Hey everyone,

This week has been a interesting from an introspective point of view. The lessons had me focusing on who I wanted to become and what my life goals were up to this point. That has always been some scary stuff to me. A couple years ago I decided to buckle down and focus on finishing school once again. I was unsatisfied on how far I could advance in my work place and wanted something more. I decided that finishing school was the best thing to do to broaden my horizons. Well that left me with another problem just a couple of years later.

You see my next major problem stemmed from the fact that my long term goal was just to finish school. It was not about what I would do with the degree or how long it would take me to finish, just finishing. My wife frequently asked what I wanted to do afterwards and I would shrug and say, "I will see when we get there". Well this week has be a reckoning of sorts. My long term future at my current job is on the rocks and making a switch to a new career path became a must to ease my conscious. This left me with the question, what do I do now?

I could go into business for myself and begin creating a business plan or I could invest more in my future and choose new school goals that would pay off later. After a lot of thinking and praying and discussing the end result may be pursuing a secondary degree. One front runner is the possibility of applying to law schools. I've always been excited by the career opportunity of becoming a lawyer and the critical thinking to succeed in that field is one of my strong suits. The biggest hold back is the additional school. School has always been one of my biggest struggles. Not because I find it terribly difficult but because I find it difficult to motivate myself in certain areas of schoolwork. I just wanted to let you all know that big life changes may be coming over the next few months if I iron out my future course. I guess that's a lesson I still have to learn.
