Why It's 100% Okay To Not Know What's Next

This time last year, I was convinced that I wanted to be a lawyer.

I had my heart set on that pathway for many years, and I thought that it was the place where I would be in 10 years.

Now, a year later, I want to do something completely different.

And thats okay.

Because it is 100% okay to look at the big picture and say, hold on a sec, I don't think I want to do this anymore.

And actually, the more that you realize this, the better off you'll be.  The last thing you want is to be doing something only because that's what you've 'always wanted' to do.

I more I step back and see this, the better I can be at deciding what next, or most of the time, just holding on for the ride and seeing where I end up.

I'm preachin' to the choir when I say this but, it's actually okay to not plan out every aspect of your life.  Sometimes opportunities will just come along and take you by hand and you can't just stand there, so you go with it, even though it's completely different then what you had planned.

So, if right now, you don't have a clue what's next and you feel that your life is crumbling away, so what?

Does that make you a failure?

Never.

I actually makes you a real human.  Oh boy.

It makes you someone who can see themselves doing many different things for many different people.

It makes you someone who lives their life in the moment, rather then one dictated by what they wrote in notebook 2 years ago.

It's a bloody good thing gals.

In case you haven't noticed yet, life doesn't play by the rules.  It skips things, and cheats, and you just have to keep up and remember who the real boss is.
