The Best Laid Plans

It has come to my attention that the majority of my peers have made detailed life plans for themselves which they believe will aid them in their desired career path.

Oh.

I have NO CLUE what I want to do when "I grow up". I enjoy entertaining people, making them laugh. I like making stuff up. Other than that...my options are ENDLESS.

And I like it that way. I refuse to worry about my future simply because it is a mystery. I choose to live life as an adventure. I know that if I pursue my passions and continue allowing myself enriching opportunities I will find what I am meant to do.

This does NOT mean that a dream job will land in my lap. I will continue to actively pursue things I believe will better my chances of succeeding in the professional realm of boredom-killing.

Lately I've been remembering professions my child self wanted to pursue. Animator, Architect, Pilot, Spy, Marine Biologist...Guess what? I still want to do those things. Well, maybe not the spy one. Anyways, who's to say that 15 years from now I won't be doing one of those things? Or something completely different? As long as I am happy, healthy and helping others, I think I've succeeded.
