Discover your soul or Are you lost?

Sometimes I have deep thoughts , and I just want to share my opinion regarding discovering your individual soul path. Think of humans as books / novels. Everyone has a story but, what make your book stand out ? Is it the book cover ( outside looks ) , The inside ( personality), or just your summary ( the short version of your story .) Indeed, as humans we are similar to books because each individual create / write their own story. If you're able to create your own story ( life journey ) then, you will acknowledge who you are and what you want within life. Don't ignore those random desire toward a passion you have. Pursue it.

If you keep running away from a certain passion , you will regret it later in life. Live in the moment and accept the trials you go through to discover what you want in life. Remove fear and you will be unstoppable. I must mention, How can you fail if you're the author creating your story ? furthermore, Once you identify who you are ... The next question would be " What can you do everyday that make you happy ?" Additionally, choose a career that you'r going to love ! Working a career that doesn't feel much like a job; is the best feeling because your pursing something you love. Now you'r wandering , " hey May , how do I know if this is the perfect career for me. " If you can wake up at any time for your career , then you love that job.

For an example, Myself... I attempt to attend college to become a family law attorney. I always wanted to become a lawyer and help families in many ways. However, I was able to pursue a job within a law firm as a receptionist ( during college). The law firm mentioned, " if you stay with us for six year while finishing your college courses, you will be able to become a attorney at our law firm " ( I forgot to mention this was a family law firm ). I was excited and determined to stay. However, I discover myself drawing as i was working in the law firm. I was not happy being a receptionist , working at my desk. I thought I could stay at the law firm as I finish school ... It was the perfect plan but, not for me. I turn down the opportunity and return home to start over my life. Later that year, I discover who I was , and how I want my everyday life to be. Which was; I wanted to be around art , and I love cartoons ( come on who doesn't love animation). I was able to understand WHO I wanted to become. A cartoonist / animator. I knew this was the perfect career choice because it put fear within me. I was nervous that I would fail as a starving artist. But, I remove fear and begin to practice my drawings before attempting to give up. Now, I am about to graduate with my Bachelor degree as a film director. I am facing my biggest dream / fear in a reality state. Yes, it's normal to feel unsure, or nervous about your career choice. Take the time to discover yourself, and the outcome you want in your life. I am absolutely happy that I change my career choice. I never thought I would stop trying to become an attorney to a animation film director. ( pretty cool journey ).

In conclusion, since you are the author ; creating YOUR story. Remove , add, edit, or start over as much as you want. You have the control over your story ( life path). Additionally, you can't run away from your life journey because your story don't end until you do. Keep discovering yourself and spend time acknowledging "what do you want out of life overall". It's okay to feel lost or confused , that also part of the process. But, create the life that you desire , and don't settle for less. You can be the best at anything in the world , as long as you create what that is.
