Hey slacker!

You are a slacker. How do I know this? Well I'm pretty sure if I asked you the question about where you wanted to be right now or what dreams and aspirations you had in store for yourself I would get an iffy answer like I don’t know or “when the time is right” or “oh it’l happen”. How many of you are going out there and pursuing what you claim to love and what you claim to want to be? If you want to be in healthcare, get the hell out of retail (yes that’s me). But if you want to be a journalist don’t do nursing. If you want to be a teacher don’t become a doctor. Be what you want to be and pursue it passionately. You are going to be 10x better as a teacher than a doctor if your heart is in teaching. You will not believe some of the lost dreams that I’ve heard. I have people who wanted to become engineers in mediocre jobs that far from satisfies them.

Are you a slacker?

What I am saying is that listen – take a look around at friends and family. We have them all for a reason. But in the end.. at the end of the day when the sun goes down, the moon is in full shining and the stars are aligning, what right do we have to not pursue what we love. Is it not our life? Ok, maybe it is our life FOR God, but is my life more mine or my parents? Or my churches? Or my friends? Its mine, is it not? Love what you do, no matter where you do it or how long it takes to get you there because in the end its all worth it. The final outcome completely cancels out the pain and sacrifices it took to get there.
