Recently I've been thinking a lot about what I want to be when I grow up.
Sure I went to school for engineering, but I'm almost 100% sure this isn't what I want to do for the rest of my life, unless it's a job with Disney. I'm even really close to teaching but I'm not sure I want the structure of working in a school. (I enjoy being able to travel when I want to).
So where does that leave me?
I watched a couple videos on the internet this week that got me really fired up. One of them is a talk by Elizabeth Gilbert. Watch it, it's worth the time.
I'm in a weird place. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a creative person, I like to play with paper and other stuff but the engineer side of my brain is always fighting with the creative side so I come out somewhere in the middle.
I read a lot of creative blogs and find I'm not really inspired by the same thing those people are. So does that mean I'm not creative?
I get a TON of inspiration from anything Disney puts out. Be it going to the parks, watching a movie or reading a book about the company or the man. And what does it say that I'd rather curl up with a good book than create?
I think sometimes how nice it would be to rent a house on a lake for a week and do nothing, yet I also love the trips when it's go, go, go.
I guess what it all comes down to, is I need to figure out where I fit in. What can I do that will make a difference to myself and to others. What will I feel most fulfilled doing.
I Have no idea.
