So … I am finally near to completely recovering from whatever bug i got. I’m not sure what I had, but it sure was a pain. Now it’s time to get back on track. However, I am a little lost. Once again, I am hit with the same road block that I have faced … where am I? where do I want to go? what do I want to do?
Obstacle #1: Long-term planning - what a damn annoying pain. Because of good old long-term planning, I am constantly reminded of the fact that I have to make sure that I will have a roof over my head in a couple years. What a bugger…
Obstacle #2: Freedom vs. Career-building. Perhaps I can consider this one of my weaknesses or strengths? Some say you must pay your dues before actually being able to do what you truly want to do. Others say its how you build and gain experience. Is it impatience that is causing some of my frustration and need to break free? Is it simply the way of an inexperienced 20-something-year-old? Or is it truly an internal demand for the freedom to achieve a goal or objective?
Obstacle #3: Generalist or Specialist? I guess it is one of my greatest accomplishments and downfalls, both at the same time. My ability to be flexible and adaptive makes me a great generalist, I find unconventional ways to do things and utilize a combination of different skills to attain my objective. I have to learn on the spot on how to do some things but once I figure it out, everything is quick and easy. However, a specialist could probably do that from the start with no problems. There are a lot of things I am interested in and I just never stop learning. However, should I be focusing on one thing?
So despite these obstacles, I continue to putter along. I don’t know what will happen, but I do know that in the future, I need to focus my attention on Wandering Enterprises. Perhaps this 25-year-old is young, very likely inexperienced and naive about the world … but if there’s three things I definitely have on my side, it is a dream, a belief and the people who support me. Already… the foundation is set, now we just have to see how much time it takes to lay the bricks.
