You are not supposed to have everything figured out.
Treat the people who tell you they all have it all figured out with a healthy degree of skepticism.
Life is about recognizing the possibilities and potential in the new people, places and things that present themselves to you. You will have great loves and passions all through your life. They do not appear all at once or on your specific schedule.
The mistake a lot of people make is they stand and wait for those loves and passions to find them. It just does not work that way. Finding them, like everything else, is a lot of work. You find the great passions and loves of your life by opening new doors, meeting new people, and educating yourself.
Completing your education is only the first part of the preparation. This is one of those things you will work at your entire life.
So if you are making your head hurt because you have not got it all figured out...stop it. If you are worried because you don't know exactly what you want to do for a living...stop it. The biggest part of your education now is learning how to open those new doors, meet those new people and recognizing the possibilities and potential in all the new stuff you are experiencing.
Although it is a lot of work, there is absolutely no reason you cannot and should not enjoy the search.
The best part of riding the roller coaster is hurtling down the track and having your stomach in your throat.
Enjoy the ride.
Love Dad
