Are you doing all that you can do in life this very moment? Do you feel a sense of achievement yet? Every once in a while, it may be worthwhile to sit back and ponder over these questions (amongst others). I'm doing it right now as I'm typing this because, unfortunately, my answer to the above two questions is a definite NO.
That in itself is not a real problem; in fact it's good to know that there is something else to aim for. The real problem is not knowing what that something is. In the past week, I've been in a few short but deep conversations with a few of my closest friends... conversations that led to surprising conclusions. More questions, less answers though.
I'm beginning to realize that the industry I'm working in right now may not be what I really want to do. I'll be upfront about it; being good in something has nothing to do with being satisfied about it. I don't quite understand why I'm not enjoying it anymore... it could be the monotonous nature of the jobs, the isolation of the work environment, the amount of sitting involved.. heck it might even be the low exposure to the GREEN of nature for all I know. Regardless of the cause, the symptoms are apparent and that makes it hard to ignore.
What would be source of satisfaction to me right now? I'll admit that for once in my life, I'm quite lost.
or, you're dealing with a quarter life crisis *wink.
