The Next Step

It's amazing but it's hit me like a ton of bricks. Like my life actually makes sense again. I've determined that the Peace Corps isn't going to work for me. It was to be my journey into the wilderness that allows me the time and perspective to define my own purpose in this world. Something I now realize, I don't need time away to do. My purpose is still what it was, to help others. However, my purpose doesn't have to be my career. Moreover, I hope it's not. I'm guessing that I am going to cross paths with so many people and have the opportunity to affect each of their lives. As well attaching a dollar amount to helping someone cheapens the experience.

So what am I going to do with my life?

I am currently applying for sales positions at several companies. After a few years of experience, I hope to get into the Medical Device field. Where every day I'll be showing physicians the next generation of tools to help them save lives.

So what caused this epiphany?
Time. And the realization that I already have found myself. I've found many of the things that make me happy in life and that I have to embrace them.

I have friends who respect me and look out for me. I have a family that has supported me through a myriad of stupid decisions. I have the ability to accomplish any goal that sets in front of me.

So what's next?

Aside from the job, I want to get out of this house. Once on my own I hope to be able to start working to better Iota Delta's Alumni Association and Housing Corporation. As well, I need to start dating. I need to open myself up to the idea of a serious relationship.

I'm not afraid anymore, I'm going at life headon
