Journal mystereys's Journal: something great...
Do you ever get the feeling that, you could do something great? Something incredible, something that means something, something that will help lots of people, or put your name in lights or make you rich, or at the very least give you some sort of intense feeling of satisfaction at what you've done?
Do you ever feel that you could do something really great, but you don't know what it is?
I'm at that point.
Right now, I'm about 2 years out of college, and although I have a good job in a field I like, something is lacking. I'm planning on applying to grad schools this year, but I don't know if that's what I want to do. You see, I have an urge to do something big. Like, drop everything and start my own business, or try and become respected and be able to put a roof over my head as a professional singer. But, I also want to go to grad school. I want to learn what I can in my field (btw--oceanography/environmental engineering), and then use that to go out and contribute to what we know about the world, or help people get better access to clean water, or help companies figure out good environmental strategies.
I feel like I'm capable of doing a lot of things. But I can't figure out what the best thing would be.
Call it the quarter-century crisis. Who knows, maybe I'll just do it all. =)
