Just A Little Confused

This is my first post. After trying to postpone doing this by eating yummy dinner or by watching my favourite rom-com, here I am writing. What I want to write about? Well, the things I go through everyday , thoughts that exhaust me daily. One of those thoughts is career.

I read it somewhere – ” We are not kept from our goal by obstacles , but by a clear path to a lesser goal”.

Is that true? I mean I did my graduation in engineering , got a job in a good corporate firm. Most of the people of my age take the same path towards their job. But are we people meant for greater things in life? I mean getting the job was easy (On campus drive, it was) but keeping it is hard because I hate it. I dont love mondays. I hate the routine job I am in.

If you ask me reasons for not quiting, I would say money. At the end of month, I get to pay my bills. Despite stupid and highly diplomatic bosses ,this job pays me. Another reason not to quit, all my friends do these kinds of jobs and they are not quiting. If I quit and try and do something , I am an outcast. Now we Indians need to follow our society without any question.

Now, lets say I quit but how am I going to support myself financially. Yesterday night I thought about it. I got so many ideas about what I can become. With a friend’s help, i listed out few thing that I can be- a ERP consultant, a writer, a soft skill trainer, RJ. But I dont know. I am confused. I am scared. If I choose one of the goal, it will take a lot of hard work and I am very lazy person. And thats not it, I need to convince my parents about it. No child is ready for that kind of drama.

So I think its true, we are kept from greater things in life because we have an easier option.

And to people who are living life doing something that they love, I envy you.
