Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places

The time comes for everyone, that they have to make a choice in live. For example; I had to make the choice about what I would want to study. It so happened that I haven’t the right choice immediately, what brought me back to this difficult decision I rather would not have to make again. What would I want? What do I like? What will be my next study?

And I have found out what I like and what I think is the right choice for me right now, but that isn’t where I’m going to talk about in this post. No, I’m going to give you all a few tips that helped me to find the right job/study or better said my goal.

• There’s no such thing as a perfect choice. So there is no reason to beat yourself up for it. The choice you’re going to make is a choice for right now and not for the far future. Nobody knows what the future will bring, the future isn’t fixed. So just make a choice that feels good for right now.

 

• Take a step back. When your stressing out about making that choice and it is the only thing you think about. Then there is no way you can make the right choice, because when your getting all fixed up about making the right choice, you will not have a clear mind to look at the options probably. So do something that takes your mind of it. Take a step back, so you can have a fresh look to it again.

 

• Create a top three of your dream jobs (or five if you want to). This was a assignment of a course I took to find out what I wanted to study. With this assignment it is the idea that it doesn’t have to be realistic, it can be everything you want.

 

• After you’ve done that; think about what you would have to do to accomplish your dream job(s) or find out if there is a job that is quite similar and that you can accomplish. Google is a great way to find out what all there is you can do. Take your time doing this.

 

• Look around and see if there is a course offered to help you with your choice or maybe your school provide help by making your choice in study. Don’t be limited to just your neighbourhood. I’ve done such a course and it really helped me a lot.

 

• If you found a few options, but you can’t choose between them. Make a list of pros and cons, and rate those pros and cons, at the end you count all the pros together and all cons at each of your options. The only thing there is left to do is pull the cons of the pros and compare all the results and the option with the highest results is probably the best choice.

Keep in mind that when you have made your choice and you find out it isn’t what you thought it would be. It isn’t the end of the world. Because ‘Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places”. because I’ve made that wrong choice, I found out a lot about me and what I do and don’t like that I wouldn’t found if I had not make this choice.

 

I wish you all lot’s of luck finding your goal in live.

February goals and a bit more

 

 

Oops….. I haven’t post anything here lately. :?

The reason that I haven’t post anything is: I was in the middle of my exam weeks : (

But I’ve had my last exam this morning and will have a fresh start to post more regularly. Starting with my February goals.

But first I wanted to talk about something I found when I was looking through some old pictures of me and my family. I found a small list with words that I could say when I was one and a half years old. The word that struck me the most was the word I had for snow. I called snow: PIEUW!!, not sure why I called it like that, maybe because snow is falling out of the sky and when the wind blows they go fast and everywhere. To bad I can’t see what’s in my head when I was one and a half.

I had a lot of fun getting to know what words I could speak.

When you where younger, did you had something similar like that. Did you had a strange name for something, what was it?

Lets move on now to my February goals. (wow the first month of 2013 is already over).

• Blog at least once a week (more is better!)
• Finish the assignments for the entrance exam (Creative writing course).
• Sew a circle skirt and do a blog post about that to show you how to : )
• Get a star bucks coffee (it mind sound a bit silly, but even though I pass star bucks every day for the past six months I can’t bring myself to get a cup of coffee. I really want one, but somehow I find it a bit scary. Like anything could happen : P.)
