OK, What Was Your Second Choice?

Last week someone asked what happened to my dream job from high school (please be patient because that was not an event that happened at quitting time yesterday.) I am not sure I had a dream job. As I recall, I only dreamed of getting a job.

Over the years, I learned you can plan for many things, but life does not always stop and wait for your decision. Life does not ask for your opinion. If you think you are not a flexible person, just consider your dreams, your options, and your decisions. You MUST have been flexible to a degree.

Lately, I connected with high school classmates, which prompted the original question. Reading comments in the graduation yearbook, I read their dreams posted before graduation. Some dreams were reality and fixed, but most were “to get a job”, “to be successful”, and “to make a certain someone happy.” What do you think of those lofty goals? Most cannot remember those visions from yesteryear, today.

Now we focus on you. What was/is your dream job? Have you arrived yet? Are you still dreaming? Scroll back to the title. Maybe you should be chasing your third option. The world awaits your decision.
