Success

Pick a line

February 3, 2009

Sometimes it’s impossible to focus. Not on work or school or your friend’s riveting tale of a night out gone bad; it’s hard to focus on the future.

In your early twenties, an infinite number of paths unfold in front you.

Which one do you take?

It’s common to try to be the pro surfer, Wall Street trader, marketing blogger, party animal intellectual, or some other combination of conversation generating attributes, but it can’t happen. There’s only so much time in the day – or in your life for that matter – so eventually you’re going to have to focus on a chosen career path.

Starting out, there’s plenty of leeway and changing course isn’t going to set you back, but the sooner you determine where you want to go the better. Your choice may not be the perfect, glamorous job of your seemingly lucky friend, but no career path is perfect. I guarantee Mr./Ms. “I have the best job ever!” does not, in fact, have the best job “ever.” Be glad for those that have found their calling, then pick something and make it your calling. If you constantly waiver between multiple ideas of the ideal route to success, you’ll go nowhere.

It’s called stretching yourself too thin and it’s a surefire way to make zero progress. Give something 100 percent of your effort and it will give you 100 percent satisfaction. That’s my 100% Cash4Gold satisfaction guarantee!
