I’m at this point in life where I’m ready to accomplish my goals. Or at least some of them. I’m tired of waiting. I’m getting really impatient and it’s hard to not sit here and compare myself to other more successful people my age which is super easy to do when Instagram is a swipe and a tap away.
In one of my previous posts, Dealing with Overwhelm, I talked about the stress of having a lot on my plate. So naturally, I decided the smartest thing for me to do was add yet another project to the mix. I now project manage for a tech start-up. In addition to that, I still manage State of the Art, DJ at my school’s radio station, work, blog, create art and currency trade. Plus, I’m in the midst of starting a business. Most of those, if not all, are things I hope to eventually monetize. It’s all a matter of the work that I put into it now. I’ve been working really hard and I suppose I was just expecting my work to have paid off already.
I just started my final year of undergrad and life’s coming at me fast. Pretty soon I’ll be a college graduate with a degree and student loans to pay back on top of my other bills. Not to mention I would like to move out of my parents’ house sometime soon. It just feels like I’m running out of time.
Call me naive, but when I imagined my journey to success, of course I predicted that there’d be a few bumps in the road, but nothing major. I thought a majority of it would be smooth sailing.
I know where I’m going in life. I’m following my dreams and believe in myself wholeheartedly. I just have to keep being patient.
