Ive been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do with my future. What I want to spend my life doing. It frustrates me to know end that at 25 I still haven't found the 'thing' that makes me happy, the 'thing' that I want to do to pay the bills, the 'thing' to do for a living.
I'm not lacking in ideas for future occupations...over the years I have considered teaching in many forms- primary, high school, English, history, art, drama, home economics or special education with my current uni study reflecting pretty much all those areas. I have thought about cheffing and did some work experience in a pub kitchen, shoe making, journalism and specifically radio journalism, I travelled all the way to Mount Isa to do some work experience with radio ABC (and visit Tatum and the Landlord). I've thought about counselling, hotel management and nursing.
Just recently, as in the last few days, I've began to think about a new career path and I'm wondering if maybe I might have finally found something that will make me happy.
Health and fitness is what my life is all about at the moment and whilst it seems a bit cliched, in the I've lost weight, now I'll be a personal trainer way, I think I may have stumbled upon a field of work that may just make me happy. As well as making it easier to continue breathing this new lifestyle I have created for myself and help people in the process.
Time to start believing impossible things and making them happen!

I am 50 I think I may have just 'found' what I would like to do with my life to make it rok!!!!!
Dont limit yourself or get bogged down with haven to find 'it' now!!!! and or settle into it now!!!
Life is waaaay to short!!! and there is absolutely nothing wrong with spending your whole life exploring!!!! sts
IMHO xoxoxoxo
Oh and PS...... U WILL ROK WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!!
thing is mate … you ARE actually doing something with your life whatever job you are in.
Even if you don't think it's for you and in your future think of it as a stepping stone. I am sure you have learnt heaps of amazing skills in your current job.
Everyone doubts themselves and their career / jobs at times, wondering if it is something that they should stick at for the long haul. I would have liked to have been a florist, archeologist, or librarian…. and i realise that there is still heaps of time to give some of those a whizz if i want to.
Love what you do and do what you love (and btw i think you would be an incredible Personal Trainer) x
you can be my PT and I'll pay u with friendship! he he
amanda says it all. I am in my early 40s (how did that happen) lol i have no idea what i want to do when i grow up either, but like you i am looking into the fitness side of it. We have a huge shortage of Les Mills trainers here and i could work at either of the gyms in my local area but im TOO SCARED! :( Anyways, i am also interested in Healthy eating and so am studying Nutrition:) Loving it, at 25 you have yonks to figure out what you want to do....like i tell my kids...TRY IT ALL!!! Good luck:)
Do you read the old stuff? I'm just catching up on your wonderblog... Oh, Lauren it's that horizon where everything always looks possible that makes our lives worthwhile...the fact that you are constantly heading towards it is great...it's those that stand still and don't care what's over it that you have to worry about! And you are not a stand still type of girl!!
There are lots of people, thoughts and ideas still waiting for you to experience and wonder over...I am glad I am just a part of that...
