The future…

When I was little, and I’m sure this is the same for many of you, my career options were huge. I dreamed of being a ballerina, a bee, a librarian, a doctor, a teacher and so much more, but as I have grown older, most people’s dreams have narrowed greatly. People my age often worry more about the money that their main career option is going to pay more than whether they actually like it.

Jobs are a very exciting thing, and I know that many do have certain areas of work that they want to enter, but we must try our best to have a variety of options for the future to make sure that we are not setting out our life’s path. What I mean is that we would be happier and  achieve more if we avoid saying things like ‘I will work in…’, or even ‘I will go to this school’, because the truth is that we are going to change, and should always have open minds to allow for this change.

If we only base all our studying and our life on that one job, then we will probably have very boring lives, because not only may that area of work not be right for you and leave you with no other career options, but we may have missed chances to do with other things that would have suited our life much better than the career we ended up choosing.

So overall, I think that it is very important that we do what we love in our lives, but also that we open our eyes to see other possibilities that had never occurred to us.

Bring out your inner child and dream big.

See you soon

Make a difference…

The other day, on the way to school I was on the tube when I looked around me. Everyone was either on their phone, reading a book, reading the newspaper, muttering to a friend or just minding their own business. There was absolutely nobody doing anything out of the ordinary. At that moment, after a bit of thought, I really wanted to stand on my seat and shout (in a ‘respectable’ way) and tell everybody to do what they wanted to do to make their own mark on the world.

Lets say that you do only live once. Imagine dying after a life of achievements that no one but the people you spoke to know about. Imagine dying after not leaving even a fingerprint on the world. When I talk about dying, many of you are probably thinking that I am being incredibly dark and negative, but I don’t think of dying as something negative, as it is something that is going to happen to many of us- but that is for a whole other blog post.

Personally, when I die I want to have made a difference to the world for good, or at least have my mark on the earth that people will realise. I do not understand how people are expecting to live and make their voice heard in the business of the world  if we can’t even be ourselves in public.

Now, I am not saying that everyone should right now walk out into the street and scream, or do anything else to express yourself, because I understand that that would take a huge amount of gut and courage, but I just want the whole world to stop being full of isolated individuals, and turn into a place where you can sing out loud as you walk your dog, or start dancing on the tube, without everyone thinking your really strange. The only reason why we are not all making differences to the world is because we are scared of society turning around and staring at us, and so we prefer to hide.

So I encourage everyone to do small things to help make a difference, and don’t be afraid of the consequences.

See you soon
