What Does The Future Hold?

A question that I am asking myself constantly because it is something that I long to have the answer to. Now the truth is you will probably never know the future till you reach it. But it seems that we are given guides and visions to help us along the way.

But still a question that I ponder. As I take steps to plan out what are my next choices I stop and thing about the movie Butterfly Effect, taking into account the message that is demonstrated, one choice can and does have a ripple effect on our future and what our future holds. As I sit down and write out goals and plans, I think how will this choice affect my tomorrow. Sitting down a year after graduation there are so many choices to make, grad school, volunteering, working, relationship and so on. Each choice has an effect on another part of your life. So the question is how do you determine what is the right choice.

Priority and end result is my answer!

Many times we make choices for our future or that affect our future based on our present situation. For example after graduating from school I moved back in with my mother. This was hard decision to make because I was going back into sharing a room. I had not shared a room in two years and to make the situation worse it was with a 10 going on 11 year old girl who was extremely opinionated. But looking at my situation I knew that was the best decision for me. It allowed for me to become stable and plan for the next step.

As I look now at the next steps I want to take in life. I sit and measure how this choice will affect how the next couple of years of my life. A simple decision to apply to graduate school, though it can be done in impulse, one should take a step back and think about all options. Thinking about cost? Can you handle the work load? How will this affect my future choices? How will this affect my relationships? But then again a wise woman told me the world can steal your material things but your education they can not take...

Hit me in a month to see where I am in my quest for the thing no one can steal....
