My mother
once told me that every stage in our lives prepares us to the next. Like
school prepares you to college and college prepares you to work (at least
in some countries). But I can't help
but wonder, am I prepared? Am I
prepared for anything different than what I'm currently doing? I'm now living a free life. I have no responsibilities in
life or at work. I'm just an employee; I don't manage others or projects. I'm
single, so I'm not committed to anything or to anyone. This sounds cool, right? I enjoy my life; do whatever I
want whenever I want. But I can't help but wonder am I qualified for anything
else?
Am I prepared to be a manager one day? Am I prepared to be responsible for projects and teams under my management? Will I excel with the stress that comes with new position?
Am I prepared to get married? Am I even prepared to be in a relationship?! Will I bear to have someone sharing every and each detail of my life? Do I have the ability to be emotionally involved with someone in the first place?
Am I prepared to be a mother one day? Am I willing to trade my freedom and carefree attitude to take care of a child?
A lot of questions in my head desperate for answers, but I have none. All I can think of is that all those questions about new situations in life introduce some advantages of these different life styles that I lack now in my life. But, they also have their disadvantages that scare me a lot and the right question to ask is, are we willing to give up what we already have to experience new life styles with all the good and bad in them? Are we prepared to take a leap of faith? to go after our dreams?
just always keep in mind, be aware of what you wish for.
