I went back to school at the end of August and let me tell you, I do not know how people with families and kids do this. Balancing work and school full time is hard enough for me. My boss finally talked me into enrolling in Upper Iowa University's online MBA program. I decided on the Quality Management emphasis, partly because I thought I would get the most out of that area and learn something new. I'm single with no kids so why not now? Remind me that in a few months when I'm seriously questioning it and asking "how much longer?!"...
I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do [when I grow up.] And how, exactly, do some people just know exactly what it is that they want to do, forever? Am I supposed to be having "second-thoughts" about where I'm at in life? Is this a quarter-life crisis? I'm beginning to think so. The worst part of it all is that nobody can tell me what to do, because I have to figure that out for myself. What makes me happy? What will make me happy? Will what's important to me now be as important to me 5, 10, 20 years from now? At what point do people tell themselves to just go for it, make that final decision and not look back? Because at times I wish I were that person.
I'm not thinking about these things because I'm not happy, because I am. I could not ask for anything more in this life of mine without being too greedy. In the meantime, I'm going to keep thinking and keep reading this quote...
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." - Neale Donald Walsch
