Moving out of my little bubble that was central to university and education, has been an extremely difficult transition for me. I have had so many different expectations about what it means to live and work. Actually having that expectation diminish and becoming one of just living for work, it heart wrenching.
The truth is, it's never what you expect.
As a student your life is well structured with things such as deadlines, coursework and exams and most importantly your free time.
The truth is I never really enjoyed my course and I'm finding full time work challenging too, but I believe it has something to do with not actually finding my true passion yet. The problem is I have no idea what I want to spent the rest of my life doing, and I don't think that many people do.
I've come to realize that finding something you enjoy and working on doing that everyday is the key to a happy life.
Having received my Happiness Planner, I have come to understand this a bit more. Focusing on your attitude to life and becoming more positive is imperative for a happy & fulfilling life. It's so easy to become depressed with the trials and tribulations of the dull repetitiveness of everyday life, and the stresses, strains and drama that are a constant in life.
Having spent the last two weeks in full time work I have been surprised at how dull life (the real world) can really be. The repetition, the need for money, and the responsibility of having to make money to survive. It's exhausting....
As a young person in the current economy, I am at a loss as opportunities are minimal and because of this it takes years to land yourself in a decent financial position and to become fully independent.
So I would like to take the time to say to all young people in my position and also to myself, DON'T GIVE UP!!
Keep chasing your dreams, keep searching for what makes you happy, keep fighting for what you want to spend your days doing, and no matter what your circumstance find little things in life to keep you happy.
