Follow yourself not society

[goldpower123]

I struggle sometimes between the agenda of what I am "expected" to do, and believing in myself and simply doing what I want to do. It's also the definition of career. It's like all career is, is to go to university, study a generic field, get a well trodden job and serve the government. But doing it this way is so lame that literally I don't have a career choice. It's not even an issue of subject choice or which field, because it's not on my own terms: I really don't give a shit about studying pointless stuff unless it is about myself, my deep passions or outside the box; which isn't 'rational.' I guess that's the cost of committing to something more is dealing with all your fears.

I spoke to so many people last year when doing my Diploma who had studied multiple times at different courses, switching subjects, spending so much, and people who quit during the course. It made me think maybe it's better to pause on career and simply get my shit together, work, improve my health, my foundation etc. I'm more motivated and inspired to work just to know I'm improving as a person than actually settle down for a career. 

It's like what's the point of going to Uni other than to serve the government. I'm not taught anything about myself, how to think for myself or think outside the box, but that's the setup. It's like what's even the point of a career for me as an individual. Low conscious trap. I'm just thinking this stuff up and sharing it because damn traps are real mentally and out in the world. Because I see some people around me living these traps and they don't even know it themselves.

Bottom line: Do what you want and make choices for you, not for other people
