Phew! Should have read it straight away then come back after a few days of thinking! Now it will be going round in my head for days! Which is a good thing - I like being made to think!<br /><br />It's easy to get sucked into regrets about the past - but we wouldn't be where we are today and who we are if anything had been different. Much better to focus on the future. <br /><br />I try to live life to the full and push myself to do things, but I know I fall short quite often. All I can do is constantly battle to improve myself and my actions. I'm always reassessing goals and what I'm doing and why.<br /><br />Ok -now I feel like I'm rambling, but I'm off to think some more!<br /><br />What an interesting pledge you have found! Look forward to reading more of the writing challenges!<br /><br />Jill @ Creating my way to Success <br /><a href="http://www.jembellish.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jembellish.blogspot.com/ </a>Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768819845725140776.post-63133450626218567572011-06-20T12:17:57.857+02:002011-06-20T12:17:57.857+02:00Sarina, this comment made my day! I'm so happy...Sarina, this comment made my day! I'm so happy somebody actually read that long post and then it made you think, too! <br />Isn't it riddiculous that you've actually achieved something a lot of young girls dream about - and then you still feel like you haven't gotten it right just because you can't find a job atm? I totally recognise myself in that though. And also that you say you 'just' did research cruises... I'm sure you're playing down a bit there. hey, not everybody gets to do such a cool thing - and more than once!! <br />Good luck with the job, I'm sure you'll find exactly what's right for you! <br />I think I'll be working on my fears a bit this week... oOyagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452763237214067585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768819845725140776.post-37694012474809561472011-06-20T11:12:28.886+02:002011-06-20T11:12:28.886+02:00wow... this is great! So much to think about :)
To...wow... this is great! So much to think about :)<br />To your question, actally I have known since I am fourteen that I want to get a marine scientist and I always worked hard to achieve this goal... now I am 25 and I AM a marine scientist (It was quite a shock to me when I first realised this!) but without a job so far... in some short moments I ask myself if it was the right decision to hold on to that dream? and than I think a bit about it and everytime I say to myself: YES! Even if I am unemlployed at the moment I am convinced that there is a job waiting for me somewhere in the world! I just have to find it :)<br />There are some moments in my life when I didn't done the things a have liked to do because I found some excuses such as you discribe it... one of it was that I always want to have some experience abroad. First in school, later in university. All I have achieved in this point was to do some research crusies to other countries and that was some kind of unsatifying to me... So now I start to search for a job somewhere in UK or Ireland and I have the feeling that this would be best for me at this moment even if there are some fears that I could use as excuses again. But I am sure this time I will not use them! :D <br />So this is a quite long comment but I hope you will enjoy it :) <br />So long <br />SarinaSarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12416662884746651102noreply@blogger.com
