Searching for My Destiny

I always thought I am clear of what I want in life, what I like to do etc. Not until started job hunting and working.

I am sure about my goal in life: to make the world a better place. It is not really saving the world. It is simply leaving a clean profit, bringing more benefits to the world rather than minuses. My final career, has to be directly contributing to the benefits of the society, whether it is working with old people, orphans, or teaching etc.

But what is my profession in my life? Looking at my strengths and interests. I can say that I like dealing with people, come up with creative (stupid) ideas, keep things nice and tidy and fun. Having got out of Food Science and decided that this is not something that has me burning with passion, I don't have much basic for other career profession. I like marketing, but I don't have any backgrounds in marketing. I don't mind teaching or in non-profit organisations but just want to work in somewhere else first.

Searching, thinking, examining with personality tests... I bump into a few articles in my Google Search which gave me a new perspective of my soul (career) search.

“It isn’t normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” - psychologist Abraham Maslow

What I just realised is, I can never find out what I am meant to be, just by sitting there and analysing alone. I have to do the work and experience, only I get to feel what is suitable. Be in the moment.

"Moments matter most. Build off of a few strong moments, follow the path they lay out for you, and trust your direction. They will not let you down." - Marcus Buckingham, Oprah article on "How Do I Discover My Purpose"

Guess for now, let go of searching. Just do it and ehi passiko (means "come and see" in Pali language)! As my future is built by all the present moments. If the moments are fitting and fantastic, so will my future be :)
