I have been asking myself the same question for months. Actually years, and I still don’t have the answer. My name is Kelsey Douglas and I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up, only that I want to be happy and love what ever it is that I do.
It has taken me months to say that and not freak out a little in the back of my mind. A few months ago I had a breaking point in my life. I finally realized that I am so hard on myself that it is affected my life, my work and my health. I was causing unnecessary stress on myself and no matter who was in my life I just couldn’t get out of the rut. Finally I just had enough and came to terms with one thing. I need to fix me, fix the way I think and the pressure I put on myself.
Today I pushed back my GMAT test to the first weekend of February, and had no guilt. I am not ready to take the test and I am ok with that. This test is an investment, something that will help me get where I want to go when I know where it is I want to be. Step one is now checked off, set a test date that is appropriate for myself.
My answer to who am I- is a person who wants to be successful in what ever it is I do with my life. I want to love my job, love where I live and make enough to support myself and then hopefully a family one day. Will I be working if I have a family? I don’t know, that is something to think about another day. Today is just celebrating the fact that I am ok with taking my life slow and figuring things out as I go.
