You Can Do It All

The times have changed. A career is not something stagnant. You can do it all with your life and it's quite alright.

I feel like I've been wired and trained to follow the teachings of the previous generation in that after you leave school, you get a job and have a career. You focus on one thing and that's it. Everything else is secondary. But deep down inside this does not resonate very well with me. I feel like I'm leaving something behind when I focus on one and not consider all.

I've received an amazing amount of support and encouragement from friends and their families about my skills and/or talent as a dancer. It's refreshing to have people tell you you should pursue that dream. I must admit if I were to, I'm not sure where to start and I'm scared. But what's a little fear? There's nothing wrong with fulfilling that dream of being on stage dancing my heart out. So I should go for it, right?

If you've read my previous post Dreams and Aspirations you're probably thinking she just wants to conquer the world! And that is exactly what it is!! I feel like I should be allowed to pursue all my passions, not just the more "academically inclined" ones.

It's a difficult decision to make, what to do and when to do it, but you can do it all if you truly want to. Prioritize and be realistic. That's the part I'm working on now.

Thanks for reading.
