? What Now ?
I have really struggled latley with what the next step of my life (Career/Job) would look like; over the past few weeks I have heard alot on this topic.

One thing I have learned is it is not about where you are going as much as it is about who you are going to be when you get there. Another thing I have picked up in the last week is that you never know what day will be our last so why waste them worring about making money and fitting our lives into the "American Dream". Lastly and this goes hand in hand with the comment before, is what we are going to do today worth the price of one of our of days? Meaning we only get so many to cash in, so are we willing to spend them on what we did today?
