Journey









I seem to always be on a pursuit to find what I want to be when I grow up.  I just never thought I will still have to ponder this question at 30.  It's not that I do not know what I am good at.  That last few jobs that I've had, I have become a jack of many trades.  I went from working for the most dynamic team in the hospitality business to the publishing industry.  I can suggest an excellent pairing of food and wine to designing a marketing collateral.  But I can't hone in on what exactly is my passion.  Even my blog is having an identity crisis.  (Probably a very big sign of why it's taking me so long to post anything)
As I am still searching - I found out society plays a huge role.  Granted if you let society dictate your insecurities.  Is it due to all the choices that are given to us that cause such a rift of what we want to do?  Are we too overwhelmed with a variety of possibilities so we can't make a decision?  I am still willing to pursue the journey but I am going to start going back to basics.  So when the next person ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"  I will simply reply..."Happy. Yet I am still optimistic that I will be able to find a career."

So tell me, what was your journey to find out what do you want to be when you grew/grow up?  Did you go through a quarter-life crisis?  Third-life crisis? Mid-life crisis?
