Sean,
this is great, i’m in my mid twenties’ dropped out of berkeley to find my emotional center and direction , still looking — still deciding — tried preschool teaching, massage therapy, taking care of camels and zebras and othe exotic things for low rent, writing, meditation, work-study at apiritual retreats, ecstatic dance, sufi stuff — now i’m intent on coming back to earth and using my gifts to help poeple particuallarly in the education field — you have amazing courage – i recognize that in myself (even in the midst of “lostness”) – i do things but i’m not head strong enough to push through barriers so apparantly– maybe it’s my pisces way0 – to be more subtle — but this society needs some major reworking thus it’s exciting to see you advertising the zest of Self satisfaction – deep satisfaction so well. i bet very few people know what you’re actually doing so don’t listen to much well meaning outsiders, keep to your forming vision.
blessings on your way.

Hi, I’m in a similar place in life where I’m wondering about what I should do next. I have just graduated from university and I feel such relief! Just being in school has suffocated so much of my social life, yet I love the field I’ve chosen to study(biology) and for the most part I honestly can’t imagine a better thing to do right now than to be a biologist. However, there are many fields within biology and I have all these fears also about how I am doing about to start a masters program just because it’s something that’s expected of me and something I can do. Also, it’s hard to come from a family of immigrants that came to Canada dirt poor and justify not getting a stable job when I have the opportunity to. It is hard, but I work on the no regret principle – given the job opportunities I have right now (I’m planning to work on prairie dog behaviour in 4 month that basically involves me paying to work 12 hour days with no days off, but I get to know a whole prairie dog colony!), I would definitely regret not taking up such an opportunity and so however much hardship I see in it and however much I anticipate having moments where I’ll hate my job, I have to do it. I’m beginning to believe that I can only find out what I truly like by jumping into it, but your website and project has helped me remember that I should have the courage to jump out of what I don’t like to do also. Good luck everyone on finding and living your passion!

Hi Greetings from China. Born in the 80s, I’m about to finish my masters’ degree. I still don’t know what i want to do with my life. I feel there are infinate possibilities and don’t want to settle right now. But as many people mentioned, by not making a decision, I end up realizing none of the possibilities. And i never feel really passionate about something, you know. There’s not a moment in my 22-year-life when i feel: that’s something i MUST have! I guess most of the time it’s all talk and no action. I just sit there,complaining about how unfulfilling my life is, and not doing a thing. That’s why i admire your courage. Few people have the gut to do what you are doing.
Wish you best luck with all your passion-seeking endeavors, and share the passion~~

What you’re doing is a real inspiration to me, since I haven’t left university yet, and I’m getting “choosing a job” stuff from the placement office. What you have shown me has allowed me to see much wider and further than what I originally have perceived, and much more than what people have told me, or offered me.

Thank you.

I admire your honesty. I feel the same way which is why I canâ€™t put down my goals and give up my hopes in pursuing what I love. I fear the truth in life being too short. I fear being suck and uninspired. I fear saing â€ I hate my life and my job.â€ Maybe I have a Disease it is called Dreaming.

Thanks for the comments!

Jay – you are right, it is my adventure. We must all find our own way, though if following a long with my journey can help others in any way, that’s awesome. If not, well, keep exploring.

Cheers,

-Sean
