Bloganuary: The mission unknown

What is your mission?

Bloganuary 2024

My mission depends on what it is. In life, I don’t know what my mission is. But my life isn’t planned ahead. In the end, it’s you who should have the choice of how to live it. At least as far as you can control it. You must have some luck, but I’m not a lucky dog. It doesn’t even get close to me. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. I’ve applied for a graphic design job, but who knows if I get close to it. At least, that’s a mission accomplished. No one can blame me for not trying.

I hope my mission is not about forgetting to live my own life. My father is turning 80 this year, and his memory is not the way it used to be. I hope I don’t need to take care of him and forget my own life. I don’t want my life to change that much. It might sound selfish thinking about this, but it feels like I haven’t lived as much as other people my age. So far, my father is doing fine by himself, but you never know how things could change.

My current mission is to find a job or some kind of work where I can earn money. Other missions are unknown.

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Bloganuary 2024

I’ve learned through the years that thinking about the present is better than thinking about the future. Maybe about the near future, but that’s about it. Things change, so I don’t want to plan far ahead. You won’t be too disappointed if you live in the present. Sometimes I think about the past. Sometimes, you should think about where you have been.

Sometimes, I dream about people that I used to know. I see dreams about my mother where she is alive, but I never talk or see her. It’s been 10 years since she died, but she still appears in my dreams. There are days when I think about how things were in the past. Things were different then, so I like returning to those days. Only the good memories, though. Bad memories only appear when something comes up in the present. Maybe not about my life, but other people’s similar experiences. As I said at the beginning of this post, I only think about the near future, like next week or a couple of days. No time like the present.

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

Bloganuary 2024

The greatest gift someone could give me is the courage to make decisions, especially career choices. It’s easy to say to a person just to do things, but there are things you need to think about before doing anything. It can feel like you’re in a stupor when you keep changing your mind. I know what I want to do, but finding a job is challenging. I wrote about entrepreneurship in the last post, which is where I need the courage for.

No one can give that kind of gift. They can only support you. But that would be the greatest gift someone could give me. The other thing would be more money, but I wouldn’t want to get it for free. That’s where getting a job or becoming an entrepreneur comes in.
