earlier this week i was asked,
"where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years?"
because i was in an interview it wasn't the ideal time for self-reflection,
i quickly answered the questioned and moved on to the next.
but this week it's really stuck with me.
since graduating from college i kind of feel like i've had a "quarter-life crisis".
all my life i've planned for college. saving money. good grades. applications.
i worked hard those 4 and a half years. declared my major. studied a lot. gave it my all.
and suddenly, i find myself done. graduated. with a not-quite-sure what to do next mindset.
as i was driving home from my inconsistent job, i drove past the parking lot and up the mountain.
my favorite place to sit and think.
as i looked out over the valley i realized just how small my perspective is, and how much bigger it can truly be.
i didn't get any major answers, or any small ones at that, but i realized, there is a much larger plan in the making.
and it might just require a little patience to wait and see what's coming up next.
i love the last bit about not gaining any big or even small answers. sometimes all we get is peace and perspective, and sometimes that's all we really need.
ReplyDeleteAshley reading your blog is refreshing. It's interesting how even the loving, "this isn't the answer, but be patient, i have plans for you" is kind of an answer in its own way. I love this gospel.
