I would like to create a segment/series where I can share my personal thoughts, struggles and motivation to live a life worth living. I am still trying to figure out if I want to call this series "Life Thoughts" or #WisdomNuggets. I'm not sure where I got the idea for wisdom nuggets but I might roll with it.
I have decided for now I will call this #sagacious. Definition: having or showing keen mental discernment and good judgment, wise, clever, intelligent, knowledgeable, sensible.
This quote has been so helpful for me over the past couple of months. Right now I am two weeks away from finishing my MBA. If you had talked to my high school self, I would have told you that grad school would not be my first option. As time had progressed, and my future was uncertain, I felt that I needed to find something to fill my time, something to do with my life.
Reasons to go back to school:
- Job market was a little rough
- A lot of people my age are getting their masters
- Something to occupy my free time
- Helpful for the future
- Make new friends/find someone
For my geographic location, I felt that my options where limited. Although I live in a large city, the traffic to get to some of the schools can be very stressful and hectic. I later found myself at a school that was not my first option, however I am very satisfied with where I am. I was able to meet new people, experience a journey across the world, and prove to myself that although I might have struggled in the past with school, all of that hard work has paid off.
The quote above has helped me stay on track to finish strong. My to-do list consists of: studying for finals, writing papers, and preparing for projects and presentations. It is very easy to give up and walk away when things get tough. However, I believe that struggles and endurance builds character.
The wise words of Theodore Roosevelt can be applied to any one, and their journey. I hope this will help YOU remember why YOU are working hard towards your goals.
