Self Medication

My mind was and still is clouded by the burden of having to choose my career path. One day left for decision making. Perhaps I've already made a decision but I'm still creating doubt for myself because I'm afraid of stepping out from my comfort zone. Money or Brand? Why can't I have both? It really seems unfair that one have to choose between these two extremely important factors. I'm shameless in saying that I'm now, or at least I think I am, leaning towards money going against the advice of some people because the fact is I'm not born with a silver spoon. Having effectively cut off from financial support by this end of the month, the luxury of working for well known company is nearly not viable unless the job comes with a fair pay. In the mean time I'm hoping that I'll have the courage, wisdom and strength to do the right thing. The right thing, as cliche as it may sound, is always (okay, most of the time) to "follow your heart".

Well I'm probably done with asking for advice, temporarily. The thing about asking for advice is that, you'll end up more confused at times. The truth is most of us probably already know what we want but "asking for advice" was more like a way of us subconsciously seeking approval on our choices. When the advice given is supportive of our choices we would then think that the path was meant for us, that our choices are justified because there are people who think so too. However, if it's the other way round it might cause a massive lost in confidence, we may start to think about how our future seems so bleak because nobody seems to share the same sentiments therefore psychologically blinding us from all the opportunities that may have been installed. So in the end, it's best if we make our choices based on what we feel strongly for in the first place unless the advice given is substantial enough to prove that the decision we are about to take will lead us to a dead end.

Advice to self:

1# Stop the what ifs.

2# There's no point in comparing because it's your life, your battle, your only nemesis is yourself.

3# There's more than one way to achieve your goal.

4# It's your career, there's no such thing as guilt! Reject in the name of professionalism.

5# When in doubt, surround yourself with people that will support you no matter what choices you make.

6# Start to live your life to the fullest.

Okay, I'm feeling much better.
