One of the questions that was asked this week is if some days I feel like I was put on this earth for a purpose and other days feel completely lost. I was surprised to hear that question, mostly because it resonated with me as a solid "yes." I have felt that way quite often, which is one of the things that has drawn me to at least learn more about entrepreneurship. I'm not really certain whether or not it's what I want at this point, but I feel like learning about it will be valuable to me and my future.
One of the first lessons I learned about entrepreneurship is to dream big. That's an easy task for me. Sometimes I feel like maybe I dream too big and the only way to possibly tackle any of those dreams is to department from traditional employment at some point. My passions are widely different some each other and sometimes seemingly at adds with one another. I want to be a traditionally published author some day, a dream I have been pursuing for nearly ten years now. Another is to work to help increase the population of exotic animals like tigers. I believe it would be a shame to lose such magnificent creatures. Yet another is to travel and see the world. The more I learn in school, the more dreams I seem to collect. Last year I added a new dream to my list: helping children around the world.
With such conflicting dreams, I knew an English degree wasn't going to help me with all of those; but Business Management with an emphasis in entrepreneurship? To me, that seems like a whole different story and could be very helpful in pursuing anyone or all of those dreams. I don't know how to get to the end of most of those dreams, but "all epic journeys and all paths [...] begin with a first step." I just need to start with one step at a time and I think I'm going to start with the dream I'm closest to, becoming a published author.
