Embracing the possible.

One of the greatest feelings that one could ever have is to feel as though you're headed in the right direction. It's the feeling when you breathe in, and are able to breathe out with ease. It's the feeling when the corner of your mouth turns up at the thought of what's possible. It's the feeling that motivates you to get up, get dressed, and get going. 

I've been experiencing this feeling lately. As I walk to my 8 a.m. marketing class, I don't seem to be dragging my feet as much. On the commute to my internship, I stare out the train thinking about what direction my life could take next--and what direction I will take next to make those day dreams a reality. 

Even though I definitely don't have it all figured out (by any means), it's nice to feel like I'm finally starting to feel comfortable with the future. This confidence, however minute it is, is allowing me to embrace the possible. 

I have grown to become more open-minded in terms of the career I hope to pursue, and where I hope to live after graduation. Somehow, this feeling keeps telling me that I will end up where I am supposed to be. 

Isn't it funny how much we as human beings trust our gut instincts?

These gut instincts are what motivate us. We begin to feel, to trust, that we are headed in the right direction and then act to perpetuate that feeling. This blind trust in such a vague feeling is more than just a fleeting hope or dream--it's you telling yourself that you can make anything happen. 

It's these instincts that tell you to embrace the possible. They tell you to keep going in that direction, even though the road may become rough along the way. They reassure you that you can trust yourself, even when it seems like everything else is falling apart. 

So trust your gut. Embrace the possible. Continue down that road that feels right. You don't need to have everything figured out to know that everything will be alright in the end. 

I'm beginning to feel less intimidated by my future after college. Even if my job prospects are slim and whatever else lies ahead is scary, I know that I will be able to conquer those fears (even if I do so in unexpected ways). I know that it isn't worth it to spend my time worrying--that I should instead be spending my time embracing the possible. 

Happy Wednesday, all.
