Sometimes I'm not sure what to think about things. Today marks 2 years that I've been at my current job. It's been good as far as making money and putting it away. I've learned a lot from practice that you can't quite pick up just based on what you learn in classes. So I am grateful for the time I have spent there. I just feel sometimes that life is now on autopilot and I'm not really advancing.
I guess advancing is a bit of an uncertain term. You have to specify what you are advancing toward. I don't really have any interest in "climbing the corporate ladder" or whatever. Mostly I just want to live my life and not have to worry about much and not have to slave away.
Some of it stems from the fact that I think I saw Fight Club at exactly the wrong point in my life. The movie gets pretty whacky by the end, but the first half has some solid advice I think. Mainly the line "We work jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need" always resonated with me. Toward that end, I've tried to limit my spending so that I don't end up in that position. Maybe the makes me a crappy American or something. I just don't have any desire to be in debt.
Anyway, I'm not sure what I'll do, but I think I will like to work towards living deliberately. Doing things to move myself towards some goal, rather than just rolling with the tide and seeing where I end up. I think I've done more than enough of that lately.
