I am about to start prepping for my CPA exams, and hopefully in the process will follow through on applying for some jobs in the area in my field of interest. As much as I would like to have a job, and be working right now, it has been very nice to relax and reread some of my book collection as I muddle my way through unpacking.
I keep thinking about a quote by Karen Ravn, that has on my wall on and off over the years that continues to inspire me
tomorrow is a path I've yet to choose,
it's a chance I've yet to take
a friend I've yet to make,
it's all the talent I have yet to use.
Tomorrow is a dream that leads me onward,
always just a step ahead of me...
it's the joy I've yet to know,
for it's the person I have yet to be.
Something as eloquently put as that should be shared. The poster that holds it was published by Hallmark in 1980, and I am in desperate need to try and restore my personal copy. One that to this day I don't know where it came from, or how it was passed down to me, but am extremely glad to have.
I hope to live up to this quote. That I will look to the future as the gift it is. One filled with choices, that influence the person I am. I can look at the past, see the choices I have made thus far, and accept the person I am today, and embrace the possibilities of tomorrow.
The blessings that I have received this point, are as a result of goals that I have set for myself in the past, and have diligently worked for. My degree is one of many of my accomplishments of which I am proud. Though at present, I may feel lacking in my talents as a resent graduate without a job, I will endeavor to take chances. In order to follow through with my conviction to help others succeed and understand how to make their finances result in the lives they which to live.
I just happen to find this very accurate bit of wisdom that also references Karen Ravn's quote, and thought I should pass it along.
