Life is a journey.

By Neysa Herrera

Few days ago, I met with a good friend of mine. We were talking about business and life. I love those sort of conversations. They make you re-think your ideas and philosophize about the path you are taking in life while you are drinking a warm cup of coffee.

She was telling me she was worried about her daughter Victoria because she is not sleeping enough at night. She barely eat because she has to be studying every time for an exam to be admitted in the medical school. Well, she is a nuclear engineer who is working on the cure for cancer. I don’t understand why she is so worried about her, it makes total sense for me. I know she wants to do huge things and change the world and I am sure she will. That sacrifice must be rewarded.

So, this is what I want to talk about here. Sacrifices are rewarded someday, some way and you will notice. But if you don’t make any, how do you expect to get want you want or live what you always have dreamed of? Life it is a path, yes! ... A journey.  It is a lane where you have to achieve things (goals) and make sacrifices to become in the person that you want to be. In your professional life, you have to follow a Career path that goes from your first day of elementary school ad that will last throughout your entire life.

In this journey every single goal achieved is not an ending but a beginning of a new adventure. The fun with it, it’s up to you. It depends on the passion that you have about your goals that makes you to be the best in every singles thing you do.

So, definitely your future it’s up to you; it’s up to the sacrifices you make along your career path. It’s up to your decision between having fun with your friends in a party or stay at home or in the library studying for your exams. Be aware that every single step, every single move counts for benefit or harm. You decide how you want those moments impact  your life.

Take the control of your life, of your career. Life is a journey but make sure you are the manager of yours. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the professional you don’t want to be. And always remember to advance yourself.
