Long time no post lol! ok so a couple of days ago I watched a very inspiring YouTube video called "Do whatever you want" By @AmeenOutspoken on twitter and it made me think about the future choices I made and how to get past it by changing my mentality. In my opinion many of us face daily problems which we don't know how to solve whether its minor or major, but one thing im personally facing at the moment is motivation or encouragement to do well in school and also to start thinking about future careers. You may be thinking what has that got to do with the post title but you will see.
My parents have very high expectations as do all other parents but i failed to see that i may not be able to reach them all so for the last two years I have been going along with it thinking its all going to be a dilly dally future until a couple of months ago when it hit me that I don't want to be a doctor like my parents and my whole family want me to be, I looked into my interests and realized that being a doctor is not for me but now i'm in a dilemma. What do I do? do I go on with studying towards being a doctor? should I tell my parents that is not the career I want to take on? Because as an individual I know that doing something that i don't want to do will never end well and I think that you should only take on a career that you will enjoy studying towards and putting a lot of time and effort towards so to me studying medicine isn't worth that.
After watching Ameen's video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Eq3ztYjUI ) I realized that I have to make these decisions because it's my future.
There are many reasons as to why it is important to change our mentality the main reason being that it is important for ourselves to progress and to get things done. Another reason is that is this the mentality we want the future generation to have? To me our current generation is not as up to scratch as the previous ones and I have realized that the levels of motivation (to do anything) has dropped from what I have been told.So it is important to change our mentality for the best for ourselves and for the future generations.
The point is do whatever you want to do whether it is for education,careers,religion, travelling or whatever it is your choice and yours only.Don't let people make these decisions for you because in the end you know yourself best and although people will be able to give you advice it may not always work.Also the environment you're in can make things harder to do but when you put your mind to something it is always possible.
All these points were from the video and I totally agree with it so Jazakallahu khair to @AmeenOutspoken on twitter and check out his videos:
