There are things that you must do and there are things that you want to do. If you have to chose one of them, what will you chose? Thats a big question. But its easy to answer if you ask yourself - what is the purpose of your life? The answer will clear the confusion. Now as far as masters goes, i am determined to do it. Maybe if not now, then two-three years down the line. But in what field? One option is real estate. It gives you big bucks. Security and opportunities to "rise". Thats what people expect you to do. To do well in life. Doing well means raking the moolah. Yeah. i want to marry and have a family. It requires financial freedom but will i marry? will she marry me? i dont know. truly. Maybe I am running after a dream which is not supposed to come true. So? Let me do something which makes me feel satisfied.
I often remember the days when i was expected to Computer engineering because it was the "best bet". I had joined BIT. But look what happened? I didn't enjoy it. So Lord gave me architecture as a birthday gift. What a miracle? So if Lord wanted me to just make big bucks, he'd have made me do BIT. But wanted me to follow my heart. So i did architecture. Now its the same cross roads. I want to do Real estate beacuse its big. Maybe i am not doing it for entirely myself. I am doing it for Papa, my future family, my friends and my realtives and everybody else who can see and appreciate and maybe it will make me more competent to help others.
But what do I want to do? If at all I had nothing to worry about, what would i do? I'd probably live at an airport. Probably I'd go off to Africa and learn about people and how do they live. Or maybe I'd go off to a quiet island and do some small architecture. Now the question is whether I can do all of these? No. Not at the same time. But I can do all of these one by one. Yes its possible. The only thing that I'd have to do is to break my dream of marriage. Maybe its holding me back from experiencing a lot of other exciting things. Maybe i can never have that utopian family dream come true.
I think I should follow my heart and the Lord will take care of the rest. Who knows his ways?
I will apply for masters next year and real estate will not be the only one.
Cheers!
