Is It too Late to Choose the Right Career ?

Its never too late to follow your passion —

Take time to choose the right one…

Many people like me some where or at some point might have asked the question to themselves — “ Is it too late to start a new career ?”. Did you get the answer right away….For me it didn’t strike right away rather took me a while.

Well… not a while it took me a lot of time …10 yrs to figure out. Yes, you heard it right, a good time of 10 yrs. Some might think is it too long ? But for me I took that risk utilizing that time in starting a family, travelling to different places, following my passion of art, learning cooking and many more. There are some occasions when I did feel little depressed. It was not like I wasn’t doing anything, rather I was experimenting with lot of stuff that can help me shaping my career.

When it comes to career, the foremost important thing was to figure out which career you want to go with. Most of us will be in a rush to start a job / to be independent / to make their own identity that they will just pick some or the other career that comes in their way. As a result you will see some numbers in your bank account but will lack that job satisfaction which makes you breathe your work easily.

“Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day become your profession”

It took me 1–2 years to just figuring out which career I wanted to be in. I am glad that I took that much time as I got to experiment with lot of options until I arrived at my dream career which is Designing. Now looking back I think I had that always inbuilt in me but took time to notice. So take time to explore more for yourself and your career. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Sometimes I look back and wonder, had I given a thought about my career before? But its never late to start fulfilling your dreams. Make a right choice about your career which can make your life more lively and acceptable.

Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.

So my thought is always cherish the time you have. Its never too late to be what you might have been rather be like what you don’t want.
