The Suits

Do you have something or someone in your past that you feel is always looking over your shoulder, just waiting for the right time to screw you over? (more on this later...) Do you feel like you are carrying an elephant on your back and are not able to enjoy life to its fullest?

I do not want to be one of those people who go through life and wonder "what if" or "how come I held back on that?" Life is too short to be doing the same thing day in and day out and that was one thing that as a senior in college I did not want to be doing - the same thing every single day of the rest of my life, which I think Corporate America wants in an employee. I am starting to think that Corporate America (yes, does offer some benefits) is not as rewarding as something else I could or want to be doing with my life and therefore am thinking about leaving the common, daunting world of "the suits".

I often look at the people who do not have a secure lifestyle but are always happy in what they are doing with their life. Then I look around at my co-workers and in the mirror at myself and see a secure lifestyle but not so much happiness to be alive. Perhaps that is because we spend 8+ hours a day/5(or more) days a week doing something for something (e.g. a bank) not for someone. I guess if you dig deeper we are doing it for the customer but I am also a customer - so am I doing it for myself?

I am scared to take that leap of faith to go out and explore other possibilities in life but envy those who do more than I can express. Perhaps one of these days I will be the one envied.
