I agree that most people don’t have a specifically designed career for them. people’s interest change from time to time and also the economy also changes. i have been doing ‘achieving my goals’ meditation and i find it has helped a lot. the guided meditations take you into a trance where you release anything negative that has been holding you back either from other people or by yourself. i often find myself calmer and more focused on my goals without having to wrestle with an inner bully. mercury turns retrograde today and there is a solar eclipse 9/1. i love the universe and the surprises never end:D there are no words to describe the beauty of the universe and nature. i think on my free time from being a molecular biologist, i will be out in nature studying environmental things and also studying astronomy. science has some stuff that corrupts such as the changing genes of children to make children perfect in parents’ eyes, but on the bright side, a child with a disease gene can be changed. so there is always a positive and negative side. i also find that i like spending time with adults and the elderly more than teenagers b/c the adults are more mature and the elderly teach me about the importance of life. volunteering at nursing homes and helping the elderly with a craft makes me realize that the simplest things in life are often the most meaningful and shouldn’t be taken for granted. just to see the sun rise in the morning and having people there to care for you is great. some of the hurtful bullying that i’ve received has mostly been from teens. some of the girls don’t like that i enjoy sports, some of the guys don’t think i’m athletic enough. i remember one of the hurtful comments one teen said to me “you could be a great athlete if you only worked out harder and didn’t have your head in the books.” i tend to balance both athletics and academics and i do it pretty well, but my main goal is to go for academics.
