When we set out for vacation maybe someplace, we’ve never been to before we would punch the address into our GPS or back in the day, we would have a trip tik (showing my age) map. We want to make sure we get to our destination. If we used a compass, we would probably still get there but it might take a little longer.
Back in the day when we had maps one person would drive and the co-pilot would give directions. My mom would use her hands to tell my dad which way to turn, “my eyes are on the road” he would yell, and he would lose his mind. I will save that story for another time.
So why is it so important to have a map or a GPS unit on our journey? To get to where we are going so, we can start our vacation. When on this road trip you see a sign for a diner so you pull off and hear that word “recalculating” and after you get back in the car your GPS will get you back on track.
We use a GPS unit for places we are going for a day trip, restaurant we've never tried, or a vacation. Places that are a onetime visit and we will stay there for a short period of time. Yet “places” like our job we just drove around aimlessly and ended up there. We will spend years maybe decades there yet no GPS or map to guide us to where we are headed or what we want.
“Life” and society say you must go to high school and then college. After all that you look for a job and many people look for a job with no luck and they go back to Graduate School to avoid paying off the loan or working for minimum wage.
Some join the military because they don’t know what they want, or some grew up wanting to be in the military. FOR ALL THAT SERVED THANK YOU!
A weeks’ vacation staying at a nice resort, eating out and excursions $7542.44 we use the GPS unit to get there. The average four-year in state tuition is $25,707.00 per year or 102,828.00 over four years. Out-of-state students pay $43, 421.00 per year or$173, 684.00 over four years. Private, nonprofit university students pay$218, 004.00 over four years.
Most of the students have no GPS to guide them they just have a GPA to guide them and a massive loan to pay off. With the weight of that loan and friends and family telling them they will never pay off the loan chasing their dreams they throw out their GPS unit and get any job.
I was never jealous of anyone’s significant other, car or beautiful home. The only person I was jealous of was the person at a young age that knew exactly who they wanted to be when they grew up and went for it. If that is you, you are not reading this. (ha ha) If you lost your way we will discover how to create a map that will get you closer to your true self. Get you to JOME job plus home equals JOME.
Stay genuine.
