The Gears are Turning...

Last night, I was contemplating the future. I had a fun day at work; the whole week has been successful & interesting. And, as bright young professionals tend to do, I was dreaming about what’s next.

Where will this fantastic job take me? Where do I want to be in five years? Ten? What are the steps required to get there?

Flipping through The Alchemist, as I always do when thinking big thoughts about life, I had to laugh at myself. I realized that I really do believe there’s something bigger — some force, flow of events, whatever — that takes us in the direction that will make us happiest. We just need to learn to listen for it. And with it in mind, we will find the things of our dreams.

So I begged the world for a sign.

Today, I got it.
