Obstacles

What do your obstacles look like?

Well, right now one of my biggest obstacles is figuring out my last year's internship. I have an opportunity for this upcoming year's internship with my work but I am really concerned with the following year's internship which must be different. It seems as though one of my goals is turning out to be an obstacle to full-time paid work at a place which I really enjoy working at. 

Another obstacle is how I view time. I am often a person who is willing to work really hard but I easily succumb to living in the present moment. In the present moment, it seems best to take full-time work but in the long run, it will be unmanageable and still be able to finish my MSW.

I would have to say though that my biggest obstacles often look like...me.

I guess it just depends on how I view things. For the most part, I'm a glass is half-full kind of gal. I often go by "Lucky Liu" because I really do feel like a have a lot of luck and success because of my optimism. Where I become my own obstacle is when I either am indecisive about something or when my optimism is overkill and I plan on doing too much at once.

I once had a friend/landlord say that you should never regret a decision because at one point, that is what you wanted. I like to think of this advice whenever I change my mind about something :)

How do I plan for the future when I can't see the future?

I don't have an answer for that...
