I think we all have a purpose in life, finding it can be, for some, simple and for others not so much, then, when someone manages to find that which motivates him beyond money, no matter how much he stumbles, he will have the necessary impulse to get up. I think that when you know what you really want, there is no way you can't be successful and happy.
A couple of days ago, I was telling you that I was in a talk on work motivation, in it, the psychologist touched on that topic, encouraging us to find our purpose, our passion, what we love and then our life will be more enjoyable. There is a phrase that says something like, dedicate yourself to what you love, so you will never have to work and I think it is true. That makes me think of famous athletes, like soccer players or baseball players, who earn a lot of money doing what they are passionate about and I imagine it must be very satisfying.

She told us that she wanted to study psychology, however, her parents could not afford it and she ended up studying languages. But after she started working, then she dedicated herself to study what she really wanted, now she is dedicated to psychology and she feels that she is not working, because that career makes her happy.
It got me thinking, because, coincidentally, my daughter also wants to study psychology, but we, as parents, find it difficult to make it possible. Will history repeat itself? I want to do everything I can to make sure it won't be like that.
In my case, I have gone through several stages, I think I have not really found that passion I was referring to before.
When I graduated from high school, I thought about studying psychology (I find it very curious that my daughter also wants to study that career without me having mentioned it to her before), but I only managed to get a place for Petroleum Engineering, when I didn't even know what it was about. From my high school experience, I did not like physics and engineering is applied physics, I did not like the idea and I thought about changing careers as soon as I finished the first semester.
For one reason or another, in the end I did not change and managed to graduate, although I confess that it was hard for me to adapt to the pace of study, the first three semesters; however, I feel that facing so many obstacles, made me overcome myself.
My working life, as a Petroleum Engineer, has been satisfactory, however, I liked it more when I was able to work as a Geostatistician, generating 3D models of the subsurface, of the prospective reservoirs in the area that corresponded to me. I would have liked to continue in that position, but I resigned to come to the city where my husband worked, because we had been living in different cities for 9 years.
Now I work as a Reservoir Engineer, which is the position I started working in the oil industry.
But right now, I don't even want to be a Geostatistician anymore, I would rather like to retire and enjoy the rest of my days, dedicated to cryptocurrencies and my virtual world. Sometimes I wonder if that is wrong.

I think that we are simply burning stages, although I am grateful to have lived each and every one of them, which have led me to where I am, because even thanks to the change of job, I had for the first time a blog and I met the crypto world, in which I have focused my plan for the future.
I love this feeling of freedom that you feel when you generate money, in something you like and being your own boss. I plan to continue working in that direction, to make it a profitable activity, so that besides being enjoyable, it can be useful to me.
In short, I am grateful for everything that has brought me here, because it has made me who I am and has given me the family I now have.
Thank you for joining me through these lines.
Life from gratitude is a life full of blessings.
