Climbing the American Ladder: To Experience True Freedom

By Aldious a Waite

As college graduates, we start out feeling very optimistic about our future careers, but as soon as we experience some troubles coupled with the burnout from our routine life, we suddenly want to change direction, but will stop ourselves short, fearing that we won't succeed because after all, we never developed our true passions. We never went to college to learn how we might use our passions to earn a living; instead, we went to college to learn subjects that might help us to make the most money. But getting a job doesn't mean that we'll experience the life we dream about. That routine life: every morning we must wake up to the sound of an alarm clock; this makes us feel as if we're climbing a mountain, but we won't ever make it to the top. We suddenly realize that we have chosen the wrong career path.Having true success is not about how much you make; it's about what you do for a living, it's about being happy and having peace of mind. You must know how to apply your education to real life experiences. Mastering algebraic equations don't make sense if you'll never apply them to real-life applications. Your education must help you get where you want to go; it must enhance your blueprint for success.Academic education teaches us how to qualify for jobs, but it does not teach us how to create jobs, and it does not teach us how to become entrepreneurs. The right education is not academically-polite, because it has nothing to do with test scores and pedagogical ideas; unless one's goal in life is to become a university professor or something of the like.Our education begins when we learn who we are as individuals: what we like, what we don't like, and what makes us feel free. We are not here to discover the world, but rather, we are in the world to discover ourselves. Whatever path we choose, it must lead to work that gives meaning to our lives. As James Allen said, "the world is your kaleidoscope, and the varying combinations of colors, which at every succeeding moment it presents to you are the exquisitely adjusted pictures of your ever-moving thoughts." Whatever path we choose, it should lead to work that gives meaning to our lives.
