The Sky's the Limit :: Really It Is

As kids we have always heard that phrase and others like it. "Shoot for the moon", "You can do anything", "Think outside the box". I think my generation especially does not feel any restraints as to what we can accomplish. This can be a positive thing, but as a twenty-four year old, who just completed a two year fellowship obtaining her MBA and is now in search of "the job", these thoughts seem way too vague.

So... I decided to make a list (you know how I love lists) of the things that I do want:
I want to accomplish great things in my life and be proud of the work that I do.
I want to enjoy working everyday and build new relationships.
I want to be creative and not be limited by uncertainty.
I want to be challenged and grow in each new adventure.
I want to work with a team of individuals that strive for excellence not only in word but in deed.
I want to be true to who I am, never faltering from my core, but always learning.
I want to be transparent, so everyone will know what you see is what you get (just to add another cliche...).
I want to add excitement to the world and find awe in the little things.
I want to laugh at life and be surrounded by those that are continuously optimistic!
I want to be passionate about the place that I am working at.
I want to serve God in all I do and honor Him by using the gifts that he has given me.

I am committed to this list. I do not think that it is all encompassing and I am sure that I will think of other things to add to it. As I search for a job, I will not compromise these desires. I have been honored by the experiences that I have had in the past and know that there are more to come in the future.

What are some of the things that you want in life? It feels good to write it down!
