Finding my Occupational Path...

"If you know your musical path, it will solve the instrumental problems." -Robert Marcellus

I thought for my first post I would discuss the first of three paths. The quote above has been really speaking to me this past couple of days mostly on a musical standpoint but on a real life standpoint as well. There are 3 major pathways that I am dealing with right now. Pathway one is about my career. Pathway two is my music. Pathway three is about my dating/social life.  Knowing where each path goes I know will help to fix the "instrumental" problems. Here is what I have observed so far for my career or occupational path:

My career path is becoming more known. Unfortunately, over the past 10 years I have taken on the advice of others on what I should do for my career. Their advice was from the heart and in the interest of me; however, how I should have responded was by taking their advice into consideration but addressed my heart first. However, that did not happen and now I have been filling up with regret and fixing it. I need to be myself. Before 2010 I was very into music and wanted it to be my career; but, I do not want to waste my recent education. Therefore, my "career" path is to combine music and therapy as one: Music Therapist. However, this will still take time as I need to take music therapy classes and then I will be done. As for now, when I receive my credentials as an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor (ACMHC) I will be a regular therapist and receive my hours towards my license and will beginning to get music therapy classes.

Next post will be on my musical pathway so stay tuned...
