347 days

So far, the most difficult part of this self-imposed search for direction is the sheer vastness of possibilities. 

I have one year of Theatre School and ten years of banking experience - that doesn't particularly qualify me for anything specific, except maybe writing a play about a man that dies, shackled to his desk, in a pool of his own blood that spilled forth from a particularly villanous hang-nail.

What it does mean, is the world is my oyster.  I could literally choose anything!  At this moment in my life, the career possibilities are endless, and it is an entirely overwhelming thought. 

I find myself considering every option.  Seriously - every option.  I got my hair cut - maybe I would enjoy being a barber?  I talked to Kate today - maybe I should be a Manager of Customer Service?  I read my book on the bus - maybe a career in publishing or transportation?  I had lunch with Scott - maybe I should go into Hotel Management or oyster farming?

So clearly, step one of my journey is going to be narrowing my focus, somehow.  I need to discover what motivates and inspires me.  What do I find rewarding and satisfying, captivating and interesting?  What do I want to do?

What do I want to do?

Such a big question.
