I seem to wonder when people talk about their future career plans
It seems just stating one’s preference for a choice of an engaging vocation
It is a simple matter of how you spend your time while earning your living
It seems all a fuss stressing on clarity on long-term goals to facilitate your survival
On one hand, they say, life is dynamic and you need to adapt and change
On the other hand, the jargons kill one’s enthusiasm ensuring you go out of range
It is not just a matter of motivation, preferences changes with time
So why be finicky and insist on past credentials that may actually be past its prime
It seems that man is just a function of academic background and previous roles undertaken
His life experiences have no value when people lack clarity on competency that matters
Each man is compartmentalized and in the rat race assigned a given laboratory tag
It hardly seems to matter that action or inactions actually induces a groaning gag
Each man seems to only bother about his unique fight for survival
And acknowledges his grudging acceptance of conscious self denial
He seems to lack the energy or burning desire to break down the wall
He is safely entrenched in his comfort zone envisioning the long haul
The daily factors around us urge one to periodically evaluate and think
Life is never static and what worked may in the future no longer tick
So why be rigid and develop entrenched self defeating patterns
When you can openly embrace the Universe and nourish your own farm
The challenge comes when we seek external affirmation for our different views
Wisdom may not be a gift for those who hardly make time to look at the morning dew
As one sets sail on the Universal Ship called the Unknown Journey of Life
It may be better to live up to your calling rather than having to endure strife!

Hmmmm....u got me thinking on several fronts here. The internal struggle between a career plan or lack of it is highly gut wrenching and emotionally nerve wracking, especially for free spirited individuals who flourish in the face of unknowns and uncertainties. Six years into the current role, marriage, financial liabilities and my inability to broaden my horizons and knowledge base have eroded the free spirit mindset and conditioned me to plan and strategize. To each his own, I rediscovered that a lack of career plan is what works best for me and I am going to stick with it. Uncluttering is what I am doing and getting back to my roots to repossess the exuberance and excitement tied to a journey with no clear destination/goals. It worked like magic in the past and maybe it will this time around. Time will answer how this journey of ours will shape up this time around.
