Making difficult choices

After receiving all your lovely comments on yesterdays Instagram post, I wanted to talk about making difficult choices a little more in depth. This is a personal post, since Im sharing my own story, but you can find a general message in it. I've kept it short and sweet for you. 

We must let go of the life we've planned, so as to accept the one who is waiting for us. I, for example, never thought I'd study Law in uni. I was 'supposed' to be a dance teacher. Having my own studio and teach all kinds of dance was what I dreamed of. I've spend more than half my life training to see everything fall into pieces in the end. Yes, I was heartbroken but I knew all was going to work out just fine! After I found a new path, becoming a lawyer, I'm finding myself again at a very difficult point in my life. 

When I was running errands yesterday, my brain seemed to mess with me. I suggested to take the watch upstairs, while I meant the elevator. Later, when I wanted to try on a pair of sunglasses, my brain messed up words again and I called it something totally different. This, together with dealing with fatigue and pain all day every day, makes me uncerfain about my future sometimes. Is it even possible to become a lawyer or work at the International Court of Justice in this stupid condition? 

Before starting uni I never asked myself the question whether or not being a criminal defence lawyer was in my reach. But since the past year or two I do. Will I become a lawyer after all or do I want to find a job in teaching (at uni) after I finish my masters? And will that masters be in Criminal Law or Philo of Law? Maybe I will create my own job and do something totally different.. I don't know. If I've learned only one thing in life, it is to be flexible. Everything will fall into place in the end!
