In Parker's article, he discussed about success and how that applies to us. As I have stated in previous blogs, success is defined, to me, as a life filled with happiness. Happiness is me waking up everyday and enjoying what I will do, and not living with regrets. I would love to be a millionare, and not struggle financially, but I would take struggling financially, if I love what I do. Many people ask me, "What do you want to do when you graduate college?" When they hear my response they automatically put me into a category in their head, and they believe that I am going to be just like every other lawyer, or doctor. It is not true though. I do not need to fix myself to fit a job, but find a job that fits my personality.
The first thing I need to do before I get a job, is figure out who I am. I can never be successful if I never take the time to actually look at myself, and discover what will truly make me happy. I agree with Parker, that I should be finding who I am rather than who i am suppose to be. He makes several valid points throughout the reading, and his understanding of vocation and success are similar to mine. As I have stated above, before I worry about finding my true vocation and being successful, I need to indentify who I am first.
