I have no idea what to do professionally, but I want to become a specialist, a real expert. That is, I have a presentation, but I seem to doubt the areas I have chosen.
Here’s an example: I want to make wood products. For this I need to master the carpentry craft. But I’m not sure that I will do it further. How to do it then? Try in practice and all? Understand that not mine, and move on?
I tried so much and threw it, because either it seemed to me that I did not need it, or it became absolutely not interesting … Because of this, I am now afraid of the next undertakings.
Maybe it’s not only about the desire to realize oneself in the professional field? Maybe such a state is because there are any confusion in other areas of my life? I don’t understand what to do with it all.
Mark, at the end of the letter you made assumptions in which, perhaps, there is a solution to your situation. Confusion and chaotic throwing can be traced in all areas of life? How is the choice of activities, what stages you are passing? It’s just a desire to do something and that’s it?
Before jumping from a cliff into an unfamiliar river, you need to get acquainted with its depth, condition of the bottom, study the exit to the shore, evaluate your own physical training and several more aspects. One desire to jump is not enough.
You write what you want to become an expert. What does it mean? An expert – a specialist who analyzes and gives an opinion, confirms the quality, they turn to him for a qualified assessment. You still do not know what you will do, but you are already setting yourself up to a high position that controls other specialists.
Maybe this is the reflection of your main problem? It is necessary to find, love, want to study it for a long time and painstakingly, see its versatility and depth. And becoming an expert is already a separate topic for development, since to be able to do your job or give an assessment of activities to other specialists – these are two different ways.
You really need to deal with your character characteristics, abilities, temperament. The profession reflects the personality, which means that you should start by studying yourself. It is then that the case will be determined, which is suitable for you personally, which corresponds to your real capabilities and needs.
No need to try everything in a row and throw it,
it is better to diagnose your potential, interests, expectations and ideas about life and about yourself together with a psychologist. Maybe it is the specialist that will help you unravel the interweaving of dreams, reality, ambitions and hidden problems?
