 |  I want to know NOW!
Intellectually, I want to enjoy the journey of switching careers from retail to IT. Emotionally, I want it all. I want to switch careers now, I want my certifications now, and I want to know what degrees to pursue now. How do I develop more patience with myself? How can I truly enjoy the journey and take it one day at a time? |

Creative observation is the answer. You know you have the goal now, but you also know you build in a little time delay to sense the enjoyment of attainment. Like waiting in line to ride the rollercoaster, you do want to wait a little, for it increases the thrill of the ride, but not too long otherwise it gets frustrating. If you sat on the rollercoaster 24/7 you'd get bored. So know the goal is yours, but play a little (purposeful) game of delay and denial just enough to keep it exciting. Max |

If you really are a geek... you should view logic and rationality with high regard... they should be some of your main values... A logic and rational person would not expect to flip and switch and be immediately transported a couple years down in the future... So, my advice to you would be to prioritize your values and be governed accordingly... The very best of luck to you... PS. - When I get impatient... I repeat the mantra, "Patience Jackass... patience..." and, for some reason it makes me smile and it helps...  . |

geekchic9... My advice is to shift your focus from wants to needs.... Identify why you want this so badly.... Do you think it will make your life better? Make you happy? fill a need?.... Needs bring you back to the now enjoy the now... know that each class, each assignment, each certification fills a need to get you where you want to go... I think you just might find some great times, awsome moments in the now |
