The Best Way to your Future.

Lisa, fictitious name, asks Aurelius about the best way to choose a professional future, as both she, who is about to finish her high school studies, and her best friend, who completed them last year and has not yet started her career because she is unsure of what she should study. "I don't know," Lisa writes, "what my role is in my future, and I feel lost and confused." The following is Aurelius’ response

Dear Lisa,

I understand your frustration and the uncertainty you may experience when faced with choosing your professional future. Seeing a gloomy panorama with no glimpse of light in it, especially when close people around you are experiencing the same doubts and fears, let me tell you first that this is a common stage in the process of growth, both physically and emotionally. Secondly, I want to remind you that you are not alone in this situation.

All of us, at some point in life, have had doubts about the future and, most importantly, doubts about our role in that uncertain future presented to us. However, the vital piece, what will give meaning to our perception of our role in the future, is not external but within us.

Because the true discovery of our purpose and the blossoming of our potential lie in the deep connection with our own essence. It is not a specific career or field of study that defines you, but rather becoming aware of the intrinsic value of your being, knowing that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to through the professional platform that resonates best with you.

In that vast and complex world, we call the future, it is easy to get lost in external expectations, comparisons, and the opinions of others. But amidst the uncertainty and storms of life, let us remember that the power to shape our destiny resides in our hands and in our hearts.

Listen to the inner voice that whispers your most authentic passions and dreams. Cultivate the courage to follow your intuition, even when the path seems uncertain. Dare to explore, make mistakes, and learn from them. For it is in challenges and adversities that you will find the growth and wisdom necessary to write your own story.

No matter how many times you face uncertainty, never forget that within you lies immense creative potential and a unique spark that can illuminate the world. Tune in to your gifts, develop your talents, and shine with authenticity. Trust in the process of your growth and in the power of your choices.

Remember, dear Lisa, that the future is not just a distant destination but a blank canvas waiting to be painted by your actions, values, and dreams. Don't seek your role in the external world, but cultivate the connection with your inner self, and from there, you will be

able to transcend limits and leave a significant mark in this vast universe.

Go forth, brave explorer of the future! Discover, create, and stay true to yourself, for in that path of authenticity, you will find the meaning and fulfillment you yearn for.

With affection,

Aurelius
