Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

Commitment is scary in all aspects of life, but especially when it comes to picking a career path after college. All of our previous experiences have been measured in semesters, quarters, and internships that all had a finite end. Now that we have entered the real world the end is nowhere in sight and many of us are left fearing a life modeled after Office Space.

As we grow up we start to put limits on what we believe to be realistic. We stop asking why not and start asking why. The boundaries we place on ourselves in terms of our mental and physical capabilities hold us back in situations in which we would otherwise flourish. Check out how long distance running has helped me surpass the limits and go far beyond what I ever thought possible. www.thesavvygrad.com

As a recent grad there are pressures and expectations that cloud this intuition. Society says “you will never make it if you do that” and we start to believe them, even though we sense that doing exactly “that” is in line with our true self. Your instincts are almost always right, and if you want to find your calling you should take the time to listen to what they are saying.

Studies have suggested that a pen in hand connects to the human heart far better than a keyboard. Jotting down notes in a day book is a good way to keep your passions in sight or to uncover a passion you never knew existed. www.thesavvygrad.com

Learning how to give more and consume less in every aspect of your life will bring you much more happiness than any material objects. I encourage your to rid your life of unnecessary objects and clutter and to focus more on filling your life with the things that you truly need.
