RELATIONSHIPS VS CAREERS!
Sometimes in life you have to make really hard decisions. Sometimes cupid and destiny send you on two different paths. Sometimes you come to a fork in the road and you have to decide what way to go. Sometimes one of those forks are love or career. You can ether go down the love road or the career mode. Sometimes your dreams collide and don't really mix well together. But why choice between love and career? Why not combine the two roads ahead of you? Why not have the best of both worlds? Why not have your and eat in to? I know this can be easier asked then answered.
Say you meet this amazing woman or man and they are the one! They are the soul mate that you dreamed of and the one you will buy a dream home with, marry, have babies, and grow old together. Say you meet each other in collage then you graduate. You find your dream job! It is a great job with super nice benefits but for some season your partner doesn't like it. They don't agree on what you wanna do with your life. Maybe your job requires you working long hours or being out of town a lot. Your partner feels like you won't spend anytime together or will have enough time to build a family together. Sometimes our loved ones have different dreams for us then we have for ourselves. The subject of careers can gets pretty frustrating. You love your job but your partner doesn't this can cause conflict. Conflict causes you guys to fights. There you are at that fork in the road. Do you go the path of love or the path of career. It won't be easy but you decide to go for the job of your dreams. Your partner really loves you so he or she sticks with you but it isn't easy on them or on you. Your relationship isn't going so well but at work you are the star! You work hard and you get a promotion! You think this is great! I'll make more money so now I won't have to work as much. Now I can spend more time with the man/woman of my dreams. We can finally start to settle down!. Then BOOM! You find out due to this promotion you have move. The move isn't close so you will have to uplift your family and move closer to work. Your partner is so excited and proud of you but doesn't want to leave the dream home that you built together. There is that fork in the road again. Which way this time? Stay in your dream home and don't take the promotion or Go for the promotion and may lose your true love? Look over your relationship. He/she is an amazing person who has supported you and believed in you. You are still madly in love with him/her and still want to take the promotion. What path will you take?
Here is another fork in the road situation. Love is the workplace! A lot of workplaces do not aloud coworkers to have a relationship or relations. You have a great job with great pay. Everything is going great when your boss asks you to show the new guy around the office and to train him. He isn't what you expected. He is very handsome and charming. As you show him around the office you both hit it off. When the work ends he asks you if you would like to grab a drink. It isn't a date and you guys are just potential friends so you say yes to drinks. You both have a great evening and you find out that you both have a lot in common with each other. You both share a cab and he even walks you up to your door. Before saying good night he asks if you would like to go out to dinner on Saturday night. Like on a date. You had such an amazing evening and you really like this guy but you know that you could get in trouble with work. This is a fork in the road. Do you go out to a nice dinner with this really charming and nice guy and maybe get in trouble at work or Do you decline the date and not take the chance of getting in work? You say yes to the date because it is only one date, nothing serious, and you really enjoy your time with him. The date goes amazing and you feel your self falling for this guy. You starting dating and it ends up in a serious relationship. You have kept it hush hush but then he proposes and of course you say yes! Getting married means you can no longer keep it a secret from your work. So here is the fork in the road again! Your workplace does not allow coworkers having any type of relationship. So you have to decide what path to take marriage or your job?
Some people know exactly what they want to do in life then their are others who have no clue what they want to do. Sometime you get into a relationship where your partner knows exactly what they want to do and you are just all over the place. Sometimes there are so many jobs that sound so good to you that you can't choice what you want to do. This can be very frustrating in a relationship because your partner may not understand your problem. They know exactly what they want so they don't understand why you can't just pick a job type. They mite want you to be a teacher and you want to be a nurse. In their eyes it is about what pays the bills not what make you happy.
In life there are many cross roads you will come across. There is no way around it. There are hard choices that sometimes you just have to make! My advice is always follow your heart. Do what you know is going to make you happy. If it comes down to a promotion or your relationship say to your self what is best for me. If your partner isn't willing to move for your promotion look over your relationship. Is this relationship less or more important then your career? Are you happy in your relationship? Is this someone you can't live with out? Is there any promotion opportunities where you don't have to wake a move? Can you work from home? There will always be ways to move up in your career where you won't have to make a move. I will never understand this but if your workplace does not allow coworkers to have relationships remember you can always find another great job but you only have one true soul mate. Keeping living! Keep loving!
