A Final Word

I think that writing these pages has helped me to learn more about myself. I never realized how much expressing internal thoughts into words can really help you to better understand yourself. I have learned that in order to ventilate, you have got to let it out. People, especially fellow students, do not like to hear all of your complaints. Everyone has got enough of their own stresses to not have to deal with yours as well. Journaling is a great way to get bothering thoughts out of your head so they do not just sitting there. It has also reminded me though that giving my worries, fear, and even ambitions to God through prayer and conversation with him, I can find greater peace in my life.

Journaling has restored confidence in myself and allowed me to grasp more troubling concepts. Putting your dreams, your observances, and your fears into words allows them to become more real so that you can continue to either reach them, dig deeper into them or overcome them.

This class has made me a lot more comfortable about my future. "What am I going to do with my life?" has become a more exciting question and less of a troubling one. I have realized that I do not have to have one answer to that. I have accepted that I am allowed to have more than one dream. It all depends on where the opportunities in my life present themselves and my drive to pursue them. There does not have to be and really should not be a set path in today's careers. Innovation is constantly changing our scopes of focus and if we fail to see take those turns in the scope, than we certainly will limit ourselves. We will not only we limiting ourselves, but will be putting boundaries on our field. It is an integration of field of study and ingenuity that will put creativity into an awesome new functionality. Jane Detter is absolutely correct in saying that creativity is becoming the language of today's job force. If we do not think outside of the box, than other countries will move into our box.

It is incredibly important for business people not only to catch sparks of creative energy within their own companies, but to acknowledge innovation in other fields such as science, computers, communication, health ect. Recognizing and contributing to those fields will be essential to the mobility of our economy.

Creativity and Innovation make the world go round. Think and listen. Respect the world around you. Take risks. Ask the Lord for his help. Love and be loved. Be happy and smile. That is all there is to it.
