I would like to discuss what was talked about in upperclassman chapel this week. The speaker spoke about having passion for Christ. He also discussed living a christain life actively. Basically, that we need to stop talking and start doing.
I feel that he was speaking the truth about Christ and about our lives in general. I believe we need to have passion in every aspect of our lives. The careers we choose need to be based on other things then money. I truly believe that money can bring happiness into our lives but TRUE happiness comes from within. If you choose a career because of the money you will make then I believe you will not be happy. I've chosen to major in nursing because I love helping people and I think that is very important. Yes, I know that a nurse makes a pretty good amount of money. Yet the reason I chose this career is because I feel passionate about taking care of people.
I guess what I'm trying to say make sure your major is something you have a passion for, not for the money. Money is nice,but you can't take it with you when you die. And do you want to be remembered for your money or for who you were?

I think you hit the nail on the head. I am having some difficulty right now, because I really would like to be a pediatrician. I am working very hard, and I want to be compensated for it. I do want to be financially stable in my life, but it really shouldn't be the deciding factor of what I want to do with my life.
i agree, also money cannot make you happy. the only thing that can fill that "hole" is God.
It is deffinantly important to have passion in everything we do and that passion should be to bring glory to Christ in everything we do.
You nailed that right on the dime. Money will bring happiness but it is not long lasting. You will soon grow miserable because you just want more and more. I have chosen the career in the medical field as well. My heart's desire is to do medical missions so that I can have the joyous opportunity of helping those less fortunate. Thank you for this encouraging note. You are in my prayers!
I couldn't agree anymore with you on this topic. Money will never make you happy..well, it might for alittle whle but that fades quickly..You should trust in Jesus Christ and not worry about the things of this world. Just pray about them to him and he will answer your prayers.
