Doing what makes you happy.

I was talking to a friend just a minute ago and she told me that she is considering switching majors from biology to education.  She told me the main reason that she didn’t want to is because of the stigma that goes along with education majors.  This raises an important question: does it make you less amazing if you do something that is stereotypically easier? 

The answer to this question depends on why you are doing it.  If you are taking an easier path because you want work less, then probably not.  Hard work is a key to being amazing.  But, if you are doing to make you happier, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, then you are becoming more amazing.  Being amazing comes from within.  No matter how successful you are, there will be someone that will not think highly of you.  That’s just the way of life.  But, if you find yourself amazing, then you are making a step towards becoming amazing. 

So, change majors, take a chance, do something you love and don’t let anyone try to stop you.  You are in charge of your own happiness.
