What makes me tick?


 

What Makes Me Tick?

Maybe the dreams I constantly have, give me reason to tick

Maybe the life I so desperately want, give me reason to tick

OR

Maybe I needing the money gives me reason to tick

A question such as “What Makes Me Tick?” leaves room for many answers

So many answers, So many reasons

To envision myself being a “somebody” in life, at times seems unrealistic

I figure

No Money, No Success

More Money, No regrets

But see that just can’t be

A life all about money and only one’s needs

When I become a counselor and follow my dreams

I’ll not only support myself but I’ll be supporting those in need, cause see

Once you learn to use money to heal others

THEN, AND ONLY THEN!

Will I have been a success.

Determined to do what it takes to be successful in life. However ,to be successful I have to be doing what I love which is Psychology. I have no doubt in my mind that about 7 years from now I will have obtained my Masters degree in Psychology and will have then gone on to becoming one of the best Mental Health Counselors.
