Blog #8: "Bad Faith"

I actually do believe I am living in "bad faith", but not taken over by it. I have certain blinders on in my life such as the need to please people like my mother and my family. For example, I have this career goal of being a Nurse Practitioner. I have always wanted to help people but never knew how in a career way. I didn't have any interest in the medical field until my mother and family insist I look into Nursing as a career. I did exactly that because I could never disappoint my family and had the need to please them. The ways that I could become more "alive" to unfulfilled potential is to actually not continue to please people and tell them how you really feel. Also, to take a stand to my family and mother and tell them what I am truly interested in as a career. It won't matter them though because they just want all the children to go to college and earn a high earning career salary because they never went to college.
