getting to know your future

I do not know a lot of places where you get to know the future already before you know how your own future looks like. hm?

Meaning that you do not even know where you are going, but you find out that you definitely need to move as somebody else is going to be at the place where you are currently. In AIESEC the situation is like that. Some days ago I got to know my successor. It is an interesting concept that we have here:

You start to feel that you are performing, you finally established some regularity and patterns in your work, you begin to realize where you strenght lie, you found out how to move others, you see the benefit that your work is creating - you begin to have an impact. and SUDDENLY you begin to see that your term is going to end...

The organisation has already decided upon the future and you do not even know where you should go. I think it is a really interesting situation. You are somehow forced to make up your mind about your own future before you really want to do so. But maybe one has to see it from a different point of view.

Maybe life is realizing much quicker than we do where we should go and therefore finds some push to make us think more. Maybe this is to really start the thinking process on which direction one should take. To put it in other words: in order to start the future somebody just has to delete your past and present... and thats not a bad thing at all
