Socked in the stomach

That's how I feel currently. I was told in a way that shouldn't necessarily hurt my feelings- that I lacked vision. This conversation came at a time when I was discussing with my family what my next steps were after graduation. Something that I have given a lot of thought to. To a degree I get that I lack vision in what the next steps are going to be- most people are focused on that next big position and me I'm focused more on what I will get out of the experience. I want my next position to elevate me and continue me on the path of becoming a director of a foundation or non-profit, or is it that I want the next position to provide me with the knowledge to navigate the world of political policy? Or is it that I want the next position to be fun, to continue to push my creativity in Social Media etc. Maybe that person was right, maybe I do lack vision.
  I just know that I have never had this broad goal of what I wanted to be at the end of the day. My goal was always to use whatever platform I was granted an opportunity to make a difference in the world. I want to be a social entrepreneur that connects the dots for big organizations and bridges the gap for other networks to provide real-time solutions for people in need. But what does that mean?
  Clearly I have some work to do and little time to do it in. I have a lot of soul searching to accomplish. The next few months are going to be spending a few hours a day studying for comps and figuring out my future. Can I do it? Yes of course I can, will it be easy... Heck no!
