I dont have a plan...

but that doesnt keep me home doing nothing.
Yea, you read that right. And yes, I know that its hard to believe so let me explain.
I dont have a single plan... I have several options.
I feel stuck, as if I am not moving forward, but at the same time, I am starting a new class tomorrow. A CPA review class that is going to take me through the next 6 months.
But then what?
And what about the in between time?
Where should I search for a job?
I havent even registered to take the CPA test... and you HAVE to register and get your "Notice to Schedule" AT LEAST 2 months before you want to take the test. But its not just one test, its 4... and you have to get the NTS for each test, which means you have to really know ahead of time
And the thought of it all has got me petrified.
Like, I pretty much had a panic attack today.

But, this is what I do know:
Its just a class, and I should take it 1 day, 1 lesson at a time.
If I decide that I can take a stab at the test, then I can start the registration process. This is MY test, MY certification and I should get to decide how to handle it... it doesnt get to handle me!
I am learning that it is ok to not have a set plan- they never work anyway- but rather a direction: sometime in the next 5 years I should have my CPA license.
I saw a quote the other day that I really liked:  
Success…seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit. ~Conrad Hilton
I may not be successful- yet- but this is me, moving forward. Being scared like no other but still taking on the challenge. One foot in front of the other, I am moving. 


My hope for anyone who reads this, is that you too are moving. Know that dreams arent made by just getting by, you've got to be an active participant- not just a spectator. 
Good luck! (to you and me)
