The unpredictable journey: Life

I am writing this story to connect with fellowmates who would really connect with it as I am curious as to how many feel this way the way I am feeling right now being admitted fresh into a premier B-School with all the buzz around. I take a moment and write here to stop and think, what is it that we are actually trying to accomplish. I would guess some of you would have an answer as the career path or similar things on those lines. But if I talk about me personally, I am not even sure as to what exactly do I want out of my career. I want to be successful, earn good money, have a good corporate job, but how do I quantify this feeling into something substantial. This puts me in a deep thought and I feel all my feelings at the surface and I am just really confused and I won't shy away from admitting; a little scared also.
But I still have faith that my overall journey has been this way and I have mentioned a glimpse of it in my story, "A roller coaster ride". I have faith that something good would come up as life progresses and I reflect upon all the quotes that great people have said; the one coming to my mind right now: An year later, none of this would bother you.
And I want to believe in this and I have every reason to do so but still I somehow feel a little anxious about what if it does not work out this time? What if things are not well at the end of the day? But I somehow continue holding onto my faith and going through life one day at a time. 

I really wanted to share these mixed emotions that I am feeling at this point and wanted to see if anybody really connects with what I am actually trying to convey. And it feels good to articulate thoughts and pen it down. Feeling a little relieved now.
