Yeah, I may have to buy this one: Punch Out!! for the Wii!
Boy seems to be coming out of his depressed funk, which is good. We talked about it a couple nights ago, and he's been asking a lot of questions of himself as far as what he's meant to do in life, and what his unique contribution to the world is, and he'd hit a low point where he was feeling really hopeless about it. I think he felt better just talking about it, which I kind of knew he would, because it so often works that way. It's hard to get those things out of him, sometimes, but I'm always glad when we do.
After we talked, I did some (written) journaling about what's important to me in life, and I concluded that I'm not somebody who feels the drive to make some huge impact on the world at large. I actually feel more gratified by connecting with people on a more individual basis, and making an impact on an individual life. Of course, I basically shoot myself in the foot on that, at the personal level (yay social anxiety), but I can do pretty well at helping people individually, if I have a particular role to play.
And, with that in mind, I found myself thinking (again) about becoming a personal trainer, while I was in the shower yesterday. It's an option that I haven't talked much about openly, but when I think of professions I'd love to be doing and could also make my living at, it goes something like this:
1) photographer
2) wushu instructor
3) personal trainer
4) graphic/web designer
( And why these things? (tl;dr) )
I kind of wish I knew where to look for more detail on personal training, though. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
phrassie?) It's something I at least want to look further into, because I'm sure I'll be thinking about it again, before long...
