A mage in training...

I have and always will asked who I am and what I want to be. Its the same when I play video games. I recently am addicted to Skyrim:Elder Scrolls, was very much contented spending the whole weekend playing. (Wait… got out of topic now) Anyways as I was starting the game, I got stumped on the decision on what type of character I would be, be it good in convincing people, in magic or in combat, whether I would be thief, a mage, or a warrior. I would have love to be all of them (who wouldn’t want the best of everything) But you know you have to choose only one. So I ended up with a balance between mage and warrior since the game would mostly involved battles. As the game progress, got stuck with another decision. What weapon should I use? I do like archery, I also like swords. In the end I let go all those and focus on my strengths. Im not good with precision so did not choose the bow and arrows. I panicked when enemies are in close proximity. In the end I became a mage, and I actually like it. Well you might be wondering why I brought this up. This is going somewhere I assure you ;) For me, its an analogy to life and work. We are constantly an ever-changing organism. I know not where I’m going but each decision I want to make comes down to who I really am. So how does being a mage relates to reality? I can’t cast restoration spell to make everything go better. But I remembered from the book I’ve recently read. No matter how formidable the characters in every fantasy stories there is, the wizards never do the real work, nor do they join in full adventures themselves. I guess unconsciously I’ve always wanted to solve problems (one of my top 5 strengths in strength finder is restorative), and help the heroes succeed, in my case the team and the organisation. The formidable enemies are the problems encountered everyday, no matter how mundane it is. Who I am today may not be the same as tomorrow but I’m hoping to look back at my past and be proud of my present. I maybe a novice now, someday I’m hoping to be that wise wizard (e.g Gandalf, Merlin or Morgan Le Fay perhaps).
