Are you aligned with your dreams ?
Recently I decided to finally start living my life at the fullest! (I will write a post about it soon.) But that decision came after years of frustrations and questions about my life. Here are some thoughts I wanted to share with you.
Like most of us, I don't like my job. Even if we are unhappy and unsatisfied with our job we go to work in order to pay our bills and to keep this comfort we created for ourselves. Which puts us in a position where we are forced to wake up some days angry, some depressed but still need to go to the office with this fake smile. This routine will repeats itself until we change something to it.
Where are you going with your life ?
It doesn't matter how old you are or how young you are if you put something in your mind you can achieve it. How many times have you found yourself thinking about how your life would be if you have followed your heart? We all have dreams! But still, some people choose to be stuck in this society jail, just because someone told us that we should get a secure job and live a normal life. It might be your friends, your girlfriend or even your peers, but the only person who knows what to do is you! It is all about the decisions you take, nobody is to blame but you! If I want to change, I need to take responsibility for my life!
What is your purpose in life ?
Most people go through life, never developing their talents. Sometimes it is because we pretend to be so busy that we don't have time to do what we truly love. And instead we do all kinds of activities just because we try so hard to fit in certain groups, among certain friends,... What is the purpose unless to get more frustrated about our own life? It took me a second to get it but a life time to do something about it! I needed to start living for myself regardless what others would think about it. Even if you have a family to take care of and you are doing a job you don't like, I truly think you should try to find a way to do what you are passionate about. Do what you can, where you are, with what you have.
Wake up before regrets kill you !
I would rather try and fail than not try at all! You got to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals and it is never too late to start doing what you love. Listen to your guts and believe in yourself when others are trying to discourage you! It is all about your mindset, you need to see it before it happens. Regrets are the worst things in life because they will haunt us for the rest of our life. We all have regrets but we don't want to regret the job we done for 40years or so. Since you only live once, it is your duty to live your life at the fullest!
The way you used the "YOLO" mantra and the whole idea behind it was delightful. I always thought it was of great value, but because it was widely used by teenagers, people didn't pay much attention to it. It's just the truth: you only live once. The responsibility of finding and cultivating an essential life is totally yours, and you should give 100% of your soul to your dreams. I loved you post and I'm definitely following you. If you can, check out my content (I'm just starting). I think you might like it.
The final objective of life is always emotional: happyness, fun etc. We only use reason because it turns easier for us to achieve our desired emotional goals.
Of course it's all about to be happy doing what we love most! Life it's too short to waist time doing a job we hate. Actions lead to emotions and vice versa!
