RE: Be One With The Fire And The Fire Will Be One With You
@humanearl,
"I did the exact opposite of what my soul was crying out to do."
Yeah friend, I also experienced the same feeling a lot more times and still suffering by it! I never wanted to be an IT guy in my life, but at the end world pushed me into that corner and I was helpless. Now dealing with codes and systems! I love nature, I wanted to do a job related to wildlife!
But at the end my life becomes a wild by that wrong move!
Anyway as you said we have time, I think I can't revert it! But I am trying to manage things as it is! Hope it will work!
This article fired me inside out! I never thought to tell about this to anyone! But here I decided to take my feelings out! Thank you dude!
Cheers~
I really hope you follow what you really want. You can do it! I'm humbled by your words and I am glad that it really helped you. I think you will feel more encouraged once you start moving in the direction of your purpose/interests.
You know, after reading the post of @humanearl and the comment of @theguruasia, I felt I should be a source of encouragement to @theguruasia.
You are not alone. Just like @humanearl said in his post, he followed the wish of his mum, but later traced his ways back to his calling, and now he is living the best life he could ever live, the life he was wired for.
I too derailed when i was growing up. I wanted to be an engineer, but my dad wanted me to be a doctor. After two wasted years, I finally got back to what I loved doing, and I feel like am on top of the stars. Your dream might not fetch you as much money, but there are just certain things money can't buy. Money can't buy the satisfaction you get from following your dreams. It can't buy the joy. It can't buy the impact following your dreams will make on the life of others.
So please my brother,it is never too late. You can still make a u-turn. You must not necessarily leave you job, but you can start by following your dreams after you are back from work, and gradually you'll continue to increase until you go full time.
As long as there is life, there is hope.
All the best, and hope to see you in the land of dream fulfilers.
Yeah very true, i was just reading the while post saw really thoughtful comments and how people are taking this seriously and thought i should contribute to the change of mindsets for the greater good.
No dream is easy to fulfill – otherwise, it is not a dream, but an ordinary task. Dreams stretch your boundaries and tests your limits, and will even lead you to your breaking point every now and then. Through all this, you will emerge with an even stronger character, polished to perfection because of the heavy beating and grinding that you’ve been through
Living out our purpose means we will also be tested. This is a good thing
