Why Is Knowing What You Want So Hard?

Hey Fool.

I can finally say, and confidently, that I know what I want.

For those of you wondering how’s the other side? The answer is awesome. It sucks not having a clue what you want to do with your life, but what sucks even more? Doing what you hate.

It took years of mistaking around to get me here. And a big takeaway for me, from me and to you– DON’T follow others. Not their advice, not their dumbass course, not their book on how to live the dream, none of it.

The only advice I’d give younger me, to have gotten me to this point sooner– FOLLOW yourself.

I ended up discovering my own path only when I quit listening to others. It might seem counterintuitive, and I get the logic. You see a successful individual who has something you want, it makes sense to do what they did, right?

Nope.

Fact is, you’re not them. And before you saw them, did you want that thing? Did you really?

Probably not, or you’d have been chasing it sooner and unprompted by others.

You don’t want to be an entrepreneur, you want what you think it’ll bring you. Status, wealth, financial independence, an exciting life.

When you unplug from the nonstop advertising pushing you to fuck up your life, only then can you get clear on what you want.

I figured out my interests by pulling away from everyone. All those people fight for space in your head– cut them out. You’ll never find it listening to them.

Instead, figure out what you’re interested in, even kind of, even just a tad, and start there.

Be closed to all else.
