You can’t ‘pick’ what you love, It’s not an intellectual decision.
Here’s the cause of most of our suffering: We want to want. And that has always been my problem– I had all the ideas of what I should do, might enjoy, or get rich off of and I tried to arrange marry myself to each of them, but none of it ever lasted.
It won’t last unless you legitimately love it, which isn’t the things you want to want but the things you can’t not do, or read, or engage with, etc.
And that said, I finally have a goal that’s authentic to who I am, excites me, and it’s my ONLY focus until I accomplish it.
I’m playing the great game.
Let’s start with how the game is defined, the rules, and the objectives.
I define the game as a largely story world, where the main character (you), figures out how to shape their reality and maximize it for their destiny. The main character has to shed skins continually to get to the root of their superpowers, and live from a place of authenticity.
Their lives then reflect who they are, and they become fulfilled by living out their own uniqueness.
So, I want my entire life– from career, hobbies, and interests, to friends and relationships, to reflect who I am as a person.
The career path I’m building out is one that combines not only my interests, but my temperament and my values.
My friends share my core values.
My hobbies and interests are just extensions of who I am.
Right now, I’m playing.
I’ve left the exploratory phase, and now I am just another player– figuring out their own movie.
It’s awesome.
Before a purposeless angsty kid, to now a self-directed and focused individual.
Every single one of you can do this, but you have to realize who you are playing for. There’s only one game to be played, and like it or not– you’re already playing.
Having fun?
If not, you need to change it up because you’re doing it wrong.
