For the most part, we’re free to do whatever.
We’re lucky enough to be born to a time where you don’t have to work in your fathers watch factory, or apprentice at a printing press, or be a stay at home whatever– you can take your role into your own hands.
Most people don’t know what to do with extra freedom.
That’s not a real problem, but it’s what is causing your spiritually shitty mood.
When you’re not connected to what you’re meant to do– life feels wrong. You’ll feel like you constantly have to distract yourself, either with friends, work, entertainment. You’ll feel like you can’t sit with yourself– because you can actually feel it when you’re alone.
I intellectually like online business, but it drains my soul in practice.
If you ask me– do you enjoy writing on the internet as a career? I’d say yes because I’d be thinking of all the awesome benefits. But am I fulfilled ?– well, let’s look at my actions.
I constantly run away to do random bullshit on the weekends, I’m always looking to talk to someone or do something outside of my work, and when I’m on the ol’ laptop-a-roo I’m bored out of my mind.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for the job I have as it’s an excellent way to make money. My point here is don’t stop where you are because its comfortable.
I recently came across another path, luckily. This suits me much more– not intellectually, but spiritually.
That sounds stupid, but hear me out. When you find what you’re meant to do, the need to distract yourself with side quests disappears.
Suddenly, I don’t give a shit about hanging out.
That, and I weirdly feel more myself. The work itself connects to something deeper inside of you– that’s how you can tell if you’re on route to your destined destination.
The challenge with this for you is no one can tell you how to find it.
You’ll have to figure it out on your own. What I can tell you is this– start with the ideas you always revisit.
The key to getting where you really want to go is somewhere in there.
& remember, never take it serious.
You lose as soon as you lose the play.
