If you pay closer attention, you’ll find you already have the answers you’re looking for. I think “learning” from others can be dangerous if you start considering following them and their path.
Doing this makes you abandon yours.
Some will tell you to pursue interests, others preach passion, some say just pick a skill, but the one you choose should be what YOU’D choose– by yourself, without the input of others.
I thought passion was what I wanted, then I found the only thing that could be my passion—and now, it’s just like everything else, meh.
That might not be true for you, but for me, interests win over passion.
Can you stick to what you picked for 10 years?
If your goal is success– that answer needs to be yes. IF your goal is a passionate life, also needs to be yes.
Most of us don’t stick to anything long enough to get the deep pleasure that comes from mastery.
When in truth, you’re not looking for God, spirituality, impact, or purpose.
You’re looking for commitment.
We all want that, because that’s how a human being transforms. Think about parents– they’re committed to new life, that they serve above themselves, and that FREES them from themselves.
Whether its career or a calling, we all crave losing ourselves to something more than us– and THAT is the answer.
But it’s a choice not a destiny you manifest.
Stop thinking about the path and you’ll find it.
When I kept imagining my career- I somehow imagined all things that DIDNT suit me. Only when I got practical, considering what I’m like and could learn and do, then I got ahead.
Do the same.
Unplug from the internet, and just DO.
Whatever you think to do will be where you need to go, if you can do it.
