7 Strategies to (re)Find What You Love
After all, whose life is it, anyway?
Do People Tell You How to be Successful?
How often have you had people around you tell you what you should study, pursue, or focus on to have a happy life? While likely good-intentioned, can any of these people have a YOU operating manual, as if they can speak with any authority about you?
They likely tell you business, accounting, finance, programming, medicine, law . . you name it, but many people see careers in those areas as symbols of success. Those who love you want you to be successful, so then, there we go.
But, who are they to tell you what to do?
I mean, how can somebody else tell you what success means for you? Can somebody tell you what your passions are?
Yeah, those professions’ results may lead to success, depending on how you define success, though much in life is about the process. Focusing only on an uncertain future without finding value and satisfaction in the ongoing steps along the road seems to be missing something valuable. Life is not about a job, career, or title. It is about fulfillment and passionate living.
If you are not enthusiastic about doing this work, then that is all it will be — a lot of unsatisfying work…
