Do you ever feel “lost”? Unsure of what to do next in your life? Uncertain the path to chose? Should you invest this money into this program? Can they REALLY help you attain your goals and dreams?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you’re not alone. So many people go thru these questions daily. DAILY. It’s OK. Sometimes tho, we have to “sit in it” and figure things out. This can take hours, days, weeks, for some – even years. Let’s hope fewer people take years tho. Unfortunately there are even some for whom this never comes to fruition.
I think the answer to these and so many other questions lies within each of us. And being unique, those answers will vary from person to person and situation to situation. But, fear not. The answers ARE there. You just have to keep asking yourself questions and the more you do, the clearer YOUR answers will become.
What does your heart say to you? Are you in love with writing, yet you are trying to build an MLM company downline? Do you want to have a home business with a company you believe in but you just aren’t earning the monthly money with it that you desire, so you go to another MLM-type company and actually find yourself bending in your core beliefs for a little while in hopes of earning that money? Are you a closet photographer yet you leave yourself no time to go out and take pictures? Sometimes the inability to pursue our passion full-time is not an option – at the moment. But that doesn’t mean that we have to sit back and watch our dreams die. You can have a job to pay the bills while you work on your dreams in your spare time. You have to be creative with accomplishing your dreams. Work on them a little each day, as your schedule and your life allows.
You cannot alter, change, bend or negate your morals and values to make a buck. You simply cannot – or should not. Well you can, but over time that choice will erode and gnaw at your core being and the end result could be more than you bargained for. Don’t set yourself up for failure and disappointment and possible self-loathing. If you know something to be true deep within your heart; then believe it and make it happen.
Making money is very important to us all. It is how we buy the things we need to survive in today’s universe. Those “survival needs” vary from person to person also. But remember this. Money cannot be the end all and be all of everything. If it is, then you become the kind of person who thru your life travels, everything you see is a dollar sign. You miss out on so much beauty when you do this. Do not approach people as dollar signs, either. They are not. People are not a means to an end for others to walk all over.
Sit down and spend some time with yourself and yourself ALONE. Some REAL quality quiet time; not just ten minutes or so. Have paper and pen handy. Ask yourself pertinent questions and answer them, leaving room to re-answer later in case you realize more in-depth info or you change your mind. Even if the questions sound or feel “dumb” at the time, ask yourself…it will help you in discovering what is important to you and what to do next. The questions to ask will also vary from person to person as we all are unique in our lives. So, no question is wrong if it is genuine.
Some examples could be:
– What brings me the greatest joy and really makes my heart warm and even gives me goose bumps?
– What do I find myself thinking about the most?
– Do I enjoy teaching and guiding others?
– Do I want to see others succeed?
– Do I enjoy seeing myself on video?
– Do I enjoy writing? Possibly consider penning some eBooks at the start.
– Do people like me? Am I a people person? If not, should I do something that keeps me away from people?
– Do I like animals?
These are arbitrary questions, as you can see. The point is to narrow down your field of options; what it is that you really want to do with your life that will give you the greatest joy in return. You know how the saying goes, “If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.” That is everyone’s goal…to love their job and earn a decent living while doing it. Asking yourself some of these types of questions is a good exercise that will help you gain a clearer understanding of what it is that you want to be “when you grow up”. And let’s be real, very few of us are ever really “all grown up”.
