It would have been nice if someone had sat me down and started talking to me at the age of 18, before I went to the economics career, which I found easy to complete but not interesting at all. To ask, to listen, to be with me, to help so that weeks and months can begin to dawn on who I am and what my REAL desires and goals are - for life. In the long run, what could make me happy and fulfilled.
But it didn't happen that way.
I easily jumped up each new step, I always studied well, and quite soon I found myself in a place in life, which for an outside observer would be the net of a successful life, but for me it involved everyday stomach cramps.
Most of us spend the first 30-40 years of our lives creating an endlessly tangled, complicated life, which we create much more based on our external or internal (however false, not self-identical) ideas about life (often with a lot of struggle, compromise, resignation), to realize at the beginning of our 40s (if we manage to see it and admit it to ourselves) that I don't really like being alive.
In this case, we have two choices.
🙈 One choice is to bury our heads in the sand and continue our usual, but not really joyful, lives. We stay in our comfort zone, where everything is familiar but nothing is really satisfying. We continue our daily routine, suppress our feelings and desires, and pretend that everything is fine. We are able to convince ourselves that this is normal and that life is just like that - it doesn't have to be happy, it's enough if it's acceptable.
💡 The other choice is to bravely face the truth and decide to change. This path is not easy, but it is more rewarding in the long run. We need to start taking an honest look at who we really are and what we really want out of life. We may have to rethink our careers, our relationships, our daily habits. We need to make time to try new things, learn, grow and rediscover our passions.
THE NUMBER ONE REASON MOST PEOPLE DON'T GET WHAT THEY WANT IS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
This path requires courage and commitment because we have to face uncertainty and the unknown. But if we succeed, our lives can be much fuller, happier, and more fulfilling. I believe it's never too late to change and the most important thing is to stay true to yourself and your true desires.
Let's persevere, dare to dream and act, so that we can live a life that is truly ours. 🌟
With love: 💝
