Day Two (Better Titles Are Coming, I promise)



An exciting day of researching, spreadsheets and websites, to find clients I wan to work with. I live a pretty crazy life I know. If only the boring parts of your life, your job or starting your own business were plastered on social media like the successes. I think it would help people (or me at least) realize that they are not wasting their time.

The trouble with progress is that often it is tedious and drawn out that it seems that we are not actually doing anything or making any progress. Do not believe what the world is telling you or implying that instant success is real. It is not. It takes time, hard work and you will be challenged.

This made me realize something. A majority of the days of our lives, nothing crazy is going to happen, good or bad. It is just going to be another day. That is not to say that there is not opportunity for every day to be great but most of them will just fly by, so enjoy them. True progress is made by what we do on a daily basis.

On a different note, since I left my job in January, it has been a roller coaster of events. Some good and some bad. Not being certain of what I want to do next in my life, is scary but at the same time I am not afraid.

We are all pushed to figure out what we want to do with our lives from a very young age. Shit we ask kids in Kindergarten what they want to be when they grow up.While I am sure it is intended to make kids dream big and have hopes for what they want to do, talking to many of my friends, this is not the case. So many people are unhappy of where they are in their lives because they made one decision, deciding what they thought they wanted to be when they grew up, investing a crap load of money to become that only to realize, their job title does not define them and they wonder if there is not something else out there for them, something they would actually like to do.

Our constant need to be sure of ourselves and to not be wrong or much less not know, makes us insecure. We are constantly trying to prove that we are worthy and that we are not making mistakes and it destroys us. It is okay to not know what you want to do with your life. In fact I would say it is a great thing.

Instead of being so focused on what we think we want, if we can be open to experiencing what the world has to offer, we will be a lot happier. When I tell you "I am not sure what I want to do with my life." It is not said from a place of fear but a place of freedom. When was the last time you felt okay saying; I have no idea?

Get okay with feeling like this, it is scary but once you take that leap, you are set free from trying to define yourself by what you do or who you think you should be and you can become who you were meant to be.

It is okay to not have a clue what you are doing with your life.
