Why Everything Has To Be So Freaking Hard?
During my last visit home, I met with my friends and family members and listened to stories about their lives, the happy moments that continued to bring smiles to their faces and spark their eyes. They talked about what changed, what challenges they were forced to face, and the sorrows they had to overcome.
It always amazes me how familiar those stories sound to my own and how universal they are, regardless of where you live.
I started to wonder why.
Why, despite where we are, our age, and/or relationship status - despite all of it - are we still looking for something different from what is today, something that would light the fire inside our hearts?
You might recognize this feeling inside your heart today: the sense of longing for something you just can’t explain.
You might think you have everything you ever wanted or feel like you’re a victim of your life and circumstances, but you’re not ready to stop searching.
You might feel lost because you didn’t allow yourself to find your purpose, your place in this world. So you continue to search for it, exploring different opportunities or running experiments on what works and what doesn’t.
Sometimes, we find the answer but still don’t understand how it connects to the bigger picture and our purpose.
Today, on this beautiful August day, I’d like to introduce you to find a quiet place where you can close your eyes, feel your presence in your body, and when you’re ready, write down answers to the questions below.
What activities make you lose track of time because you enjoy them so much?
What are your core values, and how do they align with your current lifestyle?
What would you spend your time doing if money and external validation were not a concern?
Explore your strengths, talents, and passions. Understanding what you excel at and what you love to do can provide clues about your purpose.
Happy exploring!
