We live in a world of infinite information, yet many people still feel lost. In some ways, I can say the same.
I look around and everyone seems to have their lives figured out; they’ve graduated university and landed a six-figure job at a big-name company. I look at myself and see someone who is still unsure, straddling the line of doing what I want to do and what I “should” do.
I still struggle with this concept of feeling fulfillment in life. Isn’t getting a well-paying job and living a comfortable life the way to get there? Having food, water, shelter and good company — that’s all I need, right? No — at least, I can’t subscribe to that mindset yet.
In spite of my own comfort, I want to do what really aligns with who I am. Is that possible? What even is that? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s by trying, taking risks, and being vulnerable.
I want to emphasize “vulnerable” here because there WILL be times where you fail. People will look at you and wonder why you chose the harder path, when you had everything lined up in front of you.
In the end, no one really knows what they’re doing in life. We’re all just wandering through life on this floating rock, trying to figure it out.
So do more of what feels right, and less of what weighs you down.
