We love complicating life, don’t we? Constantly comparing ourselves to
people, underestimating ourselves and feeling low for no apparent
reason. If you feel you’re not doing anything worthwhile in life, let us
tell you why it is perfectly fine. This is all the motivation you need
for today.
1. People around you may make you feel getting that
‘dream job’ is the ultimate aim in life, but that’s not how it works for
a lot of people. Career isn’t everybody’s priority in life.Some people
want to rule the world. And some people just want to earn enough to lead
a comfortable life and focus on their inter-personal relationships,
find true love. So, take it easy. Find what excites you – it doesn’t
have to be a ‘career’.
2. It takes some people a moment to
realize what their calling is. Some people need months, some people need
years and some people, a whole lifetime. But the search is always worth
it. Your life is your own story, different from everybody else’s. So,
keep looking and believe that life is leading you where your heart
belongs.
3. Don’t fret too much about the future. Plans never
work. The ‘long run’ is a myth, it only exists in your head. Just do
what you want to do right now and you’ll be good. Every road will lead
you somewhere.
4. You will find yourself at crossroads several
times, wondering how you suddenly feel so disconnected with something
that felt ‘so right’ at one point in life, how what you always wanted to
do in life doesn’t make you happy anymore. And that’s okay – happens to
most of us. People change, people evolve. Accept that your interests
have changed and stop hating yourself for it.
5. There is no
urgency to find out the one true passion in your life. Who says you
should know what you want to do by the time you’re in your late
twenties? Don’t rush it because you think you’re running out of time.
About sustaining yourself, you can always take up a job you don’t really
hate and live a comfortable life, while exploring your interests. And,
who knows you might just find your true passion one day when you’re
least expecting it.
6. Maybe, the idea of ‘one true passion’
doesn’t even exist for some people. Everybody is wired differently.
There are lot of people who want to do everything but cannot stay at one
place for too long. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Some people
just want to wander – from one place to another, from one passion to
another. The idea is to be happy doing what you do. So, whatever sails
your boat! Don’t think of how long your interest is going to last for.
If something interests you now, it is worth taking up. If it makes you
happy, go for it. If you’ve lived every day of your life happily, there
can be nothing greater than that.
7. Not knowing what you’re
doing with your life should never make you feel ashamed. Don’t feel bad
because you don’t know yet, feel happy that there is something to look
forward to in life. Imagine what it would be like to finally find the
purpose of your existence!
8. It will always feel like you don’t
have a clue about what you’re doing, where you’re heading, even if
you’re on the right track. This how it’s supposed to be. This is how
life is. It will never let you feel at ease, never let you have the
assurance that you have it all sorted and that’s the beauty of it. Life
has it’s own ways of surprising you. Embrace the unpredictability.
