What do you want to be when you grow up? I’m sure you were asked this question at least once when you were a youngster. Did you have an answer at the ready, or did you need a few minutes to think about it? We all had dreams of becoming something great, like a fireman, a teacher, or a rock star. Well, how did you do? Maybe you never aspired to be what you set out to be or said that you would become. But then again, things change. The older we get, our tastes change, our view of the world changes, even our goals change.
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to do something you love to do. Why is this important? If you enjoy what you make a living at, you end up being happy in more ways than one. Life itself becomes much more interesting and fun. You find yourself speaking passionately to others about your work. The experiences you have along the way become much more rewarding and enrich your life in many ways. You meet fascinating people. I know people who have turned favourite hobbies into small businesses and have succeeded. Sure, they may have made sacrifices along the way, but not one of them either turned back or gave up. Their passion carried them through to success.
While no job or business is perfect, the important thing is to enjoy it, even learn from it. If you are unhappy in your current situation, why not take steps now to change it? Somewhere out there is a job or business that is perfect for you. If you are already there, I applaud you. If not, realize that it may take some time to figure out what you really want to do, and even more time to actually get there. That’s all right! I can tell you from experience that finding and doing what you love is absolutely worth it, every step of the way. All the research, training, and hands-on experience has made me a stronger, happier person. Feeling in charge of my own destiny…well, there just is no greater feeling.
Do what you love, and love what you do, whatever that may be.
What story are you telling yourself?
And is it in fact your story or have others imposed in on you?
Some have been told a false story for so long that they believe it to be true and therefore live up to it every day.
Please don’t ever forget that it is your story, no-one else’s, and you can control it! You can change it!
You have a choice every day, wake up and tell yourself a fabulous story or succumb to the not so great one.
It is so easy to give yourself a gentle lift or even a massive kick up the rear end!
If your ‘self’ story isn’t perfect, I challenge you to take some steps to change it.
Go out and buy a packet of post it notes and fill it with messages like these, and stick them all over your bathroom mirror, the back of the toilet door, the back of the front door, on the fridge. Anywhere you will see them daily.
Tell yourself, THIS is my story, THIS is what I deserve, THIS is how I will live.
I am worthy; I am loved; I am amazing; I am grateful; I am filled with joy; My life is great;
I am valued; I am excited about my day; I am fabulous; I am happy; I love myself.
Please share any others you can think of in the comments. 🥰
