Yeah, yeah I get it and we all know that there are things we have to do even though we don’t want to. Do our chores around the house, run errands, go to the doctor, pay taxes, haha!
What I am thinking about today are the things more day to day on our path to what ever we want to do or be. Those mornings when you just don’t want to get up or those evenings when it is 7 or 8 pm and you are still at your computer. What gets you up each morning or what keeps you going when there are so many other things you rather be doing?
I think the key to getting up on time 9 out of every 10 mornings (hey, no one is perfect) is the desire to keep going even when you don’t want to. Is what you are doing to pay the bills and occupy your time fulfilling or driving you? Does your mind start to play through a topic you are going to write about or how something might look whether it be a graphic for social media or a large presentation for a client? Does chasing that sale fuel your energy?
If you are thinking no to a lot of those questions then I must ask, why are you doing it? I get it that in a lot of circumstances there isn’t much choice for a change in a career right now. However, can you supplement that with a project or volunteer work that will not only fuel your passion but help build up skills and connections. That way when you are ready for a change in career it will make it that much easier.
Life hands us a lot but we deserve to enjoy our ride around the sun best we can. Finding the things that fuel our mind and body in a positive direction. Opportunities to give back and help others. You are never too old to move in a new direction to chase those passions. Don’t worry you got this!! Shine Bright and Much Love!
