“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
This question got me wilding around in deep thoughts, i almost cried seeing that despite how it seemed like my life was beautiful, how i helped others get clarity, there was still quest to be more, this quest to be strong with my savings, to go all out there with enough to help others grow.
So Yesterday, i was indisposed and for a rare time, i didn’t show up at work, i took the day off as it became one of my most productive days in the month of July to think because i was becoming overwhelmed with life and here and there i found this quote while reading which says, ‘Whatever your defining moment or moments are to you, you know it when you feel them’. Yesterday was a defining moment for me and i asked myself why not me which directed to ask this questions:
l What problems do I help people solve?
l What makes me feel alive?
l What would I do if money were no object?
The truth is our internal guidance never fails us when we allow it to rise. Often, we avoid this introspection. We just want to fit in. We want other people to like and respect us. Our self-esteem is built on what other people value, even when that is not necessarily what we really want. We are afraid to be different, but the funny thing is, what makes us different is what makes us interesting. It makes us beautiful, noticeable, and uniquely useful in the world.
“If we don’t come up with our own guidelines of what will make us happy, then who will? Well, we know the answer: Everyone else will.
And it is a guarantee it will not be in our best interests. Not that everyone else is trying to hurt us. It’s just that only we know what will be best for us. And often, knowing what will be best for me is something I had to learn through a lot of trial and error while experimenting with the rules and guidelines of others.”
So i ask you? Why not you?
Live differently and and live you.
