Have you ever felt stuck in one place? Or
wondered what you’re actually doing with
your life? Do you feel like you have nowhere to
go until you do your time, and all you can think
of is how much you want to get away and
move on to the next adventure? We’ve all been there, whether it is comparing our lives to
others, a hangover day when we’re seriously
questioning the antics from the night before or
when we just have too much time on our
hands. To avoid driving yourself mad, next time
you’re feeling stuck or that you might not be
living your life to its fullest potential, remember
these few points:
-Find Your Passion Give yourself a break. Maybe you just haven’t
found your passion in life yet, and that’s
perfectly okay. After all, how are you supposed
to know what you really want to do if you
don’t test the waters by casting out the net as
far and wide as possible?
Take up a new hobby you think you might be
interested in. What have you got to lose? If it doesn’t work out, you can’t say you didn’t
try and you’ll know that you definitely don’t
want to do it. If it does work out, then it will
bring you endless joy, a sense of
accomplishment and even an extremely
successful career. It’s Never Too Late It really is never too late to change the course
of your life. If you’re genuinely unhappy
where you are or with where your life is going,
it is up to you to change it. Who says when you can or can’t start
something new and whether or not you might
succeed at it? Listen to your heart and your
head will follow. If it’s something you really
want to do, the only thing getting in the way is
you.
Think being in your 20s is too late to change
your life? Being in your 20s is the perfect time.
You have worldly experience, you’ve probably
lived alone, you know what you value and you
know that there’s so much more in the world
to learn about. Your 20s is the only time you’ll have all this
knowledge, minus the endless responsibilities
that come with your 30s.
The time is now. Don’t Compare Yourself To Others Okay, so I need to take my own advice here,
but it’s true. The grass isn’t always greener on
the other side; it’s greener where it’s watered. If you put as much effort into improving or
changing your own circumstances as you did
following the life of someone else, imagine
where you could be.
This is your life; you are
responsible for grabbing it by the reigns and
controlling where it goes. Oh, you’re not known internationally? You
don’t have millions in the bank, yet? Just
imagine where you could be in five years time
if you put your mind to it. You never know;
people could be wishing for your life in years
to come.
Be Happy At the end of the day, it’s all about being
happy, right? If you’re happy where you are
and where you’re going, fantastic. If you’re not
and you really are wondering why you’re
stuck in this job or internship, maybe it is time
to get out.
Be brave and do it for you because no one else
will. Sure, feeling stuck or trapped where you are
sucks when you’re not enjoying yourself, but
sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and
get on with it. If it’s where you want to be,
remember that it will be worth it. If it’s not, it’s
up to you to change your path. “Life’s what you make it!”
