What U do defines Who U are
We’ve all got that friend – the one who is always talking big, like they’re going to start this amazing new company, write an inspiring novel or change the world. In fact we probably have more than one friend we hear constantly talking about big future plans.
The problem I have noticed with not all, but many of my peers is follow-through. Ideas are everywhere, but motivation is seemingly nonexistent. Life doesn’t start tomorrow, life is happening right now. Successful people know this and are focused on achieving their dreams and goals 24/7.
It’s more than an obsession and a passion, it’s what they are living. Instead of talking, they’re doing. Does what you’re doing at your day job support your overall life goals? Are you equally excited for personal projects as you are projects at work? Do you actually have any personal projects? Do you have a passion? Are you refining/advancing your skills and knowledge of something daily? Do you know exactly what you want in life?
These are all big questions. But I guarantee you successful, motivated and passionate people not only answered yes to all of them instantly, but they even knew the what and why as well without much thought. If you didn’t answer yes to all of these, it may be the day to rethink your life.
A combination of unquenchable thirst for knowledge, desire to pursue independent learning, reading and consuming information help you answer these questions. It is the result of freeing yourself mentally and engaging your intellect.
It is the result of breaking away from your peers and delving deeply into a niche. It is the result of focus, determination and motivation. It is the result of an internal drive that is unstoppable. Once you’ve found your passion, it’s amazing and indescribable – no one can sway your thoughts and your concentration.
When you know exactly what you want in life and what really drives you, you’ll never again be bored, tired or unfulfilled. Seemingly boundless inspiration and motivation will be brought forward. People who spend their free time engaged in a passion are happier, more creative and more dynamic in their personality than those who merely spend their time as consumers of vapid entertainment pop-culture.
Do you come home from work and simply fall down in front of the TV where you spend your time until you sleep? If the answer is yes, perhaps you should consider living life yourself instead of by proxy. You’re going to wake up one day regretting how you spent your limited time in existence. A human lifespan is but a cosmic blink when you consider the age of the Earth, our galaxy and the universe. It’s precious, it’s rare and it is happening right now.
To waste it is to give up the ultimate gift. I feel like most of you reading here understand this, and if you do this post was not for you. It’s for everyone who is living life by proxy and for those of you who haven’t yet found a passion and embraced your true, creative self. It is not too late, you can do it. Start today.
