Do you feel like you don’t know what you really want in life?
I know how it feels, in fact, one of the most frustrating moments of my life was when I was in high school and I felt the pressure of needing to know what I was going to do for the rest of my life coming up…
I had no clue what I wanted to be…
I could be a cop, I could be a teacher, a doctor (but I definitely didn’t feel smart enough to do that)…
I didn’t want to do any of them, I started to get really upset.
I remember running to my mom crying my eyes out, so frustrated. I didn’t know what I wanted to do…
What I ended up discovering was that I actually knew what I wanted to do…
but the framework I was thinking form only allowed the “reasonable” professions to enter my realm of consciousness.
when I finally realized that I could do what I love and get paid to do it, I knew exactly what’s I wanted to do!
i wanted to get paid to help people improve their lives!
Many people struggle with admitting what they actually want in life because they make themselves wrong for it.
I got a message today from a woman who asked me if it’s okay to want to be in a relationship with someone who would treat her well.
Why do we make ourselves so wrong for what we really want?
I believe there are a few reasons.
I think it’s easier to make ourselves wrong for what we want (in the short term) because we are actually afraid of what might happen if we spend years going after our dreams but they don’t end up coming true.
So we bullshit ourselves and make ourselves wrong for what we want, killing any motivation or excitement that comes with it.
This is why waking up dreams in people is one of my all time favorite things to do.
We aren’t really living if we aren’t going after a dream!
As soon as a dream is woken up, inspiration, motivation and an enthusiasm about life follows!
So give yourself full permission to go after your dreams and what you want.
There’s nothing wrong with what you want…
In fact, there’s so much right about it!
That dream was planted in your mind for a reason and that reason is for you to go after it, not to judge it!
So what are you waiting for…
Get after it 😉
