Are You Living The Life You Truly Want
Take a moment to think about what you are doing at the moment and what it will lead to in the future.
Now ask yourself this: What do you want?
Ask it again: What do you want?
Now a third time: What do you really want?
Too often in life we are not doing what we truly want, but instead are doing what we think we should be doing.
I fell into this trap: I was smart, got good grades, and liked maths – so obviously going into finance seemed like the right choice for me, and friends, family, and society in general made me believe this.
But then I took a step back and realised that it is not what I truly want. I want to be inspiring and helping people out, whilst being an entrepreneur – that is what I really want.
Are you walking on a path which is leading you astray because you’re following a route which society says you should take? Is it going to lead you to being happy and fulfilled? If not, remember that you don’t have to follow it – life is lived by you, and not anyone else.
It can be really tough sometimes when family try and pressure you to follow a certain route – most of the time it is out of love… but ultimately, they are not living your life… you are, so go and live it how you want.
