I need to make a change in my life. I am mired in daily banality pretending to care about something that leaves me cold and resentful everyday. The "experts" all say "follow your passion", but what they don't tell you is how to find that passion. That thing that makes life worth living. All I know is that I'm not doing it and that means it's time for a change. It's going to be a new year and I'm pissed. Pissed that I'm not doing what I should be with my life, that I'm not following my bliss, and that "this" (waving hands about aimlessly) is all my life amounts to. It's time for a change.

Time's running out...time for a change
I've been ill for the last, few days and in that time I've had the opportunity to think. One: I hate being sick. The lethargic feeling, the dizziness and worse of all the loss of control. Anyone who knows me knows I hate not being in control. You could say I'm a bit anal (a bit?! I hear some of you say). The second thing is that while lying on death's bed (man-flu, the worse) it makes you realise that the things that you think of as important in your life really are not that important. You're forced to rearrange your priorities.
I need to make a change in my life. I am mired in daily banality pretending to care about something that leaves me cold and resentful everyday.

Firstly, don't listen to the experts anymore, you already took all you need to know.
ReplyDeleteSecondly by further looking to them you're shifting responsibility and accountability away from yourself thus delegating control.
Thirdly all the answers are already in front of you, you're just not seeing the dots.
Fourth and finally the only way to bring any fruitation and realisation to all this is to actively connect the dots!! Before this points 1-3 should be undertaken and then point 4. Then when you're doing it this is point 5. If I stress "if" it feels like you could do "it" forever without monetary gain or external validation and tangible success then you found your passion, then you move to point 6, make a living from it.
