Many of us have great jobs or are in great relationships that provide security and comfort. However they do not satisfy the hunger or desire we have deep within our hearts and minds. Maybe your job pays well but is terribly boring and is far from mentally satisfying. Maybe you're in a relationship with someone where your basic needs are taken care of, but the deep love and passion is not there.
I want the same passion I have in my relationship in my career. That's why I'm pursuing my goals as a Motivational Speaker. Why not? I'm going to be challenged no matter what. Why not be challenged while going for my dream? We only live once. So I'm going to risk what is comfortable and predictable to have a chance at living life to the fullest.
I'm not going to wait for cancer or old age to have a bucket list. I'm going to live this life like it was meant to be lived.
What is it that one thing you want to do ?
Where do want to go?
What would make you feel like you are living life?
Your job can not give you what you are not willing to give yourself. Just because things are predicable doesn't mean they're fulfilling. The choice to have a life that will fulfill that desire in your heart and mind requires you to risk the predicable, or dependable and step out of your comfort zone.
Thank you for this post. I am 53 years old and I am in this pace of needing to jump. I can encourage others but fail to use that advice out of fear. Medical and financial. I know God has a plan but I also know that God orders our steps and not our sitting. Powerful post.
ReplyDeleteThank you again -Unique View for your comment. It is often easier to give advice than to take our own. Our fears will convince us to become accustomed (NOT COMFORTABLE) to environments and relationships that do not suit the vision, goals or virtues we have for ourselves. Some times we have to take that leap while we're scared. .....How will you if you jumped and landed where you want to be ?
