How to Find Your Mission in Life (Part 2)
Stop wasting your time with stuff you don’t care about
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”
Confucius
Do you remember as a kid when people kept asking you: “ What do you want to be when you grow up?”?
Do you know now? No? Welcome to the club.
It would be wonderful if we could know exactly what our strengths and our passions are from an early life. That will save us a lot of time and misery. Finding that intersection between skills and vocation is the holy grail of a fulfilling life.
Unfortunately most people never find it.
It’s too easy to be practical, to chase after money of comfort, to use common sense and to keep reminding yourself to forget your dreams and “get real”
Getting real is a cop-out
You’ve been told from an early age that there are dreams and there is reality, and the sooner you see the world as it is, the better you’ll do in life.
Bullshit
There is no such thing as an objective reality. We create our own reality every day, the moment we open our eyes.
