What to Do When You Can’t Figure Life Out

Trying to Figure Life Out Don’t know what you want?

Don’t even know where to start?

On top of all this, you may feel like you need clarity, and you need it now.

Yet the problem isn’t what you think it is.

It’s not your job to figure your life out. It’s your job to live life, and to do the best you can in this very moment.

Doesn’t make sense, does it?

Something that has become more and more apparent over the years is how little influence my plans have on what actually happens.

I still have a direction for where I want my business to go, but I’m not rigid about it.

You could say that I have more of a general direction rather than a step-by-step plan.

I also have the benefit of not needing to be rigid because I don’t need to aggressively grow my business, because I’ve minimized my expenses.

Whenever I want to grow my business, I ask myself the magic question: Why?

It all started in 2014, when I went through the darkest few months of my life.

Everything seemed to be falling apart.

My life felt meaningless, pointless, and empty.

It felt like there was no reason to live.

But I was lucky. I was able to stay positive because of what I knew.

Trouble finding your passion or purpose?

Stuck?

If so, you need to stop trying to find the perfect passion or purpose.

Have you ever avoided taking action because you were afraid of putting yourself out there?

The tension between wanting to hide and wanting to succeed is a feeling I know all too well.

But I also know that if I want to do work I love, I have to go out there and actually do something.

I can’t let other people, or my fears, control my life.

Yes, you may face negativity when you start a business, write, or whatever it is that you want to do.

But so what?
