You Are In Control
Brief: This post talks about finding out what it is that you truly love and pursuing that. There are countless opportunities to create a life and career doing whatever it is that you love. You just need to commit and go for it.
Whatever excuse you’re telling yourself that is holding you back from chasing your dream or pursuing a passion is probably BS. The time is now, whats holding you back?
The people you envy are no smarter than you
What’s great about the world we live in today is that entrepreneurs and creators are our new idols and being unique is celebrated. Think of the social media accounts that you follow and envy. They are probably living the life you wish you could live. They wake up every morning excited about their work day, instead of fighting off the relentless urge to call in “sick”. Whatever it is that you love to do, there is somebody out there doing it for a living. If you’ve convinced yourself it’s not possible, you’re wrong.
Creating and distributing has never been easier
The possibilities that social media and the internet present are endless. Before, If you wanted to make movies you had to have actors, camera crews, directors, studio’s to pay for it all and you had to wait for months or years for it to get edited and released. Now you can film something on your phone, edit it on free software and upload it to the world for free onto Youtube. The world isn’t in the process of changing, it has changed. We are apart of a new age and a new way of doing things, you should be taking full advantage of the endless opportunities.
Find out what makes you happy → Do that
You’re in full control of your next move. You can stay in your lane and continue down this path of a predictable, comfortable, relatively blahh life. Or you can choose to do that thing you have always wanted to do. Or actually go to that screensaver paradise you stare at everyday on your computer and take your own picture. With that being said, some people want to live that structured life and that’s fine! I’m not here to tell you to do anything other than what makes you happy. If you’re reading this and you’re not happy then it’s time for you to make a change.
The 6 month rule
You are in the driver’s seat, nobody else. If you’re prepared to take responsibility for all of your decisions, you can be free to make any choice in the world. Ask yourself, if I had 6 months to live what would I be doing? How would I fill that final 6 months? However you answer that question will tell you what the most important things in your life are. Focus more of your time on those things. Understand that you’re 100% in control of your own life and you don’t need to follow in anyone’s footsteps.
You owe it to yourself
Make whatever decisions you have to make in order to better yourself and your life. No more putting things off until tomorrow, no more fearing what others will think and no more second guessing. It’s simple, If you aren’t happy, make a change. If you have a dream, pursue it. Don’t let anyone else’s reactions to your decisions affect the way you make your decisions. Do what you think is best for you and never forget, you are in control.
Keep chasing your Cloud!
