Let me just put it this way... During these last two years I have been working with something that inspires me. I have been so blessed that I have found what I love to do. I have found that «something» that makes me excited just thinking of it.
That «something» that makes me warm inside. Because I love it so much.
But when I first thought of doing something else, I had no clue what to do or where to start. I knew where I had my educational skills. I knew where it was «safe» to start.
But the problem was this:
One day I wanted to do something... The next day I wanted to do something completely different! I got exhausted! When I think back on it today, I feel that I was thinking 24/7 about what my mission really was. What I was here to do with the rest of my life.
And at the same time I was wondering if it was smart of me to quit my job as a fire chief or not... (but that's a different story).
I had to dig deep down to learn how I could figure out what would make me really happy. I had to learn everything about who I was and how I could serve other people the best way.
The problem is that we think we should do one thing. The reason for that is what we have done so far, what other people expect from us and what we think we are good at.
But, like for me:
It was something completely different than what I thought I should be doing. Something completely different than what the society (if I can call it that) thought I should be doing.
It's the same for you. You might think you should be doing one thing. Or you think you can't do something special. But you can!
When you learn about who you really are, what you should really really do for a living, then the pieces in the puzzle called life fit together!
Then you know what to do with your life!
