What Should I Do with My Life?



Where are those dreams and aspirations of youth? It's not too late to explore the possibility of living the rest of your life passionately. Personal and business success starts with answering the question: "What should I do with my life?"

What Should I Do with My Life?

This question tells us that some people keep from finding themselves because they feel guilty for simply taking this question seriously. Many people feel guilty for obsessing about what kind of work they should do. It feels self-indulgent. Yet, people succeed by unleashing a productive, creative and focused energy that flows from the inside-out to work at things they love doing. Decide what you can devote your life to and then live your dream.

Yet, there are too many smart, educated, talented people operating at a slow speed in jobs they are just tolerating.

They have put their dream in a lock box so they could go out an make a ton of money to support the big house, the expensive car, the summer/winter place, the private schools, etc. The unfortunate outcome of following this path, is that they become emotionally invested in that world--and don't really want to ditch it by opening up the lock box and letting their dream surface.

You can take the shortest route to living the good life by building the confidence to live happily within your means. Sure, it's scary to imagine living on less. But embracing your dream is surprisingly liberating. Instilled with a sense of purpose, your spending habits naturally reorganize because you discover that you need less. Sooner or later, we all yearn to break out of our secure harbors.
Now
Are you ready to live your life to its fullest?

Do you know your "life's work"...or...are you unaware and living by trial and error?

Are you wasting your energy by being pulled in many directions?
You Get What You Tolerate

In medicine, you look at how "well tolerated" a drug will be related to its side effects. At work and at home, many people evaluate new opportunities related to what can be well tolerated. Yet after life, most people don't want their tombstone to read, "He tolerated stuff for other people because they paid him." Especially, when we realize that we can make more money and have more fun doing work that engages our passions. Life is too short for doing work you don't enjoy for people you don't respect.

If you are taking a "well tolerated" approach to life, consider taking a new approach. By knowing who you are and what you are meant to do, you can focus your energy and transform your life. LifeSignature is the tracing of the talents we are given and how we express them in our lives.

You asked: "What should I do with my life?"

Well I stopped there, clicked 'posted comment' to ask you have you answered the question "Who you are? How can/do you identify your 'Self'? And, what are you for, in simplest words the purpose of your life?' If you've failed to have any clear answers to this set query, I fear your original question is fail to enlighten you. And, if you've found answer to that set-querry, well the foundation has been built and super-structure is only left to be made. Good luck.
