Isn’t life interesting?
Start out thinking you’ll go one way and end up somewhere completely different.
The thing is that often times what we envisioned work or our dreams to be turn out to be quite different from what they end up being in reality.
We envision work being challenging and rewarding when it can turn out to be downright dull.
We dream of riches only to find that they don’t bring us the joy that we had hoped for.
But that’s all part of the journey.
If someone were to ask me what we are here for, I would say that it is to be the best you you can be.
And in doing so you find your unique talents and contribution to the world.
Sounds rather hammy I know, but I truly do believe it.
We can’t all be successful doctors. We need teachers, lawyers, bankers, yoga instructors, scientists, physiotherapists, and, well, you get the idea.
Life isn’t just one path.
It’s a journey we all must take, each with our own unique destinations.
As you’ll learn from my podcast, I never expected to live where I live, do what I do, or study what I study. But that’s just what happened.
People can change. That doesn’t mean they will but they can…if they choose to.
I made a conscious decision to change my path.
It’s not been easy and I’m sure there will be bumps ahead but now at the age of 38 I truly do believe I have found my calling.
If you’ve found yours, great. If not, keep looking…each day brings with it limitless opportunities.
