 Find Fulfillment Until You Can Live Your Dream
By: Ashley LaineFor so long I did what I was supposed to do with my life. I was doing what everyone else wanted me to do and I was miserable. I was adequate, yet I did not shine at anything I did. I have always worked hard as I am sure most of you have, yet at the end of the day I was still tired and unfulfilled.
One day I sat and spoke to a friend named Judy. She told me that I would already be successful if I would just focus and find something I loved to do. I was dabbling in this and that and not really giving any of it my all. I felt torn, because I did not want to give up on one thing because I wanted to keep my options open. I was taught at a young age that if you quit you fail.
My family needed my income, so quitting was not an option. So I found fulfillment in what I was doing, until I could find and do what I loved. Fist, I sat down and made a list of everything I was good at and everything I hated to do. Once I had these two lists then I was able to hire an assistant to do those things that I did not like to do and I was able to focus on my talents and strengths.
I started succeeding more consistently and my income started increasing as well. I could easily afford the $12 per hour my assistant cost and I as able to focus. Judy was right, I just had to find my own way to define and use her advice. Stay true to your talents and delegate out those things you are not good at or those things you do not like to do.
Unfortunately, there will still be days you want to hit the snooze alarm ten times because you have to do something that you hate to do, yet as a whole my life improved significantly because I was living my talents until I could find and live my dreams. I hope this helps you find a bit of joy in your own life.
