Whoever You Are, Find Whatever You’re Into

Whoever you are, find whatever you’re into! Facebook just showed me that I’ve posted this as my status back in 2016. That’s 8 years ago. I believed in this piece of life advice then, and I believe in it even more today, after living by it religiously. This made me feel so good. It was a reminder that I’m on the right path, and what was just a piece of advice I got from other people back in the days, is what I can give to everyone today, after having followed that myself. So, this inspired me to talk about it on the blog. It has to do with finding your passion and turning it into your career, and most people say they want this, sure. Some of them don’t believe it can be profitable, so don’t even try. Others are actually more comfortable with their day job, even if they hate it, and with complaining about it, than with the discomfort you need to overcome to get in business, and the emotional challenges that come with staying in business, no matter what. Some of those people who say they want to find their passion, don’t actually invest the time it takes to define it, don’t try different things to see what feels good, and what their talents are, so they don’t see any progress with this. Others have limiting beliefs, such as thinking they are not worthy of living a good life, and getting paid to do what they love, or that it’s too good to be true, or that only the lucky few out there get to do that, but for some reason, not them. Because of those beliefs, they don’t take the action necessary to make change happen. Some, unfortunately, really, really want to find their passion, and monetize it, but they’re in a terrible position in life, and have so many problems to deal with, or live in a third world country, and they don’t even have the time or privilege to think about that and do something about it. But let’s get back to the people who have it easy, and yet don’t really find what it is they love the most, and never see where it can take them. As I said, some of them will stay this way forever. It can become your norm to feel dissatisfied with your current reality, and yet to be told by everyone around you that this is real life, and everything else is an illusion. Just a heads up though, you’re not in the right room for growth, or to start a business. But I wasn’t either, so I ignored everyone in my real life 10 years ago, I created a vision in my head that was more powerful than my current reality back then, and I found inspiration and mentors online. People who were doing what I aspired to do, people who were the proof I needed that this is indeed possible, and not crazy at all. They were usually Americans, they had already seen some success, they were location independent, they were growing their business. But they started from nothing, and they shared their story in such an authentic way, without ego involved, because I believe there is no place for ego in business. And I could resonate. They didn’t make me feel that they are more than me, or that I’m in any way less skilled than them. No, they reminded me that if it’s possible for them, it’s possible for me too.
