Will 2016 be the year you finally live your life purpose?
Or will you spend yet another year being miserable in a job you either hate or just don’t enjoy? Will you spend another year feeling unfulfilled? The years fly by very quickly especially as we grow older. In Tolstoy’s story The Death of Ivan Ilyich Ivan is on his deathbed and he turns to his wife and says “What if my whole life has been wrong?” and then dies. How sad to have spent a whole life like that.
What do you think you need to do or have that will finally rocket you out of your malaise? You can keep coming up with excuse after excuse to yourself for justifying that you need to stay as you are in order to keep your partner happy or your parents happy or anyone else happy, but let me tell you this; keeping other people happy won’t make you happy! It is your life and it is up to you to live it fully. Your life is meant to be a joyous, exciting adventure, not a monotonous unhappy existence.
Worried about what other people will say if you break out of the ‘norm’? There are always going to be people that will try and talk you out of your heart’s desire for when you gather the mental, emotional and physical strength to courageously live your life purpose, you will shine a light on their miserable existence and they won’t like you for it. But they don’t matter. The people who matter will be the ones who encourage you, stand by and support you. They are the ones that give you wings in order for you to fly. The human soul doesn’t want to be tied down, it wants to soar.
Don’t die with your music still in you, let the music out and play it at full volume in 2016 : )
