How to Discover What You Want in
Your LIfe
Are you struggling to figure out what you truly want in your
life? If so, I’ve got answers for you.
Here’s how to discover what you want in your life:
1. First, get
rid of what you don’t want in your life
Here’s how most people try to find their passion: they start
searching for their passion on top of an already crazy-busy, hectic schedule.
They get stressed out by their intense quest to find what they love and end up
giving up their search, succumbing to a life they don’t really love.
Instead, I want you to focus first on what you don’t want
in your life. Even if you have no idea what you truly do want, you more than
likely have things in your life that you know you don’t want. Start
getting rid of the unimportant junk in your life. Get rid of the time-sucking,
empty activities that don’t add value to your life. Spend less time with toxic
people. Start saying no to activities that don’t align with your
priorities so you have more time to say yes to what truly matters.
You must create time and space in your life to find what you
want, and the best way to do that is to start getting rid of the unimportant
junk in your schedule and in your environment.
2. Understand
that clarity will come from taking action
Self-discovery is important, and there are some very helpful
tests to help you understand your innate strengths and your personality. These
tests can be incredibly eye-opening, and when you understand who you are, you
can make choices that best use your strengths. However, self-discovery alone
typically isn’t going to give you all the answers you need. If you truly want
clarity in your life, you’ll need to get out from behind your computer and take
action.
Clarity comes from taking action.
The self-discovery process must be combined with taking massive
action. Get out there and try new things. Ultimately, no matter how many
aptitude tests you take, you won’t know what you truly love until you try it.
You must act to find the clarity you desire. Whether it’s taking a community
education course on a topic that interests you, speaking at an event for a
cause that’s meaningful to you, mentoring someone, or starting to write the
book you’ve been longing to write — there are thousands of ways you can take
action to start figuring out what you love. Pay attention to what tugs at your
heart and captures your attention, and take action related to the topics that
pique your interest.
3. Get out of
your comfort zone on a regular basis
If you haven’t found what you love in your current life, you’re
not going to find it by continuing your same-old routine, day in and day out,
for another decade. If you haven’t found what lights you up, you’re going to
need to shake things up in your life and get out of your comfort zone. The life
you dream of living is outside of your comfort zone. You’ll need to step
out of your comfort zone over and over to grow into the person you are meant to
be and live the life you long to live. Not sure how to get out of your comfort
zone?
Discovering what you want in your life isn’t always easy, but
it’s definitely possible. By following the above steps (get rid of what you
don’t want in your life, consistently take action toward what interests you,
and step out of your comfort zone on a regular basis), you will be well on your
way to discovering the life you truly want to live.
