A couple of years ago, a former colleague of mine remarked: “But it’s awful when people dream that their working day will end as soon as possible. Their personal day, which no one will ever give them back! "

It turned out pessimistic ... But the truth is that, according to the American consulting company Gallup, 70% of the world's working population have a negative or indifferent attitude towards what they are doing. That is, many healthy, talented, extraordinary people dream that their day (and, in fact, their whole life) will end as soon as possible.

Therefore, I am very glad that the topic of finding your vocation has become so urgent and acute.

But before we dive into our dreams and take the first steps towards the desired lifestyle, I ask you to watch this video. It will take 8 minutes, but after that the written dry words will acquire taste and rich colors for you.

Well, are you smiling? 🙂

Now we can safely move on. I give 90% that you recognized yourself. And perhaps they remembered that same unfulfilled dream called "someday".

My mom is a violinist. But for the past 20 years she has been working in a factory and
makes money. Does she dream of turning back time and finding out what her life would be like if she chose a career as a musician? Dreaming.

When I ask people at consultations or workshops what kind of ice cream they like, people feel embarrassed, smile, but they know the answer for sure: vanilla, strawberry, pistachio, lemon. Someone knows for sure that they don't like ice cream. And this is also the answer. This is an accurate knowledge of yourself and your tastes. But the whole point is in the next question: how do you know this? 🙂

Until you try, you won't understand. And if you realize that you do not like, for example, chocolate ice cream, then you simply decide that it is worth trying something else. Or that ice cream isn't your forte and you love smoothies.

In choosing your direction of life, the same story.

Improve self-esteem?

Self-esteem and confidence need to be worked on. Change your thoughts, beliefs. Start praising yourself for small and big victories. At school and university, we were taught to look at our mistakes, generously highlighted with a red pen, but no one taught us to look at our victories. In your own beautiful handwriting, for example 🙂

What was in the past can no longer be changed. But you can change your life. And start praising yourself - too.

Not a single child has yet refused to walk because he did not succeed from the first, second, eighth time.

Do you know what people regret before leaving this life? The fact that they did not make their dreams come true and were engaged in an unloved business is in the first place. And I bet you already knew that .

Dream. Vividly imagine what kind of life you would like to lead. Where and what time to wake up, how to work (at home, in the office, in the workshop, outdoors, in the dance hall - substitute your own version), what to do and with whom, how to spend leisure time.

Listen to yourself and your desires. Answer honestly what you want at the moment. And organize it yourself. Even if not immediately (as in the story with my friend - it took her 10 months). Maybe you want to take a day off, buy sweets and watch a movie? Allow yourself a celebration of body and soul. Go to the beach, buy some fruit and taste life again. Have you long dreamed of becoming a stewardess / steward? Find vacancies, fill them, go through interviews and implement your plans.

Explore your interests and abilities. What interests you, what do you read about, what topics do you watch videos on on YouTube, what have you long dreamed of trying?
