Ten years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life, you didn'd settle for it.
You can be anything and the world is yours.
Just, you have to find out what do you want for yourself, and you have to be sure that you found what is for you, because as I said you can be anything, but you cannot be everything.
So, first step is to believe in yourself, and to know that you can.
Second step is to be sure what is for you. Here I do not think occupation only. Your lifestyle should be expression of what you are. You have to live a life that you feel is totally yours and is meant to be yours. Everything what you do, should be in order to make you satisfied. Not always happy, but satisfied. As I always say, happiness is a strong feeling that cannot last very long and whan you are satisfied that can last forever.
So, when you found out what is really for you, you are going to feel like it is the only in the whole world. For example, if you have chosen your occupation and you really love it, you will know that it is the only thing that you can doo. If you do not know that and you do not feel that, maybe you should change your occupation. Or any other thing in your life that is important for you and you do not feel it as yours.
It is never too late to change things. But, get up right now and go change what you do not like, do not settle. Never.
You are not too old, you do not need more money, you do not need better conditions. Because, if you had all that, you would not have to change anything, you would be satisfied with what you are and what you have.
Do not settle for your life, never. Here is Serbia we have a phrase that says 'give what you give' and it means we do not care what will be given to us, we just want something, anything. Never get what is given, always take what you want to take.
You deserve to have what you truly want to have.
Unfortunately, many people nowadays do not know what they want, they are going to colleges that their parents are chosing for them. They are doing jobs that are paid well, because they want money. They are doing things that society think should be done.
Money is not happiness. College is not happiness, being accepted by the society is not happiness. If is it not for you is not happiness.
If you do not want to have a regular 'nine to five' well paid job that is okay, and if you already have it and you do not want it, it is okay to quit that job. It is okay to make for living from your hobby.
In case that you do not want to get married but you want to have kids, that is totally fine. It is also fine if you want to get married and you do not want kids. Also, it is okay to do not want none of them.
If you want to work all day because you love your job and that is what makes you happy that is okay.
It is just fine to be shy, to read a lot, to do not read at all. You can go to every party in your city, if that makes you happy, you do not have to go to any party, you can travel a lot or be at home all the time.
Whatever you want to, whatever makes you satisfied.
I cannot tell you what is for you or what you should try. What I can tell you is that for you is what makes you feel satisfied. What brings you peace is yours. Accept it, and work on it.
So, do not settle for anything because someone said you to do it, because society thinks it is upright.
It is not upright if it is not for you.
So, go ahead find fhat is yours, and when you find it, take it and never ever let it!
