How to Determine What You Really Want to be Spending Your Life Doing
We are all dying. We live our lives how we live our days. If we spend most of our time working for other people or doing things that we are not passionate about then we spend most of our life on other people.
You have 24 hours a day. Shouldn’t you be spending most of them on yourself and your family?
You need to ask yourself some questions. What is your why? What is your end goal? Why are you getting out of bed each day? What makes you happy?
Ask yourself these questions and write down what comes to your mind. You will be surprised how much it helps you to understand yourself when you take the time to write down what you are thinking and get to the heart of it.
Now I want you to make a list of all the things you are the most passionate about.
Here is my list of all the things I am most passionate about:
Evan (my wonderful husband)
Our Family Members
Friends
Travel
Minimalism
Giving to others
Now make a list of all of the little things you enjoy.
Here is a list of some of the little things I enjoy:
Chocolate
Creme Brulee
Pizza
Baking
Cooking
Dragons
Writing Poetry
Reading
Lilacs
Green
Essential oils
Sunshine
The Beach
Tacos
Margaritas
If you have completed this thinking exercise and written down your passion lists you now have a clearer picture of what makes you happy and what you should be spending the majority of your life on.
Now you need to ask yourself one more question.
How much of your life are you currently spending doing the things you are most passionate about and the little things that make you happy?
If you aren’t happy with the percentage of your life you are currently able to spend on the people and things you love then it sounds to me like its time for some changes. I know it is hard and life gets really busy. I know you have been trying to do your best to keep it all together. We all get lost sometimes and we all find it hard to follow our dreams and live the life we truly want to live. We all can be guilty of wasting time daily.
My hope is that now you will be more aware and mindful of what you really want to be spending your time each day doing, and of what you ultimately will be spending your life doing.
I find it very sad when I see people not living their best life. Evan and I are making it one of our missions to help others to be mindful and learn how to live their best life, spending their time on the people and things that really matter in the end.
