There is no eternal happiness. Not in achieving success, or even in achieving spiritual enlightenment.
There is just life, falling apart and coming together again.
When you truly see this, you start to relax. You don’t have to control everything. You don’t have to
force yourself to be happy all the time.
And you don’t have to force yourself to be motivated.
I’ve had times when I don’t feel driven to grow my business. I used to push myself during these
times, but no longer.
The drive always returns. When I don’t have a lot of energy, it just means I need to take time off, and
relax, in whatever way is practical for me.
Here’s a short video on how I went from misery to doing what I love:
8. Following Your Passion
Most of us know what our heart yearns for, but we are afraid to go after it. It is often the thing you’re
afraid of doing but desperately want to do that is your passion and purpose in life.
I remember a few years ago before I started this blog. I was afraid that I had nothing to contribute to
the world with my writing.
I was afraid that I wasn’t good enough. As the years passed, I became sick of my excuses and negative
thoughts. Like a kid who stands up to his bully, I decided to stand up to myself and take action
despite the fear-mongering of my mind.
I wasn’t going to let anything stand in my way of doing what I love. If people didn’t like it, that was
their problem, I was going to do it anyway.
As I started writing, dozens of people read and responded to my words. Today, tens of thousands of
people read my content every single month.
The fears and doubts you have about going after your passion are unfounded.
When you are ready to take that step into the unknown even though you are scared, your life will
transform.
