‘By doing what you love, you inspire and awaken the hearts of others.’
Do you practice what you preach? Do you tell others how to live their lives, yet fail to apply your own advice to yourself?
Because..
You should lead by example instead of telling others how to live their lives.
For some, your life will be inspiring. For others, it won’t. And that is okay. Do not live your life focused on other people. Live it focused on yourself, enjoying your life and doing what you love. That alone is already inspiring, without expecting it to inspire anyone or making it your goal. Your goal should be what I mentioned earlier.
If everyone lived like that, that inspiration wouldn’t even be necessary, right?
Unfortunately, many people do not do what they love, most often because they believe they cannot. They think they cannot change their current job, that it is too late, that they have no time to make changes.. in the end, fear is almost always part of the equation. And very often, it is not a lack of time but a lack of willingness.
Even if you do not like what you do and you do it simply because it pays the bills, that is okay. Just do not dismiss the possibility of change. Instead, ask yourself.. what is your hobby? What do you truly enjoy doing? What would you love to turn into your paid job?
I like writing. I love learning, exploring and finding peace through the answers to the questions that haunt me.
I love sharing all of that through my writing, with the genuine desire to help others.
Although this is not my paid job at the moment, I still do it because I know there will be people who will find it useful. And of course, I want it to become my profession!

Even though it is not my paid job.. I truly enjoy it, because the purpose of any job should not be money, but the enjoyment of what you do. Money should be the consequence of that. Patience is part of the process. So even if it never becomes my profession.. at least I enjoyed every moment of it.
Every word I write comes directly from my heart. While I am writing, nothing else exists. I feel as though I enter another dimension because I give my whole self. My soul. It is a kind of transcendental experience. I live every single word I write.
Everything is based on my studies, education, knowledge, perspective, experience and many other things that make me who I am. Everything is authentic. I put my soul, my heart and my mind into it.
As time passes, I see everything changing, and I enjoy it. I see where I was at the beginning of my journey and where I am now. I see every mistake I made. I see how my writing, my understanding and my explanations evolve. I see how I evolve.
It is a process in which you make mistakes, yet many people avoid it because they are afraid of making them. But mistakes are part of the journey. They are how we learn. People fear judgment, so they do nothing. They fear failure, so they never even begin.
So focus on yourself. Do what you love. Do what brings you joy. Even if it requires a major change. Start with one small step.
If it is not possible right now, that does not mean it never will be. Start with small changes, then watch where they lead you and decide what your next step should be. Do not be afraid of mistakes or of other people’s judgments. Follow that feeling inside you that brings you joy.
Just listen to your heart.
Not what society says.
Not what the media says.
Not what your friends say.
Not what your parents say.
Not what your partner says.
Noo..
Dare to listen to yourself. Your heart.
Follow your heart, it knows the way. Use your mind to get you there.
