What would you do?!



"What would you do if you weren't afraid?!" 
---"Lean In" Sheryl Sandberg--

And what is your answer?! Will you go skydiving?! Will you quit your job and start your own business?! Will you go back to school?! Will you accept yourself for who you are?! Will you tell someone that you're not taking any more that nonsense you've been putting up with? What will you do?!

And when you figure out that answer, DO that.That's the next part of this quote. It's so much easier said than done, right? You would probably say that "I can't just quit job! How am I gonna pay the rent?!" or "I can't just tell them that! What if they hate me!?" or "What if I find out that I'm actually not cut out for that!?" SO?! Are you happy for not doing what you really want to do?! The answer probably will be NO. You're probably feeling miserable doing that 9-5 job you hate so much. Or you're content with that job, but you feel like you are meant for something more than that. Let me ask you one more question, when you asked yourself that question, were you excited to answer those?! If the answer is yes, you probably know that's what you ought to be doing.

The odds are that it's just a matter of time. You've been hiding that burning desire for a long time. You've been wanting to do that. You know that you're meant to do that. So... why not?! I realized that more and more lately. The fact that the thoughts came into your head, that means that you're most likely to be/do/have those things. You've been wanting to do that skydiving for years, but you always say you'll do it when you have money. You said you're gonna go back and finish school when time is right. How long has it been?! You said you'll start your own business when you have enough connection and fund and right moment. Has anything changed since you said that a few years ago?! The right time is NOW. Let's do that now! I'm not telling you to quit job and do whatever you want to do and be happy with whatever happens. But, you are in charge of you action. You're not in charge of the outcome, that's a different story. The more important thing is to take action. You might fail or make mistakes few times. It's ok. just learn from it. Make adjustment the next time.

I read this in one book. In exercise that we were supposed to write 2 obituaries. One: if you die right now. Two; if you die the way you wanted to live your life. And start living like that life you wanted to live!

We all have dreams. Now, this time that you're living and breathing right now, this is the dream that you've dreamed of. This is the moment. Start living your life now!

Love
