What Excites You? Are You Living the Life You Want? 

What gets your heart racing and fills you with pure joy? Are you currently living a life that aligns with your desires? (OK, I get it. This is the cheapest way to start. But it gets better, I promise). Well, it seems that I am not one of the lucky people. And now, I am on a self-discovery journey.

What do I actually like? What truly makes me tick?

Now, don’t get me wrong – my life so far has been quite the standard fare. The good student, the accomplished LL.M. graduate, the great job, marriage at 30, two adorable kids, a cozy house, and amazing vacations to picturesque destinations. Everyone around me is proud, and I won’t let them down. My social title, earned through my occupation, is something I hold onto with pride.

But then, fate had other plans for me – the long COVID hit me and forced me to take time off and reflect. I found myself pondering,

Turns out, those seemingly simple questions hit me hard. I always assumed I liked what I did – after all, people praised my work, and I seemed to excel at it. But deep down, I knew the truth: it’s EXTREMELY boring.

So, I made a decision. I’ve got potentially 50 more years ahead of me, maybe 30 more in the workforce (unless I somehow manage to retire early – fingers crossed!). I refuse to live this way, lost and unfulfilled, without knowing what truly excites my soul.

And so, I embarked on my self-discovery journey and put myself out there. Now, here’s the thing – I’m not exactly a social media maven. In fact, my Facebook account is about as private as it gets. But I’ve realized that if I want to find my true purpose, I must step into this vast online space.

So, here I am on my first day in this digital realm, and trust me, I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon.

Now, dear wanderer, if you find yourself nodding along with my tale, I invite you to join me on this quest. Together, we’ll share, care, support, and discover our paths.

I wish you all the best on your unique journey (read my 14 tips to guide your journey of self-discovery).
