Know who you are so you can start living a fulfilling life kathryns-blog.com /know-who-you-are/ Kathryn
Know who you are so you can start living a fulfilling life I think we all want a fulfilling life but not all of us are willing to take the steps to actively seek it. What we as individuals define as fulfilling changes between each of us. You don’t have to be like Mother Theresa and go work in missionaries (unless that’s your thing), a fulfilling life might be for you raising a happy family, being good at your job and some form of community involvement. But the fact is, you won’t find fulfilment unless you start with looking at yourself and what you truly want.
You are going to grow and change I say this a lot because it’s true and sometimes we just need to be reminded of that. What you want now may change in the future and that’s okay. Once you achieve one goal you will naturally look for the next. This is why it’s important to enjoy the process and be happy now, because you will always have new goals. If you have a major life mission that’s fantastic! Not everyone does though and that’s okay. Remember to split your goals up into smaller chunks so they don’t freak you out. I want to help women use their uniqueness to create a business for themselves and so I’ve started step one as learning new skills and getting out there. I’m not sure where it’s going to lead me but I know I’m on the right path. Finding that first point that will start you off is perfect – because as I said, once you achieve that first goal you build on it and make a new one.
Don’t let other’s perceptions of you define you Other people will always see you through the lenses of their own eyes. You have the ability to surprise people – including yourself – so if someone says “oh you’re just not gifted in that way” don’t let that stop you, because how do they know really if you’ve never tried. If you are passionate about something you will be driven to learn more and develop skills, which is awesome because it’s a hell of a lot easier then trudging through something you are not so thrilled about. Take some time to have different experiences so that you can learn what you enjoy. You won’t know until you give it a go! Don’t let other people push their own fears and insecurities onto you! The modern world belongs to the bold. As Oscar While said, “Be yourself; everyone else is taken”
Write stuff down I’m sure you hear this a lot but it’s because it works. It’s important to be clear about who you are and what you want.
