What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a very annoying question. But even in our twenties, thirties or thirties, we will find ourselves asking this question. When I was less than 10 years old, I set my life goals with a little naivety. By the time I was 20 years old, I had made some achievements in the career I chose 10 years ago. Soon, my life improved and I won everything I wanted.
With a long-term career goal, it can give you comfort and certainty and let you move on. Knowing your goal in life is the starting point of life. With it, you will know where you come from; Know which direction you want to go; I know what I want to do and how to do it well.
On the other hand, when deciding which career path, job or training you want to choose, hesitation and impetuousness will make it more difficult for you to make a decision. If you don't have a definite path in your career, some people will feel like a ship drifting on the sea without an anchor and can only drift in all directions without direction. These people can't achieve anything.
This is just one aspect of my career.
Life is extremely complicated, and it has countless uncertainties. Only our creativity and courage can limit these uncertainties. Perhaps, do you want to organize a family and buy a house? Or do you want to travel, see the world and meet different people? Or both? Want to start a business? Or maybe you want to live in seclusion in the mountains and live a self-sufficient life on a quiet small farm? Want to learn martial arts? Learn to draw? Want to meditate every day? Want to write a novel?
In fact, you may vaguely think that all of the above are things you want to do. Faced with so many choices, you have to ...
Deal with in priority order
Sometimes, having many choices is as frustrating as having no choice at all. The first step, of course, is to rank your many pursuits, interests and possible life paths. If you are not bound and married now, you will have more choices. But if you have all kinds of responsibilities and obligations to bear now, you must take these responsibilities and obligations into account when facing your own choices.
Of course, this does not mean that you should give up any of your dreams. Being able to do what you want and fulfill your responsibilities at the same time is also a manifestation of creativity.
In my opinion, this step is like playing "brainstorming". First, come up with all possible solutions without any distractions, and then write them down. In this way, you can start sorting them out. But how to sort it? First you need to have some ...
think deeply and plan carefully
Vision is everything. Your vision is everything to you. If a person has never left the town where he was born, his vision will be limited. If a person ignores the finiteness of material existence, then he will also lack foresight.
Many people who pass by death will have a brand-new arrangement for their choice. Their lives will be very different from then on. On the one hand, material attributes are no longer so important to them. In contrast, love, sympathy, friendship and enjoying life are much more important.
Before ranking them, you must give yourself time to relax and clarify your views as much as possible. Think back to your life before this and listen to your thoughts. Imagine what you think is important in life when you look back on the past in your sixties.
Now, it's time to go ...
experience
Contrary to what some people hope, life is not an intellectual debate. Life is about what you do and what happens in your life. We are life, we are alive. Take your step and live. Try to experience it, so that you will know how you will feel if you keep doing it and really do it.
For example, if you think it is your life to teach something you like (such as martial arts), then try it first. Start with the assistant coach, and then see if you like it. You may find that teaching others martial arts is very different from practicing your own martial arts that you love. It is also possible that you will find that you have a gift for teaching and like to teach others, and your skills are also improving while teaching others.
You won't know if you can do it unless you try. Until you really try, your life is just a bunch of meaningless speculations. Choose a possible way to go, try it first, and see if the result decides to pursue or give up. No matter what happens, you must remember ...
The essence of life
Even with the most detailed plans and goals, everything will change. Life is not static, it will not follow our wishes. Just like music has ups and downs, still music is not good music. You should remember that life is full of possibilities. When difficulties, insurmountable obstacles and unprecedented situations come to you, you can't back down. The gate of the past has been closed. Turn it off and let it go. What you have to do at this time is to find another door that has just been opened for you.
