Many people struggle to find strategies to succeed in their own lifes. What to do to earn money? What to do for fun? What to do to make friends? How to be happy? Not knowing the answers to all of these can be a bummer. Fortunately there is a good answer.
Let’s first try to understand why people started to be curious about such questions in the first place. For a long time, for centuries, people had a clear vision on their lifes and never asked about anything. The reason for this is very simple – they didn’t have much choice.
In the past you were born in some town or village where the whole community including your family was working at the same job somewhere in a factory or on a farm. Since these are hard jobs everyone would help one another and serve a mission to keep the community stable and developed. There were a few schools, a few stores, one music club and that’s pretty much it.
Now let’s look at modern life and opportunities. Due to urbanization many people moved from villages to towns, from towns to cities. Amount and variety of jobs has increased and the urbanized areas have filled up with numerous opportunities and entertainments. You can now do literally anything: want to go to club or a restaurant? Of course. Want to go learn how to play a guitar? Sure. Want to work on creating rockets and spacecrafts? You are welcome. It all now depends on you, on a person. So how to select from this variety?
And here goes the answer. You need to build your own life.
Imagine that you came to a restaurant. You want to order a salad. You need to select ingredients. Which ingredients would you select? Do you want spinach or broccoli? Do you want tomatoes or cucumbers? Do you want meat or mushrooms? Which dressing? Which spice?
The same goes with life. What tastes better to you? STEM or humanitarian sciences? Music or ballet? Fishing or reading a book? Or may be you want to build a company? It’s all up to you now.
Building a life can be complicated first but actually gives a lot of good benefits. Complete freedom in making a choice, ability to realize the potential, be helpful with a talent. It’s just a little effort required to create this skeleton and move on the ladder. But in the end it will give a lot of happiness and fullness of life.
