If you would have met me about 15 years ago, you would find that I was struggling with finding my true calling in life. While I was going through the motions of living the responsible and logical life I thought we all should live, my soul was slowly dying.
As the years passed by, I realized I was craving a life where I knew I was making a difference. A life that would allow me to embrace all parts of my being and feel creative, powerful, and passionate about life. Isn’t that what life was supposed to be about?
Didn’t they tell us that we could be anything we wanted to be growing up? I couldn’t quite figure out how that could be when everyone was telling me to do all the ‘adult’ things like go to college, get a job, and then pay bills like the rest of society. I felt like an odd duck for wanting more.
Not necessarily more money (though I did want that), but more meaning. I wasn’t willing to accept the idea that we were put on this planet to merely survive life. My soul told me otherwise and come hell or high water I was going to figure out what it would take to create that meaningful life I so desperately craved.
And I did and it turns out it boiled down to 5 simple things…(Spoiler alert: Money wasn’t one of them.)
