You will die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so do all living creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humans included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meaning,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
at some point,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you\u2019ll stop having the chance to set a goal,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
do all you can to reach it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and enjoy its payoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you think about this goal you have,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of \u201cmaking an impact in life,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
through your work\u201d…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you want to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to keep biting your lips,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
instead of sharing your thoughts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
during a meeting at work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep trying to live up to what someone-you-care-about expects of you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of setting you own \u201cbars\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even when you feel she\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or he\u2019s asking too much?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep on \u201cgoing for what\u2019s easy\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For \u201cwhat you can do with both eyes closed\u201d,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but that has become boring?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep \u201cplaying it safe\u201d,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when making any decision?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of \u201ctaking a risk but protecting its downside\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to keep staying on a path you\u2019ve set for yourself as a teen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but feel it doesn\u2019t match who you are, as an adult, now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of opening up your options,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to a few trades where you background is considered an asset?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep believing that your fate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and career are set?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cause of your age,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
your schooling,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or past work experiences?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to keep working at a job that feels meaningless?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep as a hobby something you wish,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and know you could make a living from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep dreaming small?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead than at the height of your talent,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
your skills,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or level of experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the answer is \u201cNo, I don\u2019t want to keep doing this\u201d,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to any of the habits listed above,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
choke your excuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you can start using, both the time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the energy a bad habit comes to suck out of you…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
every passing day…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and put them in doing what you really want instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fun part?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You won’t be the first to choke an excuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or many,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other people have done it before,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and they\u2019ve thrived from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
