Life constantly throws things at us, testing us and our ability to take it and adapt. One of such things I’ve had to deal with recently is overthinking, uncertainty and lack of clarity.
It’s been two weeks since I’ve been away from here and within that time frame, I’ve had to do a lot of soul searching. Thinking thoughts of reflection and self evaluation. Asking myself if I’m not doing a little too much work than I can comfortably bear or manage.
First I have this blog which I absolutely do love writing. Then I have my full time job as a fashion designer, together with all of the multifaceted things attached to it to contend with. And seeing as all these extra things are not yet bearing as much fruits as expected, staying consistent becomes a little more difficult.
I couldn’t help but crave more clarity and direction on what venture I really should be focusing all my strengths on. That one venture I should be focusing on that will bring me certainty, stability and the kind of career fulfillment I want.
Because in life, there are so many things lying in wait to distract you. And if you don’t have that full conviction of things working out even if you can’t see any results yet, it’s easy to get swayed away from your path.
So I realized I needed to first sit down and clarify things in my mind. I thought about all the things I was focusing my thoughts on. And eliminated offers that didn’t align with my goals and the kind of life I envisioned for myself. Only after this can you move on with full determination towards working on your dreams.
Now that that’s out of the way, I fired up myself to keep working even if I’m not getting the kind of results I want right now. I started focusing more on the little tasks I had to do everyday that will eventually propel me into more favorable outcomes in the future. Because the actual truth is that all of these small actions keep compounding. And when you start reaping the fruits of all your consistency, you’ll be amazed at how all those little day to day efforts brought you these huge rewards.
What do you do when you’re feeling like you’re just all over the place? And can’t seem to find clarity, direction or a sense of purpose with all the things you do? Please share in the comments section, I would love to hear from you.
