Choose wisely

There are a million things we can be working on.

We can study a new language. We can learn to code. We can learn to fly a plane. We can play an instrument. We can become a police officer. We can travel the world.

With all these options and so little time how do we choose? How do we know what we should be working on and what we should abandon?

You can choose the most appealing option first, or the option that you believe will benefit your ultimate goal. 

What if you don’t know what you want to do?

Try something. Try a bunch of things. Try doing an activity or studying a topic you never thought you’d be interested in. You never know until you try.

Push yourself outside of your comfort zone. Do something you’ve always wanted to but you’re afraid of. It could be public speaking or speaking a foreign language or starting a business.

Do something you’re not comfortable with.

You’ll start to find certain activities that interest you more than others. You’ll start to form passions for things you never thought possible.

Keep at it until you find something you’re willing to sacrifice your time to complete.

We have a finite amount of time on this earth. If we had 1,000 lives we wouldn’t be able to learn everything we want.

Don’t waste your time on activities and topics that you don’t like. You don’t have enough time.

Have fun learning new things. If you realize half way through completing a project that you’re not interested, move on.

Try learning something new this year. Focus on finishing the projects that truly interest you.

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” -Walt Disney
