Many times, with the daily hustle, the days, months and even years go by in the blink of an eye, until a moment comes when you realize that something is wrong, that something is missing and you don't even know what. Or that you have spent half your life busy with things that have not contributed much and you realize now.
To avoid these situations it is important to stop to think if you are where you want to be, so that there is a connection between what you want and what you do in your day to day; and to make sure that you are moving in the right direction, the one you want. So I recommend that you keep this in mind:
- Define where you want to be, create your map and your trajectory. If you do not know what you want you will not know when you have achieved it or if you are on the right track. If you feel that you are not where you want to be, stop to think what you want, what changes or changes in your life would make you feel satisfied and full.
- Make sure that you are the one who chooses the path and the destination, lest you end up where others want to be or where others want you to be. And if that is your case, remember that you are always in time to change the trajectory.
- Remember that being where you want does not necessarily mean having reached the destination, but being on the way. Because knowing that you are on the path that makes you happy and that you have chosen is more than enough to feel good. Do not obsess over the destination and enjoy the journey.
- Your trajectory and, of course, your destiny can change and it is normal. With age and life experiences, the things you want change, because your priorities change. It is normal and it is important that you periodically stop to reassess what your values, priorities and needs are, especially if you feel that you are missing something.
- Be flexible. Although now you have a very clear destiny and trajectory, life takes many turns, sometimes things go very well and sometimes not so well. You have to accept that there are things that we cannot control and that not everything will turn out as you want and maybe you have to change things that you had not thought about, but that does not mean that you are not on the right track. Be persistent and resilient, adapt to the circumstances, pursue what you want and change it if necessary.
- In times of stress or confusion, stop and think where you are going and what you can do today to get closer to your goal, what is important about this day. So you don't go like a headless hen, busy and stressed with things that do not bring you closer to your destination.
No matter how busy you are, it is important that you take time to rethink where you are and where you are going, if it is what you want and, if not, what you can do to get back on track. Remember that you have the power of decision and no, sometimes it is not easy, it takes courage to design life your way and follow your path and to overcome the obstacles that you will find along the way, but you have courage… What path do you want to continue
