Just start

As the title dictates, just live but what does it mean to just live. What does it encompass? How can you tell someone to just live when there is so much that has to be done in order to accomplish that? Or what does it mean to just live? Because truthfully speaking we are living everyday. Everyday that we wake up is another day to accomplish your goals and to be better.

Sometimes, life happens and we lose focus but guess what, "shit happens" but it should never stop you from going after your dreams. It is never too late to start my making a list and jotting down ideas.

What is your passion? What would you do for free if that was the option? I remember reading somewhere that figuring out what you should do and how to figure out your passion in life. Is basically, what would you love to do everyday and for free. That is your passion, your gift. Don't get me wrong, we all want to make a good living but how do you turn your passion into a sustainable future for yourself and your family.

Example, for me I love helping and supporting individuals especially those that may feel that their voice is not heard. That's my passion, I find extreme content and satisfaction in helping others and I would do this for free. So, my next step is to determine how to turn my passion into making a way for me and my family in order to sustain our future.

There are so many positions and organizations that's willing to hire advocates. This is why I want to advocate on behalf of people whose voices may be lost in the shuffle. But finding my passion has not been easy. I have worked in healthcare for over ten years. I felt like my life was not going anywhere, I mean getting up everyday going into the office was starting to become redundant to me. I needed a change I needed to find my purpose.

This is why I decided to embark on finding my passion. What would I love to do for free? What would have me looking forward to each and every day?

This was not easy to determine or figure out. I am naturally an introverted person and I tend to be more comfortable in the background or so I thought.

Lately, I have been wanting/needing to step outside of my comfort zone. To experience life and to pursue my passion. I went back to school for advancement but I have not done that so I settled. I am settling and in the end I am not happy but I have learned that sometimes you just need to put yourself out there and be comfortable with that and most importantly realize that people will judge, disapprove or just plain and simply not support you in your endeavors.

That is a part of life and that is something that you cannot let it affect you.

People will talk and disapprove, let them talk. Whatever, it is that you want to do; to accomplish before your life is over, then do it.

Life is too short and it waits for no one so take the bull by the horn and just do it.

This is my why for living because I have spent too many years in the background. Just following others and their life and living precariously through them. What has it gotten me? Nothing, just a boring life and dreams that have not been fulfilled. The time is now to live. I am taking the time to do exactly that now, and I encourage you to do the same.
