Week Five
This week we watched a video with Randy Komisar. He taught that we should worry less about a final goal, but what direction we are going, and then think "What opportunities are there right in front of me, or how can I make opportunities?
He also said, "The hardest thing in life is chosing amongst right answers. figure out how you really feel about them, and then to it." He said that with 9 doors closed in life, 10 just opened. He also explained, "my career makes no sense at all in the windshield but in the rearview mirror."
I thought this was all good advice. I want to enjoy life and find my way to a succesful place.
Note's on the hero's journey from Jeff Sandefer's talk:
The hero's journey is all about you but not about you at all
Learn to live a life of meaning
Ask five people what you do better than anyone in the world, ask for specifics.
Think of the last time you lost track of time while doing.
Write a letter to yourself to not give into temptation
God never believes he is you
Think of someone in your life who you are truly grateful for but have never thanked. Then write a one-paged letter expressing your gratitude. Find them and read it to them.
People who believe they will be lucky turn out luckier.
At the end of your life you will realize you were worried about the wrong things.
Being rich is about spending less than your make.
Your greatest horror in life isn't failure but waking up 60 years old and realizing you've wasted your life.
A wise person does it once. A fool does it last. Both do the same thing at different times.
If you don't start now, then when?
My passions:
Home renovations and historical architectural restorations
Song writing, piano and voice
Making visual presentations, posters, powerpoints, models etc.
Learning foreign languages
Designing clothes/fabric
Overall this week I am pondering about myself. I am trying to find what makes me happy. Honestly, I struggle a little bit with depression. This creates an obstacle because it keeps me from doing what makes me happy. There is something weird about when I'm depressed, I avoid everything and everyone that brings me joy. This leaves me confused about what I love, because I don't practice what I love and therefore don't develop the skills I need to be really good at it.
