Follow Your Interests

The question most of us ask ourselves is what should we do...

This sounds polite, maybe even smart, but it's one removed.

Should means you're trying to fit yourself into a concept.

And a concept is just thoughts and beliefs in your mind, that often weren't even originated by you.

If you let these concepts lead you, over your own opinions, ideas, and internal drivers you will end up a watered down, weaker version of yourself. We'll say you are partially yourself.

Moments of your true nature shining through, but not living there if you're being led by mind made "shoulds"...

Everyone reading this is thinking well of course, while simultaneously not able to live in alignment with the concept (statistically speaking)

It's not easy to say fuck it to the concepts and shoulds... your parents, society, friends, maybe are all good people.

So you rationalize, minimize, reframe, distort to hide the situation from yourself.

That your life is mediocre because you are doing what you think you should, rather than what you want.

Your wants are tied to the spiritual essence of who you are.

You don't know why you want what you want, but you want it.

And wants are unique.

You aren't making your heart beat, you aren't making your hair grow, and you aren't deciding what you want.

The energy required for greatness doesn't work at a cross purpose against your wants and interests.

It is hidden inside of them, by following them.

Following your interests is the path to your maximum energy, output, and impact.

Does this mean you like every element? No, not unless you are very lucky.

Example: love business, not crazy about niche, still good business, still in alignment with wants, some boring stuff. Nets ok good.

S tier example: love business, love the product / business you're in and who it serves, ultra alignment, still some boring stuff, but nets out great.

Bottom line is find and work on something you are interested in.

It is where the energy that will move you to greater levels exists, how you persist through challenge, and to be honest...

How you get the universe, god, infinite intelligence, spirit, whatever you want to call it.

To help.
