An optimistic challenge

So you want to do something you really want to do.

Something you really want to do.

Not what someone else says you should do with your life.

"You must study hard, go to a top university, graduate with First Class, get a good job at a Fortune 500 firm and this and that." No, I don’t.

Don’t let anyone hold you up from doing what you want to do from the bottom of your heart. 

Of course respect the inevitable constraints that are out of your control and any cultural and family values, beliefs but do seek advice and work on alternative options.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

There must be a way for you to fulfill your dreams.

Set a deadline for your dream, make it a goal and so that you can achieve it. If you don’t do that, a dream will always be a dream.

If you really want to do something, do it.

If you really want to do something, you will be able to make it happen no matter what.

Do it soon if you can’t do it right now.

Do not wait.

"But I can always do that later."

Maybe not.

"Those things are always gonna be there, I will visit next year."

Maybe not.

We don't know what can happen next year, next month, next week, tomorrow, not even the next minute.

Life is complicated, fragile, challenging, unfair, unpredictable. We just don't know.

The only way to find out what's ahead of us is to live on.

Live your dreams the best way you can.

Live your life to its very full.

Waste no time in activities with low or no returns.

Keep in touch with family, friends and contacts. Go out and socialise. Talk to people.

Exercise. Jogging, running, stretching, fast walking, dancing, going to the gym. Whatever. Something is better than nothing. Keep yourself active.

Try new things. Learn about other cultures. Pick up a new language. Get trained.

Enjoy arts. Read a book. Watch a movie. Write a letter. Sing a song.

Read the news. Know what’s happening out there.

Go travel. Go see the world with your very own eyes. Go explore while you can.

Travel by yourself. Spend more time with yourself. Discover more about the real you.

If you don’t have someone to travel with, go by yourself. Why not? You will meet amazing people from all walks of life along the way. Life will surprise you.

Keep aside time and space for yourself.

Get crystal clear about what you want to do with your life from deep inside your soul.

Question yourself.

What keeps you awake at night?

What motivates you to move on?

What makes you happy?

What cheers you up?

What brings a smile on your face?

What do you enjoy doing?

Do you want to make a difference? In what way?

How do you make a positive impact to your world?

What do you have to accomplish by the end of your life?

What is the purpose of your life?

What is your life mission?

So what do you really want to do?
