PASSIONS CALLINGS & PURPOSES IN LIFE

Did I think 15 years ago that this is what I would be doing with my life? Nope. Back then I was thinking I was going to be a primary/elementary teacher. I was going to finish high school, go to university, get those courses done to enter and then teach. I love learning new things and sharing it with others. It's a passion I've ALWAYS had within me. But... I never did become an elementary school teacher, mind you I have stood in front of a class of elementary school children and taught a topic funny enough. 

I decided to follow in my sisters footsteps and enter the medical field. It wasn't something that appealed to me at the time but I always looked up to my sister and thought, she must know this is a good path if she's doing it! The thing is, I'm always teaching. In my training we did so many presentations in front of different groups of people big and small. I've taught hand-washing, I've "talked about sex ba-by" to high school students, and I've taught to new and expecting moms ways to relieve pain and keep active and healthy, and lastly seniors, topics of how to keep enjoying their lives and take care of themselves. 

Fast forward a few years, I am now working as a Beachbody Coach, where I DAILY teach others to love themselves, respect themselves and take care of themselves holistically. 

My point in all this....... When it comes to what you're "doing" with your life, and whether or not it was your "calling" and all that... Don't worry about it. Don't get caught up in all that. 

Be a good person, a kind person, and help others. And this life is a journey!!!! Enjoy it. You may have  many "callings" and "purposes" in life. Why just one? Too many people look at others and compare themselves to THEM instead of looking at themselves and thinking about what THEY want.  We worry too much about what other people think. 

"When it comes to their life calling people often worry: 

1️⃣ That their chosen calling isn't "good enough". 

2️⃣ That they shouldn't ever, ever, ever change their mind once they've chosen one. 

3️⃣ That they haven't found a real purpose. "

👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 That's crap! It's YOUR life!! 

If there's something you need to change then do it!!! We often just go through the day-to-day motions and don't think. Life is short. Are you loving how you're living it and spending time with those you love? 

Now im not saying that changing careers is necessary or moving to another city although you may want that. It may just mean tweaking your day  a little to incorporate things you love or people you love or adding in a hobby. 

For me, it was about finding balance in my life between work, family/friends, and hobbies. Balance makes me happy.
