How To Start Living The Life You Really Want
Embracing change, learning to flow
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said today.—‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’—Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
When you get to a point in life where you feel this way, remind yourself that you should be happy that you feel dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction means you’re ready for something new. It means that life is about to get a lot more interesting. The feeling of dissatisfaction is meant to be a driving force, urging you to evolve, to change for the better. Becoming aware of that feeling is the first step to any meaningful change in your life.
So be thankful for your current dissatisfaction. Embrace it and start to question aspects of your current life so that you can find the root of the dissatisfaction. Use the negative feelings as motivation to dream up what you really want in your life, and start finding ways to get it.
Life is about growth and change. It’s about reinventing yourself over and over again as you learn more about who you are and who you want to be. It’s not unusual and though it can be intimidating, it’s nothing to be afraid of.
