Get Unstuck in 2015

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

There comes a point in our life when we realize that we are meant for something bigger on this planet. Unfortunately, discovering what we really want and how to get it is one of the most challenging, stressful and frustrating process of our entire life. But, in the end, it’s what define who we are and what we stand for.

Here are 3 ways for living a more meaningful and fulfilled life, even if you are struggling towards your dream life:

1. Jump in the driver’s seat and change direction

I’ve learned that it’s important to be able to step outside the comfort zone and be challenged with something we are not familiar to. It may be awkward and uncomfortable, but that’s what happens when you try something new and make new decisions for yourself. New stuff is scary. That’s why you should take action, be yourself and trust that your intuition will guide you wherever you need to be. Sometimes you may misinterpret it, but it’s fun following it and seeing what happens next. We are all responsible for our life and if you’re not happy with your life, you are the only one that can start changing it.

2. Be open minded

When you finally step out of your comfort zone you will find out some talents and abilities you have that you didn’t know you had. They may not come in the form you think, so be open-minded. Often, we judge a book by its cover and that’s what exactly we do with many situations we face to. Be open to everything, because you never know where it may lead.

3. Stop fighting life

Sometimes you may feel like: “I can see the mountain top but I’m currently in the valley”. You’re doing your best. You are working so hard, but nothing seems to be happening. Then you start to doubt about yourself, your goals and your ambitions.

Sometimes you might not know what to do, where to go and how to stay motivated and inspired, but you must deeply acknowledge that life has its own schedule.

What I learned from my past experiences is that feeling unfilled and unhappy is one of life’s most powerful lessons. It can help you to recognize that you are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enrich the world with your talents and gifts. And feeling unfilled is part of the process, because positive changes come with setbacks, false starts, and failures. They come from moving out of your comfort zone and taking risks.
