Forty two - hundred. A comparably small number, when you think about it... But it’s not just some random number I throw at you here. And we’re not talking about money.
This... This is your life. Your whole life in weeks. Well, assuming you make it to 80 years of age...
This... is 4,200 weeks, your entire lifetime... not that much, is it?
This first quarter here, roughly, is your childhood and education. Let’s remove it, it’s gone.
Next, we have this chunk of roughly four decades. That’s your working life, your career. One day, all those weeks of your life will be in the past.
What remains is this tiny portion here... That’s your retirement. The time we’re all supposed to finally enjoy life and do what we want. A measly roughly 850 weeks left, which are by no means guaranteed.
By the time we have time to do what we always wanted to do in life, we’re too old to actually do it.
Those are your weeks. Maybe a bit more, maybe less. But they certainly are finite... and they’re all you’ve got.
So... which week are you in?
Get Out of the System
Now, most people live their lives like that. Following the ‘norm’... school, study, work, retire, die.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that lifestyle, don’t get me wrong! I myself have spent a large part of my life following ‘the system’.
If you’re happy with the way your life is going, this channel may not be for you.
But... if you want to change your life and start a new chapter... welcome.
Believe in Yourself
Whatever your personal reason may be... Maybe you’re unhappy and feel stuck in the never-ending rat race of working for someone else’s dream...
Maybe it’s that you don’t have enough time for yourself or your family... or not enough money to live the life you desire...
I get it, the mere thought of giving up a stable life with routine and comfort is very scary! We all have our excuses why now is not the time for change. But if not now, when then?
We cannot allow ourselves to listen to our inner doubts forever. Yes, we’re all guilty of that.
I’m an introvert, an overthinking perfectionist, a non-native English speaker... These and many other things have prevented me for years from building the life I want.
Yet here I am. It took me far too long to get here, but it’s never too late to start. For all of us - wherever we are in those finite weeks that we have...
Was I absolutely terrified of putting myself out here for everyone to see? Yes. Yes, I was... and still am to some degree.
Did people around me tell me I was crazy for leaving my well-paid career for some pipe dream? Throwing my life, all my achievements of two decades away for something that might never happen? Risking to lose everything? Yes. Yes, they did...
And did that get to me? More than I wish it had...
But, here’s the thing... we must not let our fear of being judged by others keep us from the life we want. It’s easier said than done, I know...
We have to ignore all the doubters... be they strangers, friends, or family... because nobody else can see your big vision that’s in your mind.
You see it and you want it. Never, let anyone discourage you from going for it. Don’t wait, make it come true.
Take the Leap
I’ve been there. I know how it feels and what serious impact these doubts and fears can have on our lives.
But somehow, I made it out... pushed through and didn’t give up.
I took the leap, left what’s still considered the ‘societal norm’, and started my own online business.
Was it easy? No.
Am I a millionaire yet? No.
Has my life become more fulfilling? Clear, unequivocal yes.
I... No, we... have to stop comparing ourselves to others... to people who already are where we want to be or have what we want to have...
Only compare yourself to where you were a week ago. Step by step you move closer to your vision. Do not give up.
