Something More - 02/05/2024

Some days I feel like I am missing out on something more. Like I am supposed to be doing something that changes people's lives. Something where the impact is greater. But anytime I try to find that something greater.. it comes to a dead end. So what do I do? Do I keep looking tirelessly for that "something" more that I think would make me happier... more fulfilled.. more satisfied? Or will I never be satisfied if I keep endlessly looking? How does one enjoy where they are at now and be completely content with it?

Because that right there, I believe that is the key to happiness...

Learning to enjoy where you are at now. Being present in the things going on in your life right at this moment. Gaining more knowledge in the work you are putting in now, finding hobbies that make each day suck less and less. Finding opportunities in the lessons learned. Finding something that is greater than ourselves and running after that ... never looking back.

What if you stayed? What if you committed to your job - stayed, learned more, grew.. and that reward was greater than learning and finding something new. Year after year, you get up- find a new adventure- how exhilarating.. or is it?

That is the thing about those who live with a free spirit. Who love change and thrive in change. Who get nervous when there hasn't been any change. Who freak out when they are completely and utterly.. still. You miss the opportunity to grow roots. To stay and grow deeper connections. To be still... and see that the stillness is actually refreshing and in deed, needed. You don't learn much or become an expert in something you have to switch every year in. What if you took care of that needing to change itch with hobbies rather than your career? What is so wrong in building a life full of routine, consistency, and learning to be okay in still waters?

Here's to learning to be okay with being still, and enjoying the journey of finding my purpose.
