Whoever You Are, Find Whatever You’re Into

Whoever you are, find whatever you’re into!

Facebook just showed me that I’ve posted this as my status back in 2016. That’s 8 years ago.

I believed in this piece of life advice then, and I believe in it even more today, after living by it religiously. This made me feel so good.

It was a reminder that I’m on the right path, and what was just a piece of advice I got from other people back in the days, is what I can give to everyone today, after having followed that myself. So, this inspired me to talk about it on the blog.

It has to do with finding your passion and turning it into your career, and most people say they want this, sure.

Some of them don’t believe it can be profitable, so don’t even try. Others are actually more comfortable with their day job, even if they hate it, and with complaining about it, than with the discomfort you need to overcome to get in business, and the emotional challenges that come with staying in business, no matter what.

Some of those people who say they want to find their passion, don’t actually invest the time it takes to define it, don’t try different things to see what feels good, and what their talents are, so they don’t see any progress with this.

Others have limiting beliefs, such as thinking they are not worthy of living a good life, and getting paid to do what they love, or that it’s too good to be true, or that only the lucky few out there get to do that, but for some reason, not them.

Because of those beliefs, they don’t take the action necessary to make change happen.

Some, unfortunately, really, really want to find their passion, and monetize it, but they’re in a terrible position in life, and have so many problems to deal with, or live in a third world country, and they don’t even have the time or privilege to think about that and do something about it.

But let’s get back to the people who have it easy, and yet don’t really find what it is they love the most, and never see where it can take them.

As I said, some of them will stay this way forever. It can become your norm to feel dissatisfied with your current reality, and yet to be told by everyone around you that this is real life, and everything else is an illusion.

Just a heads up though, you’re not in the right room for growth, or to start a business.

But I wasn’t either, so I ignored everyone in my real life 10 years ago, I created a vision in my head that was more powerful than my current reality back then, and I found inspiration and mentors online. People who were doing what I aspired to do, people who were the proof I needed that this is indeed possible, and not crazy at all.

They were usually Americans, they had already seen some success, they were location independent, they were growing their business. But they started from nothing, and they shared their story in such an authentic way, without ego involved, because I believe there is no place for ego in business. And I could resonate.

They didn’t make me feel that they are more than me, or that I’m in any way less skilled than them.

No, they reminded me that if it’s possible for them, it’s possible for me too. And that is one of the main reasons behind the content I create these days. I want to show you the same.

That’s why I share my numbers. That’s why I share my mistakes. That’s why my story is outlined on the About page of my website.

It really is possible for you too.

There is also one specific type of people, though. The ones who can’t stop thinking about their passion, or about finding it if they haven’t already, and about turning it into something more.

Usually, that something more includes love for the work they do, impact (they will help others in some way) and earning potential, meaning that you want to not just get paid for it, but make a living off of it, and even achieve the kind of financial freedom that no job can ever give you.

To these people, I’d say go for it. Go for it with all you got.

If you fall asleep and wake up thinking about that, if after so many years of not having achieved it, it’s still a deep desire in your heart, if you can’t get rid of the feeling that there is more to life, that there are better things you could be doing with your time, that you are nowhere near using your full potential, then something bigger and wonderful is indeed waiting for you.

And I believe that with such a strong desire for it, you’re meant to have it in this lifetime.

The desire for that is stronger than the lack of understanding coming from others, which you’re ultimately going to experience on this journey. It’s stronger than the security a day job provides, and it’s stronger than any offer anyone can ever make you for a comfortable or even luxurious life.

Because you still won’t be satisfied and your passion will be waiting for you. Chances are you already know you’ll have regrets at the end of your life if you don’t devote yourself to it, if you don’t at least find it and make time for it, even if it doesn’t become profitable.

My advice for you is: whoever you are, find whatever you’re into.

The rest will follow naturally. Once you start devoting time and energy to your passion, unbelievable changes will begin happening in your life.

You will feel like a whole new person and new opportunities will come from places you’ve never considered before. And if you have found what you’re into, but have been trying for years to turn it into a business and haven’t succeeded, please don’t give up. You owe it to yourself and to the world to keep going.

There is a bigger plan and there are reasons why you haven’t yet monetized it.

You don’t know them yet, you only know why it hasn’t happened yet once it actually happens. You look back and say to yourself: ‘Ah, yes, I see now why I needed to overcome that challenge, to develop a stronger mindset to handle what my life looks like now, and the level of responsibility a business requires. I see now why that stage of my life needed to end first so I can be mentally ready for a business. I see why it had to happen exactly after having a second kid or after being fired from my job or after losing a parent or else.’

You don’t know the order of things, so we don’t need to interfere with the natural flow of events.

We just need to follow the intuitive nudges and take inspired action when the timing feels right.

I believe with every cell of my body that you can be anyone you want to be in this life. I feel this deeply and I act from that belief every single day.

But I worked on this. I wasn’t born thinking that. In fact, I spent the first two decades of my life not believing it.

I was told by my dad that I’ll become nothing and no one. I come from a country with a bad economy, where not many people think of starting an online business, becoming location independent and relocating to any place in the world they feel like.

I’ve been told by others around me back then that I can’t have all the freedom I want, that I can’t have it all, that I’ll have to follow the standard career trajectory and have my life under control.

If I went for this, I would go against my soul’s path and I would never forgive myself.

So I embraced uncertainty, stopped relying on anyone else but myself (by the way, I’m not saying this is a good thing. It’s just what worked for me at the time.) Then I hustled for two years at home to start an online business, which was first a hobby.
