Refocus

We all have different goals at different age groups, some short-term, some long-term & some that we are not sure about but we do have them too. And this third category of the goals plays a big role in our day to day activities. Hence we need to identify what exactly are these subconscious goals that are not letting us be happy about the other achievements in life.

At the age of 10, many of us had goals or ambitions of being a pilot because we wanted to fly the plane or being a doctor because we liked the doctor's role we played in school plays & yes, most of us wanted to be an actor because it seemed so cool & you can literally be anyone as an actor. All these goals or the dreams faded because we grew up and were introduced to reality. Some of us really went on to pursue a career as a pilot, a doctor or an actor. Well, lucky are those who could really focus on what their heart said at a young age and took the necessary actions to achieve these goals. But there are many who left out & started dreaming differently.

The next thing that started to decide our goals was our education. What we chose to study after school, continuously asked so many questions like; Am I in the right field of education? Am I really willing to be what I am studying for? Am I going to earn enough by pursuing a career in this field? This, in turn, caused us to get diverted towards other fields of education & their positives and caused a lack of concentration on what we had in hand and what we were trying to pursue. Some realized that they should focus on what they have & excel in it but some had to change their career paths or settle for the less satisfying jobs.

Finally comes the stage of work. We choose careers on the basis of our education or interests. Those who knew their interests found the job of their choice or are working for themselves as entrepreneurs. But there are those who are working for someone else & earning just enough to feed their family. These are the ones who need to refocus on what exactly is expected out of them by themselves. You might have hobbies that you left out because you were too busy in the job. You might have had great business ideas but couldn't execute because you thought to leave a job is being at risk. But you must ask yourself just one question; Am I really going to be satisfied all my life doing the things I am doing now for a living? And the answer most certainly will be 'NO'. Gather all the courage you have and refocus. Refocus on the career you wish to pursue. Refocus on the hobby that keeps you happy. Refocus on the little world of your own that keeps you away from all the worries of life. Do something that makes you feel proud of yourself. Do something that makes you feel just right about everything you are up to.   

I know its easier said than done but yes, it is important to refocus & figure out what exactly do we want from ourselves. Know your subconscious. You might want to grab a canvas and a paint brush & start painting beautiful portraits or want to start your own website & start selling something. You might want to study an online course and excel a steady career in it or learn a foreign language and try and get a job in your desired country. Intuitions are real & working as per them is what we need to do. It's never too late to start, especially when you know what needs to be done.
