You are not supposed to “figure it out.”
Trust me, no one has!
If you are anything like me, it always appears like everyone around me has their life figured out, except for me.
But that’s really not the case….
You show me any individual who has it all figured out, and I’ll argue that they don’t!
Many people must have given you the impression that they have it all figured out, but trust me, they probably don’t. You never know what is going on behind the scenes. People often don’t want you to know about their messy-fussy, so they simply won’t tell you anything. Some people will always act like their lives are perfect, like in a movie, even when they aren’t.
We don’t know what it took for someone to get where they are. They could be working so hard, and you would never know how much time and effort were included in it. Maybe it seemed like an easy win, but in actuality, it’s quite the opposite. It’s relatable when people become famous or live in luxury. They have been struggling for 10–15 years, and all of a sudden, they are an overnight success. Nobody noticed the 15 years of hard work they put in.
Fake It Till You Make It—we have all heard this saying, and guess what? 9 out of 10 people are faking it. There is nothing wrong with stepping into a role that you aren’t fully comfortable with and figuring it out as you go further. Sometimes you have to take action and fake it until you get a hold of it. People will start looking at you as superior and asking you questions merely because you took the first action. And what this also means is that people are faking it, and they don’t have all the answers!
Life rarely works out as planned.
When was the last time you planned for the future and it turned out exactly as you planned? I can’t say much about you, but that never happens to me! Every time I think I have things figured out, I don’t. Yes, I do have dreams and see them come true eventually, but the way to get there is never how I thought it would be. Maybe that is a sign that you should stop spending so much time trying to predict your future.
Just have faith in yourself and things will turn out well
You don’t have to know how to do something
If everyone already knew the whole process before starting anything new, they would never start in the first place. Take one step at a time, and once you become familiar with that first step, take another step and again take another step. I promise you, it works!
When I started my own blog, I didn’t know where to begin. You know how I did it? YouTube! As I said, the first step is all you need to know. The fact that you are reading this blog now is proof that the theory of taking one step at a time works!
Your passion will make up for the lack of knowledge
You don’t have to know how to do something; you just have to know why you are doing it.
If you have a passion for doing something, then you have to know these two things: First, that’s your passion, and second, you can do it.
The path is a mystery—when you are passionate about something, your passion will push you forward in tough times if you let it! Focus on why you are pursuing your passion. It helps you not feel like an idiot when you mess up because it’s not about you; it’s about the bigger purpose!
The only way to “figure it out” is by “taking constant action.”
If you want to figure something out, then take consistent action toward your goal. Put one foot on the other and just go! Look at the results and make changes as needed. You can figure out a way to reach your goal; you just won’t be able to pre-plan what is going to happen in between.
Realize it as soon as you can; even if you have everything figured out, you don’t! Anyway, when do things in life go as planned? Rarely or never!
Have a target, Aim for it, and Adjust when your plans go south.
I hope that starting from this moment, you will stop figuring everything out and take action!
Thank you for reading me.
With Love,
