Many times we do well in life by simply focusing on doing what we love. Then, one day what once made us happy no longer does. We continue to try to make it work anyway, but the effort is fruitless. It just does not bring us the joy and happiness it once did.
Have A Talk with Yourself
First, take a break! Ask yourself what about what you are doing does not work anymore. Take a long look.
Ask yourself:
- Is it the people?
- Are you just tired of the same thing?
- Has the economy changed?
Stimulate Creativity
Take a break from what you are doing. To find what makes you happy, do something that you really enjoy. This could be anything including cooking, hiking, gardening, walking, running, dancing, or just picking up some flowers. When you take the time to enjoy life, you get into your creative space. It is really the way to find “you” again.
Re-Prioritize
Taking a break allows you to think of what you don’t want to do and also what you DO want to do. It is a miraculous thing to change your activities. Many times, we get into a “stuck” place and don’t know why. Taking a break to do something we love always helps to get us “unstuck.”
My Story
For some time I was in that space. I LOVED helping people. I have helped people all my life. For many years, I had a school and a dance school to teach children self-esteem. I loved it! Then, one day, I realized I wanted to do more. I did not know why I was feeling stuck, so I moved away from everything and everyone and just danced alone in my studio for hours. Dancing was one of the things I loved doing. When I woke up the next day, I realized I wanted to do something new. So, I changed gears. I sold my school, stopped teaching dance, and started working to empower women. That way I would reach MORE children!
Formal classroom education
Try Again
After many years of empowering women from all around the world, I had that stuck feeling again! It was time for something new. This time, I took time off and just walked and enjoyed the views. It was good for my health to also allow my mind to wander.
And Again – Success!
I began to work with women leaders who were empowering underprivileged communities and developing nations. It was time for something bigger and better.
Working to improve schools and overcome poverty
And Again
Now, not only am I working with women, but also men to make a bigger impact in society. Empowering communities includes children and that, my friends, is everyone in the world!
