So How Does One Become Fufilled

So from what I have been hearing and reading, the people in life that are the most fulfilled and happy are those that do what they love and have found a way to generate income from that. Now that is easier said than done, but if others have done it it is not impossible. I found a great article See Article Here on a blog I read. It is titled 10 reasons you should never get a job. Now reading it, it makes perfect sense. The problem is finding your niche. The article basically states don't trade your time for money with an employer. It says you should find ways to be able to generate a income even when your not working. Like I said this is easier said than done. The author of the article believes that if you have reasonable intelligence you can do it. I tend to agree but it will be a challenge. There are so many ways today to try and earn your own living. The Internet is filed with ways to to do that from online business to eBay. Most of these ways I'm sure are saturated but if you can develop a niche you can make it.

You will have to be a brave soul to leave what you have come accustomed to doing, going to work but you have to have a plan and some goals. Once you can get these things together you will be on your way. There is nothing worse than setting out to make a change without a plan. Doing this will just leave you chasing dreams and wasting time and money. You will begin to fall for everything and wonder why it is not as advertised. This will lead to feeling discouraged and may cause you to give up on that new life you had envisioned for yourself. Don't start a business just because you are unhappy with your situation now and want a change. You must do what you love to do or you will still be unhappy. You should do this even if you are not getting paid for it right away. Just doing it will bring you some level of happiness. Start out being a volunteer for a local organization or something along those lines. This can be a way to lead yourself to something more involved and possibly a way to generate some income from it. I started coaching youth football in my town. I love football and wanted a way to be around the game other than watching on TV. This is a very rewarding thing for me. I plan on coaching as long as possible. Now right now I do not get paid for it but that's fine because I love to do it. Who knows where it could take me in the future, maybe a paid coaching position. This is just one way that one can find some fulfillment in their life. It is a fulfilling part of my life even if it's a small part for now.

If I knew this is how it would have turned out, I would have stayed in school. That is how I now feel. At this point in my life I now believe that is where I went wrong, that decision put me in survival mode today. That along with the fact that I spent to much of my working life working and not looking for other income streams. I am now middle aged and have some deep concerns about where my life is headed. I do not have a career just a job, therefore I find myself constantly wanting to find another one. I get bored of the work I'm doing. At times I start to feel very unfulfilled. Most times I just want more out of life and I know just working at a job is not going to do it. I feel writing about it will help me and I hope it will help others. My goal for this blog is to have a network of people who have similar feelings to get some ideas flowing so we can get a more productive feeling from life. So as I sit here, I should be working but have decided to start this blog. I am working as an consultant or a glorified temp as I call myself. This job could end at any point and time my client decides. This really keeps my mind going as I feel so dependant on others and not enough on my self. I feel this blog will be a way to keep my mind active and open. I no longer want to feel complacent in my life. I need to create and feel a sense of urgency, this will lead me to action. I am on a mission to find out how others are doing, how they have created a better life for themself and I plan on modeling those people. I would love to hear back from readers who want to share there experience. I want to read about those who have made a lasting change or those who are in that process. Share some of the ways and plans of action being used. Let us know what has worked and what has not.
