Surrender to Your Nature
The only advice I would give to 21-year-old me.
As I sit here at 28, reflecting on my journey, there’s a profound lesson that stands out.
A piece of wisdom I wish I could have shared with my 21-year-old self.
Surrender to your nature.
It’s a lesson I learned the hard way.
One that I believe can transform your life and career just as it did mine.
Embrace Your True Calling
There was a time when I walked the well-trodden path of an accountant.
Armed with a diploma and degree, I was set.
But here’s the thing…
I was good at math, but my heart wasn’t in it.
The job was mundane, and the days, long and unfulfilling.
I got into accounting because it was the ‘safe’ choice, the logical step for someone skilled in numbers.
But safe doesn’t always mean right.
And with the rise of AI today, is it safe anymore?
The Moment of Realisation
One day, as I was lugging myself to go to the dull office, it hit me.
Why was I, someone who loves hands-on work, innovation, and creativity, crunching numbers all day long in a soulless office?
It didn’t align with who I was at my core.
How would I ever know what it feels like to do fulfilling work?
That realization was my turning point.
Pursuing What Resonates With You
You never know what resonates with you right off the bat.
But all you have to do is experiment.
I’ve tried cooking, writing, drawing, and coding, before finally landing on design.
So here’s my advice.
If you have an eye for the arts, try writing about it.
If you love solving complex problems, give programming a go.
And keep trying until it ignites this curiosity in you.
The key is alignment.
Your work must resonate with your inner nature.
The Journey to True Happiness
You see, happiness in your career comes when you align it with your true nature.
It’s not just about the paycheck or the title.
It’s about feeling that deep sense of fulfilment at the end of the day.
So, stop trying to fit into a mould that’s not yours.
Embrace who you are and let that guide your career choices.
Surrendering to your true self isn’t about giving up; it’s about stepping into your power.
Conclusion
Surrendering to your nature isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.
It’s the path to true fulfilment, success, and happiness.
So take a moment, reflect on what truly makes you tick, and dare to align your career with it.
Remember, when you’re in harmony with your true nature, every day becomes an opportunity to thrive.
And you’ll finally feel like you’re home.
