Don't try to figure it out your life

Since we’re born, we are under constant pressure to know what we’re going to do with our lives or where we’re going to spend our time. This pressure often leads to sadness and depression. Many people feel lost and confused about their future.

Life expectancy in a developed country is about 83 years. That’s a very long time, and we don’t want the same things at 16 that we do at 30. So, don’t try to find a passion. Don’t try to figure out what you’re capable of. Don’t set limits, and don’t rush yourself. Focus on doing things you like and explore what you’re curious about.

Don’t try to have your life figured out by 30. Life is a process, and like any process, every step is important. Enjoy the journey, take it easy, and try out lots of new things.

Lastly, and most importantly, take time to rest and reflect on whether you’re doing what you truly enjoy. Take time to fail and keep trying. You don’t want to spend 80 years feeling overwhelmed by what you could do instead of enjoying what you are doing.

Have a nice day!

P.S.: I’m writing this post from Peru, where I am spending 18 days resting and discovering this wonderful place.
