Your life feels insanely boring. This is how you make it exciting.

Have you ever scrolled on social media and thought: “Wow, I wish MY life was that interesting”? Then you find yourself feeling jealous or frustrated that your life isn’t like theirs. It feels like no matter how hard you try, the odds are simply against you.

How do you solve this?

The answer is simple. Close the social media app and TAKE ACTION.

Do you think that the people you envy are wasting their time scrolling on Tiktok? No. They are focused on living their OWN life, while you’re sitting at home watching theirs. So stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop wasting time, and take the most important step:

Take time to find your passion

I don’t want to hear from you the “but I tried and I can’t find my passion” excuse. Why?

The reason is, I used to say it as well. For years. Not years of simply complaining about it, but of constant struggle, pain, and jealousy. No matter how much I tried it seemed like I was the only person left that had no idea what to do with their life. I’d have done anything to simply enjoy something like all the other people could.

You might be wondering what I did.

The answer is, I did absolutely everything, and when I say that, I mean it. I wrote a list of all the possible hobbies and passions I could think of having and I didn’t stop until I finished trying all of them, in hope that one of them would finally suit me.

At the end of this whole process, I found myself in a very weird state. Even though I’ve done everything I’ve ever planned on doing, even though I’ve even made money out of a lot of my plans, I still didn’t know what my passion was.

This is the moment I was truly about to give up.

I knew I’ve put so much effort in all these years, and it felt like all of it was for nothing.

I knew at that moment that I could simply choose the “easy way” by lying to myself that I don’t need a passion to be happy and that I could just pick a random career field that will give me the money I wanted.

Then, one evening, everything started to make sense.

I was scrolling through TikTok, watching a video about traveling the world. I always looked with envy at all those people traveling for a living. I found it so unfair how people could “live in easy mode”, as my mind said, by doing the most exciting thing on the planet.

I texted my friend saying this exact last sentence, adding the fact that “I wish I had the money to travel just as they do, but it would be absolutely impossible for me to make a living out of it”.

As I was waiting for a reply, a life-changing realization came into my mind. The reason why I’ve tried experiencing “every” passion in the world but still didn’t like any, was that I excluded the things I found “impossible” to do.

I liked the idea of traveling so much that, in my head, the only way to fully enjoy it was to do it full-time, which sounded impossible to me.

What I learned

Sometimes the thing we want to do the most is also the thing we’re most afraid of doing. This is the reason why a lot of people can’t find their passion. They think it’s too unrealistic, so they don’t even consider trying it in the first place, just like me.

We have never lived in a time where possibilities and opportunities were present in a bigger amount than in today’s world. So, take advantage of this privilege and stop wasting your time running away from your dreams.
