When you aren’t sure about what you should be doing with your life, it can feel like you are in a free fall. In the beginning, it can be exciting to go through life without a plan or purpose. Many romantic tales have been spun around the vagabond life. Just remember that these stories are written by people who disciplined themselves not just enough to put pen to paper, but enough to sell their stories for publication.

Being the storyteller of your own life means knowing what your calling is, what you want to do more than everything else in the world and working toward it. It means waking up every morning saying, ‘I have got the best job in the world. I absolutely love what I do.’ If you can say that, everything else in your life story will fall into place.

Most of us struggle for a while before we find our niche. That is okay. Enjoy the struggle. Consider it a voyage of discovery with a treasure at the end. Having a Hero’s Journey is a wonderful thing.
