It didn't take long for the panic to set in. It's 2018, I'm 29 and what have I done with my life? At different stages of our lives, this question pops up to haunt us, over-shadowing any successes we have achieved! It is ridiculously easy to feel as if life is going nowhere or that you are stuck doing the same thing over and over again. Isn't that the definition of insanity?
Our characters and personalities are multifaceted. In different situations, we are different people, yet are still the same person. How do we be who we are when our job roles only allow us to live out one side of ourselves. For me, I found myself committed to teaching 24/7, which wasn't bad, but I felt limited. Other passions that I had were dying. There are many more sides to me, but it is not always possible for me to live that out in all situations - it's just not possible. So what do we do?
I realise that it is important to live a life outside of work. In 2018, let's make sure that we have a life! Pick up a new hobby. Sign up to a new course. Go for regular walks. Do life differently and take risks. Live a life you want to enjoy. For me it looks like writing regularly, exercising regularly and doing different social activities. What will your life look like this year?
