At What Age Did You Know What You Wanted To Do In Life?

Personally, I knew what I wanted to do with my life at the age of 6, 10, 15, 19, 20, and 21.

At age 6 I knew I wanted to be an astronaut. At 10 a Zookeeper and at 15 a Marine Biologist. At 19 I knew I wanted to turn my life into a successful architecture career, at 20 I wanted to help people through Psychology and at 21 I wanted to be a Life coach.

In each of these moments I knew fully well that that was what I wanted to do with my life and I was committed.

I think many people misunderstand this concept of “figuring out what to do with life.”

It’s never an ultimatum, but always subject to change.

Today I want to still help people the best way I can as a life coach, but I am fully aware that may not be where I will be in 10 years down the line.

In 10 years I may be a teacher, architect, a zookeeper, psychologist or even a CEO; who knows?

But that does not mean I am not trying my absolute best at what I am doing right now.

I think many people want to find ‘The Thing’ in order to allow themselves to truly invest into it and truly feel like they are creating meaning with their life.
