Chapters

You don't know what you're doing. All your life, you followed what others said you should do. Family, friends, society. This is a hard truth. Please keep scrolling. If you're not ready to hear this. It gets deep at the end. Maybe you've made it, got the job settled. But now you feel empty. You've never really done anything for you. Worse, it's been so long, you don't know who you are, what you want. You lack a feeling of identity. Doing the same thing over and over. Like you're on a boat, drifting. Wherever the wind blows you go. You don't know where to go. You take up offers from friends, family, colleagues, boss. They dictate your life. You want to be a leader in your life. But the truth, you're not there. You can change this, but it will take work to go on. A discovery phase. We have not been prepared for this. It was never in anyone's interest to tell us. This was a reality I encountered. It was hard and often painful to think about. Lying in bed, nowhere to turn. No one is coming. You have to pick yourself up and start your journey. For this is only the beginning.
