At times we all window shop when it comes to deciding our future. Do you know what you want out of life, a career or a job? There are so many options available to each of us. The challenge is to determine what gets you excited.
Are you pursuing your dream(s) or are you window shopping, trying on different careers and/or jobs to see what fits? When you enter the "store of life" there are many paths or aisles that you can walk down. Each aisle is filled with numerous options. Do you want to travel; go to college; become an entrepreneur; etc.? If you don't know exactly what you are looking for you might end up with a defect, doing something that was not meant to be.
When we window shop, we're just looking. We're not willing to make a commitment because we are unsure of our decision(s). What if we turn down the wrong aisle? Do we take the first opportunity that presents itself even though it's not the right fit or, do we wait for a "sure thing"?
Knowing what you want gives you the confidence to focus on what's important. Being focused allows you to stay on track. Bypass any unnecessary aisles or roadblocks that might lead to a dead end. Don't waste time shopping for things you don't want.
Recall as a child things that made you happy; things that you would enjoy doing over and over again and carried over into your teens/adulthood. Make a list of the things that you are passionate about. Prioritize your list. Focus on the top 2-3 prioritized items. Develop an action plan to ensure that with a solid commitment, you can attain your dreams.
Be happy doing what you enjoy. Life is too short to live life with a window shopping mentality.
