Ep #12: Doing What You Desire
Not pursuing whatever it is that you want to do can lead to feelings of regret and missed opportunities. It is important to take risks and face your fears in order to grow and learn as a person. Life is short, and it is crucial to make the most of it by living it to the fullest. The experience of trying and potentially failing at something can also provide valuable lessons and growth opportunities. So, it's better to at least try and see where it takes you, rather than constantly wondering "what if?” In this episode, I will be discussing why you should do what you have always wanted to do, rather than wait for the perfect moment. When you pursue your desires, you become more engaged and invested in life, leading to a greater sense of purpose and meaning. Listen in as I explain the lessons I have learned through putting myself out there and trying new things, and my advice for making the time required to make your dreams a reality. What You’ll Learn: - The importance of taking time for yourself. - Why it is essential that you go after your dreams and goals. - The number one tip for getting things done. - Why you should do the thing that you want to do. Ideas Worth Sharing: - “The universe needs your gift.” - Melanie Galea - “Spend time learning and perfecting your craft.” - Melanie Galea - “Schedule time to hone your craft.” - Melanie Galea Resources: - Melanie Galea: | | - Shift Disturbers: Never miss an episode by subscribing via , , , , , or by !
