As Soon As You Find Yourself You Will Never Starve

It is extremely important for a person to find something they enjoy doing, they’re passionate about. In my opinion, to find themselves is a person’s life purpose because you can’t love life if you are not happy about it.

Here, the word “starve” can be not only in a metaphorical way but in a literal as well. If you have found your “thing” (which happens to not so many people) you will always be able to make money from it which means you will have something to eat. It is in our nature to adapt to the environment and life no matter how hard they can be. But it is not half as interesting as the metaphorical way.

So, there are people who always seek or “starve” for something new. They do this because they still haven’t found themselves that is why they want to try as many things as possible to find the mysterious “it”. Without “it” a person doesn’t have any motivation to keep going or to wake up in the morning.

On the other hand, there are people who just go with the flow, get an average and basic job, a degree they don’t need which is called wasting time. It’s because they don’t know what else to do, they feel this constant pressure coming from their relatives and friends whose lives seem to be in order. But they don’t need this order, they need to find their vocation.

Once you’ve found it, you immerse yourself, your whole being into it. And you can never get bored of it, your life becomes full and you know that now you’re alive.

At the end of the day, life is too short to spend it on something you don’t like, but sometimes you spend the life on seeking something you do like.
