Ulric on Can we change our lives?
I believe we can change our lives.
Six months ago I was not happy. I was struggling at my job and saw no future in it. I was basically working to retire out of the job. Then came something new,
I was playing around with making a game of learning Hawaiian. The challenge is that few people actually speak the language and it is not related to any other languages. In my pursuit I met a couple and I mentioned what I was doing and the wife said she knew the top man in gamification and his name is Yu-Kai Chou.
I checked him on the internet and bought the kindle version of his book. It was a slow start but once I started I saw the possibilities. Not just in teaching Hawaiian but improving my life in general.
It is not about playing all day, instead it is about looking at the world in way to make it fun. I found a greater purpose and this was so awesome that I no longer dreaded work. Though nothing changed at work, I just now have a purpose greater than what work offered. Now, I am crafting my life on my terms and someday I will do things I love and enjoy life, while still working a 9 to 5 job.
What it comes down to is finding who or what you want to be. Don’t worry you can always change your ideas as you are in control. Tweaking the skills you have or learn new skills. The main thing is everyday do something that matter for your epic life. Crafting is putting in a little work each and everyday.
There was a lot I am learning and everyday brings me closer to what I want to be. This is an adventure and this is exciting.
