The Road Map of Life

They say if you have passion in something, you do that thing really well and can even excel.

So, how do we get around life doing something we really like? Here are some questions that you can ask yourself.



1. What is my purpose in life?
This is really intriguing. If you'd realise, some people have really different answers than yours, and your reaction to such answers can be, well, like, What? Seriously though, this is a catalyst for knowing what you really want. Think through this question. It doesn't really matter if you have multiple purposes.



2. What can /must I do for myself?
This question aims for you to realise what you are willing and unwilling to do to achieve whatever you have answered in the first question. If you don't have an answer for this one, maybe your answer in the first question isn't really for you. Try digging deeper into yourself, look for passions and talents you have.



3. What can others do for me?
It is impossible for you to do everything yourself. Get help from someone close to you: friends, family, etc.



4. What do I do from now?
Do some research. Match what you want to do with something that appeals you. Remember, the keyword is NOW.


And, once you've done asking yourself the above, it's time to get cracking! Do what you like, and don't care what others say, who cares about 'em anyway.


P.S. I learned an interesting Chinese phrase: 旮旮旯旯儿
