The awesome author and blogger Pam Slim (www.escapefromcubiclenation.com) recently tweeted about a blog post by Glen Allsopp (www.pluginid.com). Glen’s blog post was about how you can decide what you want to do with your life without actually deciding (read it here). In a nutshell, Glen urges us to stop trying to figure out the big picture of our lives and just “follow whatever interests you most”.
Here are the main points from Glen’s steps to “deciding what to do with your life”:
1. Just Do Something – You can’t follow a path you don’t know about, so stop trying to find it. Instead, look at the options you have in life now, and follow one of them. Even if it’s not something you want to do forever, just go down that road. I guarantee that this will open more doors and opportunities for you than doing nothing….
2. Don’t Decide on Anything – By this I simply mean, don’t feel like any option has to be clear cut…. Always be open to following new interests and don’t feel like you have to stick to something….
3. Take the Next Step – Whatever is in your mind after all of this, just do it.
Sounds like sound advice to me.
Thanks, Glen.
