Hi Reader,

Do you feel like everyone else has their lives figured out while you’re still unsure of your purpose and direction?

When I was twenty, I thought thirty-something me would have all my ducks in a row and every little detail of my life in order.

Instead, my thirties are teaching me that unexpected twists and turns are all part of the journey.

Perhaps it’s good that things are never set in stone because it means we’re always evolving and learning more about ourselves as the years go by.

That doesn’t mean the feelings of uncertainty and confusion get any easier to deal with, though.

I think part of the reason why we feel unsure of ourselves is because we stop listening to what we want.

As soon as we fall into the ‘must figure things out’ mentality, we stop listening to ourselves. We listen to what other people tell us we should be doing instead, hoping that they’ll have the answers we desperately seek.

We start comparing our lives to everyone else and push unrealistic goals on ourselves; goals that weren’t even ours to begin with.

If you can relate, pause for a moment and see what the current version of you wants. You know, the version of you in this very moment.

If you’re drawing a blank, I put together 20 journal prompts you can use to come back to yourself and find inner clarity.

The real work? Actually listening to the answers you come up with.
