I had to start doing it one day, why not today?
If you read my blog before, you might be well aware of the fact that I have a bachelors degree in music and that I'm currently not that succesfull at making a living out of that.
I work in an organic supermarket in my hometown, which is pretty amazing because I've always been obsessed with food. I've always said that I could be equally as happy in the food business as I could be in the music businees, and that is still an honest truth 'till this day.
There is however a catch to that.
My current job is one where I'm behind the register most of the time. And that's where the catch is. I love food, I love to read and learn about what food does in your body, how you can benefit from it, how nutrients work, the sciency stuff. But also how to prepare food, learning to make new recipies, creating my own recepies, tasting the food. Any food.
And that's not what I'm doing right now. I help people to make healthy choises, yes. I inform them about the health benefits of certain types of food and I can even tell you some little things about what to avoid and what to eat in case of a food related allergy. But I am not making any changes in either the food nor the music business, and that doesn't work well with me.
In come my goals.
I have a strong need to make something of my life and to me that means that in the process of living my life, others can benefit from my talents or knowledge. And I know, I'm only 22, but I need that drive to always keep on going, to always take that next step! And this also causes me to feel instantly frustrated when I feel stuck. Which, as you might've guessed, is now.
I won a talent show, and have some new projects ahead of me, but in the meantime there is just me behind the register.
So, to finally get to the point here, in order to make something meaningful of my life I have to stick to certain goals. First off, deciding what they're going to be because it's pretty hard to focus on an ever changing plan. And second, when I made my goals - stick to them.
I'm very easliy distracted by new things and excitement has been a very good excuse not to finish projects or to persue a goal in a certain way. That has to change. I've done my fair share of soul searching, I've sculpted my body into something that I can love and I've changed my point of view.
If I can do that, I believe I can do whatever the hell I set my mind to.
I'll keep you posted.
Love,
Anouk
