Don’t Know What You Want?
Improve These 7 Universal Skills
What does success look like? What do you want from life?
What career do you want? Most of us answer “I don’t know.”
And you know what? There’s nothing wrong with that. And
yet, we think it’s the worst thing in the world if you don’t
know what you want to do in life.
We say: “OMG! I don’t know what I want!” And then we have
a full-on panic attack. Be honest — it happens to all of us.
Especially, when you see that your old college friend just
got married. Or that your co-worker, who started at the
same time as you, just got promoted.
It’s at those moments of weakness when we shine a
spotlight on our own uncertainty about life. One of the
biggest thinking errors that I’ve made was that I thought I
needed to know what I 
exactly
wanted to do with my life.
The truth is that no one knows what they truly want.
Accept The Uncertainty
You could get killed by a cow tomorrow (really happened).
You could lose half of your money on the stock market. Your
property could go up in flames. I don’t have to tell you all
those things. But we must realize that we don’t have the
answers to most things in life. Will you stay healthy? Will the
stock market crash? Will your business continue to prosper?
NO ONE KNOWS! That’s the beauty of life. Eleanor Roosevelt
said it best:
“If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be
without flavor.”

They are right. I cannot. Why do I still read about all kinds of
different topics?

come a time in my life where I will need one
