Hello,
How are you?
I have a question for you.
When are you going to start living your life?
Do you feel you lack that spark that will give meaning to your existence?
Join me if you want us to find the answer together.
I'm going to share my experience with you.
Finding my passion was a task that took me years.
And I'm interested in sharing what I did to save you a bit of time and perhaps frustration.
I'm sure that within a few months of joining the world's workforce,
I began to feel that something was missing.
And no matter how many times I changed jobs and country of residence,
The same feeling of emptiness haunted me.
Every time I changed jobs,
I felt a relief.
Especially if the new one paid more or if the activity was different from what I was used to do.
But just like before,
I ended up feeling the same void.
For a long time I thought that my jobs were not suitable for me.
Most times I switched and received additional benefits,
Even to the point of cutting my workload in half,
And earning more for my time of service.
I worked with very nice people with whom I got to make friends with.
And honestly,
If I tried to see negative aspects of my work,
I didn't really find them.
So why couldn't I live in peace and happiness?
What kind of work would satisfy me?
What company would I need to work for?
In my last job,
I found the key factor.
The problem was not the job,
The salary,
Or the activities.
What I discovered is that I did not like for another person to have the power to decide at what time I get up,
What I have to do for a living,
How I should dress,
When can I rest,
And how many days I can take as vacation.
I definitely thought about quitting many times.
I spent years saving with the idea of starting my own business,
And after thinking about it many times,
No idea caught my eye.
There was no article or piece of information that I could read in which I could find a clue,
Or that spark that had been evading me all my life.
For those reasons,
I had to settle for continuing to work for others,
Because staying at home watching TV or doing nothing was more terrifying.
Honestly,
I don't know if you can identify with me.
I know there are all kinds of people,
But even if we are different,
What I'm going to tell you may be useful.
And first of all,
I understand that there are very few people who can afford the luxury of quitting without affecting their lives.
There are bills to pay,
Children to feed,
Dreams to fulfill that need financing,
Etc.
After asking and asking for a sign,
I had an idea.
Instead of trying to have a radical change in my life,
Like someone who wins the lottery and suddenly transforms their reality,
I started to analyze what I was doing at work and what activities I preferred to do.
I realized that when I had to write an email,
It could take me half an hour or even more.
I checked my writing,
That the grammar and punctuation were correct,
Avoided repeating words by using synonyms,
Checked my phrases to see if they were clear,
Also that it had a definite tone calling for action without being aggressive,
Or if it lacked energy to make things happen.
And in case it was an answer to help someone carry out an activity,
I added screenshots that were symmetrically aligned.
I think you understand where I'm going with this.
I discovered that I love writing.
And what did I do with that discovery?
I continued working in the company and began to write a book.
And while I was writing,
Creativity opened up other options for me.
As noble effect began,
I created a YouTube channel in which at first I would talk about anything.
And after three months,
A video that I made got me followers that weren't friends or family.
The topic of that video was the law of attraction.
Then I bought a semi-professional camera and started taking photos of the moon,
Birds,
Plants,
And any image that captivated my eyes.
And months later,
People from an application named Insight Timer reached out.
I started recording audios for them a year ago,
In September 2019.
And lately,
I upload every week in two languages,
English and Spanish.
I decided to travel and get to know other countries.
I traveled through Chile from north to south.
I also visited Argentina and parts of Peru,
The land where I was born.
I hope to be able to resume my travels soon.
To cut to the chase,
I will tell you that three months after I started writing,
I had to quit my job because my passion was pulling me so hard that I could not stop it.
It has been already a year and nine months without working for anyone,
Since I decided to use my savings to give myself time and enjoy this part of my life,
To discover what makes me happy.
I don't know if at some point I'll need to go back to a normal job.
If it has to be like that,
I will have no regrets,
Because I will live only once,
And I refuse to have a life I don't like.
I no longer feel empty or unsatisfied.
And today,
September the 9th of 2020,
After having more than 50,
000 subscribers and two YouTube channels,
200 plus videos,
Sharing video calls with my subscribers for more than a year,
Uploading many audios on Inside Timer,
And getting closer to 300 followers on the app,
And about to finish writing my first Law of Attraction course,
Which will be available in English and Spanish here on Inside Timer,
I can say it was worth it,
And I'm ready for what's next.
I hope my story helps you to find your passion,
And that you know that you can start little by little,
Since it's no race,
And that it becomes so strong that nothing or no one stops you.
Receive many blessings.

I want to say thank-you for this inspirational meditation. Your story is full of success & hope. The timing is perfect for me to hear you. Because of COVid, I canβt teach in person at both of my jobs. Iβm writing up an introduction to parents to invite them to hire me to teach their children at home. I feel a bit more confident to pursue this idea after hearing your story. Thanks again!!!
