Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:07:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jen http://sparkleandglitter.co.uk/2009/12/i-want-to-do-everything/comment-page-1/#comment-8499 Jen Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:19:20 +0000 http://sparkleandglitter.co.uk/?p=1475#comment-8499 I actually found this site by asking Google how I fit everything I want to do into my life. Reading your peice has made me realise I'm not the only one with this jumble of crazy thoughts in my head...although my ideas are generally for hobbies or small business ideas rather than career choices. I'm definitely going to have a nose at the book that Ellecubed reccomended because I have not figured out how I'm going to fit everything in. I basically want to learn EVERYTHING and read EVERY book but the more I think about what I want to do the less I actually get done. There must be a way! I refuse to believe I cannot get everything I want from my life. I actually found this site by asking Google how I fit everything I want to do into my life.

I'm exactly the same and at the age of 25 and totally stuck as to what to do for the best and how to achieve my dreams I have now, finally, got round to buying Barbara Shers book. Luckily all my interests tie into my 'ideal', my world view but I just need to work out how I exactly I create my perfect life whilst at the same time fulfill my souls purpose in life. But I have no answers for you I'm afraid. Sometimes I get so frustrated at my inability to just do something, anything!, towards achieving my dreams instaed of being paralised with fear and indecision.

I tihnk my way of solving it is to work in a job which, while not everyone's cup of tea, I enjoy and means I have enough money to do the other things I enjoy as hobbies in my spare time. For some people I know this is a bit of a boring choice, but it's the best way I can compromise for myself and try and get everything I want. Like you say if you try and take everything on at once you often end up failing, but that doesn't mean you have to give up on all your other dreams forever! I definitely know this problem!

I also felt like I should be doing something "proper " with my life! I was so paralysed with indecision I ended up doing nothing much and after university I was miserable for years! Now I'm a full time blogger, it might not be a "proper" job, but I'm happy, just a shame it took me 6 years to find out and relax about it! I felt this way for years.

While it's frustrating to be chasing so many butterflies, I do remind myself from time to time that it's amazing I have so many butterflies to chase, and to stop and appreciate the whole before I go back to finding out which one I want to chase. But I remember, also, the adage about the man who starved trying to decide between two feasts. I have to pick -something- with which to move forward, and there's nothing that says I can't come back and change my mind later, or come back for seconds. :) This is definitely a “problem” I have.

I always thought that this was a problem until I stumbled on the book Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher. This book made me realize that far from being a flaw, my many interests made me a more well rounded person. It is really worth the read.
