Working at every job other than doing what you love will seem like work, right? Do you ever feel like you get so close to your goal that you could almost reach out and grab it but it’s like there’s a barrier that you can’t seem to break through?
Like you are almost there but you’re still far away unless you can figure out how to climb that darn wall. That’s how I feel sometimes lately because all I want to do is to write, or rather do all the many things that come with being an author as a whole. Don’t get me wrong, I have a decent work from home job now that I like but I cannot wait to do my dream job, that won’t feel like a job at all.
Each day I wake up, get ready for the day, go into my office and work at a computer screen making progress towards someone else’s goals. It keeps me occupied enough through the day so not there’s not always much time to think of anything else, let alone writing as much as I would like.
It feels like I’m living a double life sometimes. My work life (tired, stressed, driven to complete my daily tasks and be professional while I do) and My author life (my normal everyday home life stuff fits in with my Author life because that who I really am). Now I understand that you can’t always have your dream job but I’m working on it. In reality YOU choose your life.
So if you want to do what you love you need to make strides to reach that goal. Whether I will get to solely work as an author someday or not doesn’t mean I didn’t succeed. I can and may have to do both what I love and what I am professionally good at. But making time to do what I love is key because I still have faith that it will lead to more than what it is now.
All you can do is keep trying. Trying to improve your life and yourself everyday. With multiple rejection letters from agents and counting I will keep pressing on because I will keep having faith in myself to get to where I want to be with my writing. My stories are meant to be shared with the world and they will be.
If you are feeling the same way with any aspect of your life at the moment where you are going through tough obstacles, rest assured they will pass and you will be stronger than before you overcame them.
