You are exactly where you're supposed to be.
Lately I have been feeling the pressure of being a twenty-something and wanting to have it all figured out RIGHT NOW. I have also been feeling the anxiousness that comes from working in a job you know isn't your forever job. Sometimes I get so carried away with where I want to be in a year from now that I lose focus of where I am right now.
Recently Ben Fanning did a guest post on the Live Your Legend blog and it was phenomenal. The focus of the post was how to live your legend without ever quitting your day job. So many of his points resonated with me and I highly recommend you check it out.Â
Fanning's post helped me think through everything I am gaining by working at my current job. Then I read Secret 6 of Paul Angone's book 101 Secrets For Your Twenties which gave me good perspective on where our mindset should be during times of life when we are preparing for the next move. As Angone puts it, we must:
Learn. Grow. Then Go.
I love that. We are always exactly where we're supposed to be. It is important to actively envision where we want to be and take the appropriate steps to getting there, but the timing of when we act on these things is equally important.
There is something to be learned from every moment. Every moment helps us grow. And when we are finished with all that moment has to give us we go.Â
