Integrating Life Purpose

[stephenkettley]

I have been contemplating this point for many years, and I still feel like part of me struggles with getting true clarity on it.

Recently, I have begun the pursuit of my purpoes in life coaching and I couldn't be more excited. Before this discovery, from around 8 years ago, I realized that all I wanted to ever do in this reality was produce incredible music - this is something I think about almost every time I isten to music. However, I always had this mental block which knew that from my current age of 27, if I was to pursue a purpose in creating music, in order for me to create a successful purpose out of it from which I could successfully live, would require many hours every single day of learning, for at least the next 8-10 years, which is fine, but i realized that would mean reading less books, watching less of Leo's content, having less time for spiritual practices and less of a lot of the study of self-actualization simply due to the level of work needed to pursue the life purpose, which is something that makes my mind very uncomfortable. This has alwasys been one reason I have opted for a life purpose that is within the realm of self-development (something like what Leo does and something like life coaching etc.) so that I can involve myself heavily in my life purpose and be doing those things at the same time.

So, my main point is that I have held myself from learning music and pursuing it, due to the amount of hours it will take, for a decade, and considering I have a full-time job as a software engineer, I fear that this will diminish my ability to read lots of books, study Leo's content and delve deep into the more advanced levels of epistomology, development, metaphysics, spirituality etc. I also know, one can't switch over to a career in music in a short period such as 3 years as it take much longer to get very good at producing electronic style music.

So when I discovered that my 2 potential life purpose's are in music and coaching/self-development, I opted for coaching because it's far more intimitely connected to all the books and videos and self-actualisation in Leo's videos. So I feel like I won't miss out as much. 

I have missed out on 5 years of making music based on this block.

I hope this makes sense.

@Leo Gura I would really appreciate your wisdom on this point.

Well, you only got finite time in this life. So yeah, you can't do everything you might want.

But if you are young you have time for several careers if you plan your life out well.
