【ZA英语角】本周六话题“The Life You Want”（BONUS：混血小美女Emily为大家分享加拿大生活~）
Hey guys, welcome back to ZAEnglish Corner!
This week we are going to talk about 'The Life You Want' or 'To Create the Life You Want'.
Personally, I favor the latter.
But in order to find a path, you seriously gotta do a bunch of stuff. And there is this one thing that always tops your priority list, which I believe is to figure out exactly what you want.
The key here is to realize that this is ultimately up to you. It's not something anybody else can impose on you, or something you should look to anybody else to understand. The reality is that until this comes from a true and genuine and deep place of understanding, you're not going to believe it, and you're not going to live it out. So here, to get you started, are several ways to help you figure out what you're "meant" to do.
Make A List Of What Your Natural Abilities Are
You can be as abstract as you are literal and practical. Or you're good at helping or healing or painting or writing or being a student. Let yourself fully acknowledge all the things you're good at, even if they don't immediately seem transmutable into a "career."
Make A List Of What Your Natural Interests Are
Do you like math? Art? Human beings? Social interactions? Psychology? All of these things comprise who you are; they're not random details, they're symbolic and important. And pieced together, they create patterns that point to larger truths.
See Where The First Two Overlap
You need to have interest, ability, dedication, and drive. If any of those aspects aren't present, you probably aren't going to actually be able to execute your dream life the way you want to. There's "luck" (I don't personally believe in that, but some do), there's chance, there's possibility, but when those are too shaky for you to rest your future on, rely on what you can control: what you want to do, how well you can do it, and how you're going to create a consumable product/profession out of it.
Imagine Yourself At Age 95, Nearing The End Of Life. What Will You Be Proud For Leaving Behind?
All that we'll leave behind, ultimately, is what is in our hearts. If this is true, what will be left of you at the end of the day? What makes you proud to be alive? What makes you proud to be who you are?
What Makes You Feel At Peace?
Not what makes you feel joyful, or even "happy." Those emotions are fleeting, and are not grounded sensations upon which you can truly build a sustainable life. Focus on what makes you feel at peace with yourself. That's where you should be headed.
In A Dream World, What Does Your Best Self Look Like
The trick and the truth is that the person you imagine is who you truly are. The work you have to do is getting everything else out of the way that convinces you that you are any less. Your best self is the person you're meant to be, and whatever that person is and does, is what you're meant to do.
There's more. So why not come and join us in this week's English corner? See you there.
