A gentle German man named Peter Beer muttered to me a podcast episode about finding your calling in life. There were seven questions that I don't remember verbatim, but one of them was something like "What would a regular day of your dream life be like?" In detail. Another - "What would you do if money didn't matter at all?"... And there's supposed to be 5 more questions, but I either don't remember, or in fact I didn't catch them because I was listening on the go, with all kinds of noises, etc.
Oh, yes, "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?"
I really struggle with responding to these questions, and I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be, or it says something about me.
The last question kind of doesn't work for me. The thing is that I've tried doing what I wanted and have failed... I haven't stopped trying though, which is the important thing, I guess.
What I would do if money didn't matter, though - I would leave this place, although I'm not sure exactly where. Somewhere closer to nature. And I think I would just do nothing, quite frankly. Except trying to understand myself.
And then the "day of your dream life" question... Which is hard to respond to if you don't know yourself. I don't even know if I'm an owl or an early bird. What do I like more, getting up early or going to bed late? Either situation has its charms... One thing is for sure, a day of my dream life would end with me dropping on the bed and immediately falling asleep, although I suspect it has more to do with a dream body and metabolism than a dream life.
Anyway, I thought I'd share, and maybe people would like to give their own responses.
