A 15-year-old girl wrote to me and asked about figuring out what to do with her life. She wrote:
“As a high-school student I’m often being reminded to figure out what to do with my life, what job I would like to have and so on. I feel huge amounts of pressure when my teachers and parents tell me to figure out something now. I’m young and I don’t want to make a mistake and ruin my future. I know what I like and what my interests are but when I read about a job related to those interests, I feel as if I wouldn’t enjoy it and I don’t know why. ”
What an extremely hard thing to figure out: what to do with your future! Now, I can’t really tell this young woman what to do, but I can share what I’ve learned looking back on my life, and what I would tell my kids. Here’s what I’d say.
You can’t figure out the future. Even young people who have a plan(be a doctor, lawyer, research scientist, singer)don’t really know what will happen. Life doesn’t go according to plan, and while a few people might do exactly what they set out to do, you never know if you’re one of those. Other things come along to change you, to change your opportunities, to change the world.
So if you can’t figure out the future, what do you do? Don’t focus on the future. Focus on what you can do right now that will be good no matter what the future brings. Learn skills. Go on adventures. Make friends. These things will help in the future.
Learn to be good with trouble. One of the most important skills you can develop is being OK with trouble. The best things in life are often hard, and if you run away from difficulty and trouble, you’ll miss out. You’ll live a safe life.
Learning is hard. Building something great is hard. Writing a book is hard. A marriage is hard. All are amazing. If you get good at this, you can do anything. You can start a business, which you couldn’t if you’re afraid of trouble, because starting a business is hard and uncomfortable.
How do you get good at this? Do things now that are uncomfortable and hard, on purpose. But start with small things. Try exercising for a little bit, even if it’s hard, but just start with a few minutes of it, and increase a minute every few days or so. When you find yourself avoiding discomfort, push yourself just a little bit more.
