ONLY YOU CAN KNOW WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO DO.
So many times in this world we let others dictate our lives. We listen to our parents, our friends, even our neighbors on what we "should do" with our lives.
No one knows our true purpose — that's something we have to find on our own.
Our passions and our love should be what guides us in life, not just logic.
Life's too short to spend precious moments chasing something we don't care about, something that doesn't make us feel fulfilled.
Sure, you could be a doctor or a lawyer and make money fast: but what good is the cash if you're miserable?
When you follow your passion and master those skills, the money will follow, and it'll be worth the delay.
That's why for today's episode of The School of Greatness, I brought on a truly inspirational woman: Michelle Waterson.
Michelle is a wife, a mother, and an amazing UFC fighter. She had a passion for martial arts even as a child but pushed her passion aside to listen to what her parents wanted.
She went to college and studied things she didn't really care about.
One day she was hired to work as a ring girl at a UFC fight and watching the action up close made her decide she wanted to continue her childhood passion.
As soon as the semester was over, she left school and started training to be a fighter – but there was only one problem.
At that time there were no UFC women. In fact, the UFC was very clear they were never planning to let women into the UFC.
She didn't let that stop her. She continued to train and take small fights any chance should could.
Finally, all the hard work paid off. The UFC started letting in women fighters, and she's had an incredible career that didn't exist not too long ago.
If you're wondering if you should actually pursue your passion, no matter how unconventional it may be, you need to hear Episode 655.
