If you don't feel happy, satisfied, or you don't feel like you are fulfilling your purpose or desires (Ikigai): get out of that place.

I know it's easier said than done. So many fears imposed by society or our family, friends, school... since we were little.

It's really simple. Break with everything. Get out of the routine, leaving everything, and go, outside, to another place, preferably with a lot of nature. And breathe.

A month, or two... a year. This sabbatical year will help you think on what you really want in your life, and, if it comes from within (from the heart), reinvent yourself and create something new that keeps you happy, even if you return to live in that same place where you lived. You came out, you will no longer see it with the same eyes.

This is just another test of your own hero's path. After the fall, comes rebirth.

Plus, what you focus on grows. If you look at the world around you and see it all gray or sad, change your look inside, and ask yourself; what do I really want that I'm NOT giving myself?

Likewise, if you see the world around you with light, bright and smiling, look at yourself and ask; what makes me so happy? and be grateful for it, even if you don't find the answer right now.
