To learn something new, you need to try new things and not be afraid to be wrong.
– Roy T. Bennett

What haven’t I done?

I had trouble finding what I truly loved to do.

My family, especially my mom, always encouraged me to try new things, supporting me along the way. I am blessed to be able to try so many things during my childhood, from sports to music but they don’t all work. Some I was good at but it felt like a chore or burden, while some were super fun but I was too mediocre at it or never felt that I fit in. I never felt or knew any of that at the time, it was fun to do until I couldn’t go anymore or did something else.

Still, it built a good foundation for me, a jack of all trades and master of none. Even if I never pursued any of it, I was able to learn so many skills, experience so many things and meet so many people; it has helped me discover myself and understand those around me.

How to find yourself

Applying those skills to other aspects of my life, I became a less picky eater, made more friends, and learned new methods to study. Sometimes, trying new things will help a lot but the cost might outweigh the rewards. Trying out those sports and learning music took a lot of time, not just mine but my family’s as well. Knowing when to stop and understanding what you don’t like is a great skill but sometimes it might be too fun or you are too good at it.

To know what you truly love, it should be fun doing it by yourself and on your own time as well as with others. You should actively research, practice, and try to improve without being pushed to. You should care and understand how it impacts you as well as the lives of those around you.

Choose what you haven’t done to know what to do in the future.
You should just try it out.
