Why you need more uncertainty in your life
If you want an extraordinary life
Hi friends!
So, this year, I decided to pause travel nursing because I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone.
I want to learn how to not depend on my nursing career for income.
So far, it's going terribly.
I haven't made a single dollar from my efforts except for some "passive" income from Medium.
But I'm okay with this.
Because I really want to get used to the idea of living in uncertainty.
I believe that if you want to be successful in life, and want that extraordinary results, you have to learn how to live with uncertainty (i.e. not knowing where life will take you).
You need to learn to trust that things will work out without forcing them.
In the past, I tamed uncertainty by taking on travel nursing assignments while I worked on my creative projects, such as writing and YouTube. I'm a big advocate for working on your side hustles while you're in your day job.
But at the same time, it can be so easy to make this your comfort zone.
For instance, I know I don't push myself enough to create products or services because I have my nursing income to rely on. While it's useful to focus on building a skill at the beginning of your journey, there comes a point when you have to move on to the next level.
In this case, to turn your hobby into a business that serves others (without losing yourself in the process).
I've been in the content creation game for about three years, and even though it's been fun, I feel like I'm at that point in my journey where I need to do something with the skills I've accumulated.
At this point in, I have two choices:
Change nothing. Do travel nursing and keep creating content about *whatever* I feel like and *whenever* I feel like.
Embrace uncertainty. Do the scary thing of finding the people I want to help and offer them products and services that truly improve their lives.
The second option is so scary because it's uncertain.
If I put myself out there, I risk rejection, being ignored, or worse, being called a "sell-out."
But I also can't let those thoughts or fears run my life.
The truth is, I've always known I won't be a nurse forever.
But if I choose the former option, I'll be stuck in that loop for years.
So even though embracing uncertainty is so damn comfortable, I also know it's what's going to push me to the next level.
Being uncertain will push you to that growth you’re looking for. It can even bring you fulfillment. I know for sure, that it will help you get to the next level version of yourself.
So whatever you feel uncertain about right now, that's probably your next step in life.
And speaking of uncertainty, I'm researching what problems I could solve for people so I'm booking some free calls in the next few weeks.
If you're interested in getting some help about anything in your journey, book your free call here. I promise I won’t sell you anything. Just tons of free advice when it comes to mindset, content creation, or whatever it is you need help with :)
If you don’t need anything, book the call anyway so I can speak to you if you’ve been a reader of my work. No pressure.
Anyways, I hope your March is going well and I’ll see you in the next one.
And remember, you make the rules.
J 💛
