    Feeling so lost with career options as I feel like I only know what I don't like, but not what I truly like. This video came out at such perfect timing. Thank you Laurie.

    I was raised to not believe in passion but to just work hard and don’t depend on anyone so now I am struggling on receiving help, or even knowing how I can follow and find my passion

      Thank you for sharing your story. It's understandable to feel this way. Try exploring different interests and allow yourself to be curious. Seeking support from mentors or communities can also provide guidance and new perspectives. Remember, it's okay to ask for help and take your time finding what truly excites you.

    Love your videos.
    As a asian descendant I felt big deal of pressure to do something amazing with my life and here I am at 45 starting from zero (again).
    Two years ago I felt like I let everybody down, but now I don't care what people might or may not say. This new feeling scares me a bit but the liberty to do what I'm passionate to do is stronger.
    Thank you ❤

      Thank you for sharing your story, I can definitely relate. It's never too late to start anew, and it's inspiring to hear that you're following your passion despite the pressure. Embracing your own path is a courageous step, and I'm glad my videos could be a part of your journey. Wishing you all the best as you pursue what truly makes you happy. Thank you for your kind words and support! ❤️

    I recently lost my job and too started questioning about my job, whether it's actually something I wanna do, and pretty much everything in general. Thank you so much for this video Laurie. It's not the answers I have to almost all the questions I had, but these questions and points do make me think in the right path, to plan out properly what I wanna do moving forward. Subbed

      Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, and I’m really sorry to hear about the loss of your job. It’s completely understandable to start questioning everything during times like these, and I’m glad the video helped spark some reflection. Sometimes, it's not about having all the answers right away, but about asking the right questions and taking that next step forward.

    I know deep inside that I have a lot of potential but I feel lost.. Like I do not know what I want to do and how to start or where to start from.. I find myself in one loop everyday.. same spot same zone everyday.. Bed to kitchen to school back to the kitchen, laundry room, living room then back to school then hom then bed... A closed loop every signle day with nothing new in my life.. My brain is full of things.. but zero action in my life.. I cannot determine what I can or want to do.. 💔

    • @lauriexwang
      @lauriexwang  4 месяца назад +2

      It sounds like you’re in a tough spot right now, feeling stuck in a repetitive routine and unsure of where to start. It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed when you know you have potential but struggle to channel it into action.
      Sometimes, breaking out of a loop begins with small changes. Even minor shifts in your routine or trying out new activities can provide a fresh perspective and spark new interests. Consider setting aside a bit of time each day to explore different hobbies, skills, or areas of interest, no matter how small. This can help you gradually discover what resonates with you. Hope this helps!

    I quit my job almost 2 years ago teaching at university where I realised that I do love teaching but not the subject that I was teaching and I had spent years learning and specialising in. I love sharing my knowledge and things I’ve learned with others but I’ve not been able to figure out what I can actually teach others that I am actually interested in. I guess I need to recognise or learn a skill that I enjoy enough to then help others with it. Still struggling with it though. 😅

    • @lauriexwang
      @lauriexwang  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you for sharing your journey with me. It’s a big step to recognize that you love teaching but need to find a subject that truly sparks your passion. It’s okay to feel uncertain-it’s all part of the process. Sometimes, the path to discovering what you want to teach comes from exploring new interests and allowing yourself the space to experiment. Don’t be too hard on yourself as you figure it out; the right direction will reveal itself in time. Keep exploring, and trust that your passion for teaching will guide you to where you’re meant to be. 🙌❤️
