Dear Richard,

From what I am hearing even during your doctorate you were not certain of it. Can I ask you what do you like to do? Don’t think about money, it’s just a tool that we use to help us gain experiences, help accomplish dreams and the like. If you could do anything in the world without thinking in terms of money what would it be? I would love to see you find your WHY, meaning why would you do that? And anytime you start to have doubt, obstacles, remember your why. Those obstacles are there just to make the journey more fun, so you become more sure in yourself, more confident, more adventurous.

In our society we tend to think so linearly, go to school get a job in that field. Now what is your field? I want you to think outside the box here. Don’t go and do the same things others are doing, be creative with this, get specific with your goals. Brainstorm some ideas. I get feeling uncertain and scared and anxiety, I started a blog myself last year at the height of my own depression and the beginning of the pandemic. It changed me, and the progress I got to make just by writing changed me. Helped me find answers and release pains and traumas. It required me to work and look inside myself and lots of tears and fears. I hope this helps or gives you some guidance so you don’t stay stuck in that uncertainty cycle.  Be well my friend.

Hope
