Why "If you’re not excited about it, it’s not the right path" is My Favorite Quote
In life, there's many paths we can choose to walk down, each with its own set of opportunities and challenges. There's one guiding principle that has always resonated deeply with me: "If you’re not excited about it, it’s not the right path." This quote by Abraham Hicks, tells you to follow your passions and pursue what truly excites you.
Follow Your Passions
One of the reasons why this quote holds such significance for me is its emphasis on passion. I feel true fulfillment when I’m pursuing endeavors that excite and inspire me. I didn’t (and don’t) want to work somewhere that I dread going to everyday. Whether it's your career path or a personal goal, if it doesn't spark joy within you, it's likely to lead to long-term dissatisfaction.
Constantly Learn & Grow
I am someone who is always seeking out new challenges to expand my horizons and learn more. One way I do this is by learning from outside influencers who excel in the areas that intrigue me. I primarily work on social media, graphic design, and email marketing, but seeing individuals like Nicole Weber (@nicoleweberdesigns), a talented logo designer on TikTok, effortlessly bringing her creative visions to life sparks a fire within me to try to do the same.
Embrace New Skills
Nicole’s captivating designs inspired me to explore the world of digital art and logo design. I decided to download Procreate, a digital illustration app, as my first step. While my journey may be filled with challenges, I am truly excited to see what kind of logos I can create, and it reassures me that I'm on the right path.
Importance of Authenticity
While leveraging FOMO can be an effective marketing strategy, it's crucial to keep it authentic. The younger generations are great at detecting misleading or manipulative tactics that will ultimately damage your brand trust. Authenticity is key - make sure the exclusivity aligns with the actual value offered by the product or experience.
There are endless possibilities in this world, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of life's choices. By embracing the mantra "If you’re not excited about it, it’s not the right path," we can navigate our way toward fulfillment and purpose. Whether it's pursuing our passions, learning new skills, or seeking inspiration from others, let excitement be our compass as we go through life.
