Hey Life Hopper! If you clicked on this post, it’s because you are probably at that point in your life where you feel a little lost. Maybe at work, with your friends, or in your passions.
First of all: calm down!
Being in that place and wanting to know yourself more means that you are on the right track. You are acting to guide your life to your liking and not let it pass you by without having taken advantage of it.
Questioning is part of the process of knowing yourself. We question the things we do, the jobs we choose, and the people we spend our time with, taking care of our energy and joy.
If you are restless, life seems short for the amount of things you want to do, and you do not want to settle for a life that you are not passionate about, then welcome! You are a true Life Hopper and welcome to this amazing community.
My goal with this blog is to inspire you to create the life of your dreams as we discover the world together. Life’s too short to stagnate and do things that don’t fill our soul.

Personally, I think these questions should be asked more often! It is always good to have control of the decisions that we make every day that impact our lives in the future.
As Life Hoppers, we take life by the reins, and we can’t let it get away from us! So I encourage you to keep a record of these questions in a notebook and commit to follow up personally!
As unsettling as it may be at first to know ourselves in depth, in the long run it is the best favor we can do TO ourselves! Realizing the things that are wrong today helps us improve them in the future. So don’t run away, prepare yourself a cup of tea or coffee and sit down with youself for a while instead of scrolling social media just a bit more. Do it for yourself!
In addition to these questions, I encourage you to read the books that changed my life and that can help guide you in whatever situation you find yourself in.
