What is it you truly want??
Have you ever taken a break from the everyday grind to evaluate your
life? To take a candid look @ what you’re doing each day as you
experience “life”? The last few months I’ve really done this….keep in
mind, I kinda had to force myself to do it….I’ve read the self-help
books, watched the YouTube motivation videos, but like most things in
life, it’s all white noise until you put it into action…..See here’s the
“rub”….most of us are living life by default. We live a reactive existence
instead of being proactive in creating the life we want. I was taught
most of my life to go to school, then go to college, get a good job…blah,
blah, blah….for me, this was a recipe for a slow death….BUT I NEVER
REALIZED IT TILL NOW!!! Who made the rules to say a 9-5 is for
everyone?…who made the rules to say your family can have the crumbs
of time left over after your boss takes what he or she wants from you?…
who made the rules which say it’s “normal” to ask for time to take your
family on vacation?…I had to evaluate whether or not these “rules”
made sense to me…and they didn’t…and here’s why; some people are
employee-minded and some are entrepreneurial-minded…neither is
better than the other, but (and here’s the CRUCIAL point)…NEITHER
CAN BE THE OTHER! Whatever your situation currently is, you have
to realize, you’re responsible for it….if you don’t like it, only you can
change it….this is what I now understand….we spend more time
preparing for the weekend than we do preparing our life….this is not
normal…..my business mentor, Steve Cook, has created what he calls
“Lifeonaire”….an amazing process of breaking through the crap to see
what it is you truly want your life to be, why you want it to be a certain
way and then creating a realistic plan to make it a reality…the key is the
“why’s” which drive you….when your reasons are important enough,
you’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen….anyway, just some
things for you to think about…we’ll hit this in detail as the blog
continues……thanks for checking out the blog and remember,
“…Life is meant to be lived, not simply endured….”
