Are you who you want to be? If not, are you willing to do something about it? What’s holding you back?
Everyone of us has the opportunity and ability to create and sustain the life we want. You can choose to live your best life. Do you want to live a life of fulfillment? Do you want to make a contribution and leave a lasting legacy? I actually believe we all do, however, most of us get bogged down in the challenges of life and don’t know how to produce the breakthroughs that will allow us to design and live the best life. If you watch the news and listen to all your negative friends and influences, you’ll develop an attitude that there’s nothing you can do to make this world a better place and live the life you desire. That’s simply not true.
As bad as this economy and our world appears, there are so many opportunities to live your best life. First, we have to change our thinking and we will start to see change. It starts with your own desire to change. Oprah says , “It begins with your own awakening, your own desire for a life that’s not just lived on the surface but is rich and deep and high and wide.”
Once you start to change your thinking, then you have to develop a vision of what you want your best life to look like. Without a vision of what it will look like, you won’t get there. Everyone who lives a life that is substantial has a vision. Vision gives us purpose. A vision is a belief in the seemingly impossible. They also are willing to sacrifice or pay a price to see that vision become a reality, and are disciplined and self-motivated to make it happen. Vision creates purpose which drives discipline.
Are you who you want to be? If not, are you willing to do something about it?
Make it an awesome day!
