Are you really happy with your job or life? Are you saying and doing things because you "should" or because you "want to"? Chances are if you're living a life of "shoulds," or working a job "just for the money", you are not living a passionate life that is fulfilling and unique for you. You are living a life by what you believe you are "supposed" to do, according to society or people around you. Perhaps, you may even think you do not have any options. Living a life of "shoulds" can bring you a life of complacency, frustration, boredom and perhaps dread. You need to get out of your comfort zone, explore alternatives and utilize your power of choice. When you begin living your life or finding work according to your unique interests, talents and values, your authentic being will shine and ignite your fire from within. Your energy will increase and your mindset will become positive and creative. You will be diggin' life!

You have the opportunity to choose whether or not to stay in the same miserable and unhealthy work or personal environments. You need to do something about your situation if you want it to be different. If you are not happy right now, list the reasons why you are still doing what you are doing. The "whys" are critical for self-discovery. Are the reasons really worth the aggravation? Deep down, people who stay stuck are really saying to their selves, "I'm settling at this job or personal situation because it's easier. I can't. Or, I am not worthy of living a passionate, happy life. " The way you are living at this very moment reflects how you perceive yourself and your outlook on life.
