"When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you."

We're told to want the big house, fancy car, brand name clothes, and to do whatever it takes to get them and be "successful"... but is that really you?  Think about it for a minute. What TRULY makes you happy, smile, feel fulfilled  ?


Maybe it IS one or more of those items and, if that's what you're working so hard for everyday, that's great!  But what if it's something else?  You dream of seeing the world, opening your own business, spending time with your family... whatever it might be, is that what is currently driving you each day?  If not,... WHY NOT?  Sure, we all have bills to pay and responsibilities hanging over our heads.  But if we live our lives and work our fingers to the bone only focusing on those things and thinking our joys are just a daydream, we can be missing out on being truly happy and excited about life!

"You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there."

Try this for a change. Instead of going to work thinking about making it through the week to pay the mortgage, put some money in savings, and dreaming of "someday" doing those things on your 'happy' list, think about how what you are doing that day is propelling you forward to achieving those things!

Rather than muttering under your breath, "I hate this job. I wish I could be [insert your 'happy thing' here]." Think about how what you are doing is actually HELPING you GET it! Are you learning new skills? Making new connections? Saving money? Building vacation time? etc. Once you change your focus toward how your job is actually HELPING you make steps toward acquiring your 'happy things', you will be amazed how you can actually feel energized, excited, and in charge of your life!

Identify what really makes you happy and start living your life for those things... not what others tell you to want. You will finally be in control of your future fulfillment!

 

 

Until next time! :)
