Does your life have meaning? When you wake up each day are you full of excitement for what the waiting hours might bring your way? Do you go throughout your day savoring every minute of it as if there were not enough of them or do you count them down as if sleep is your only moment of joy? Are you slowly awaiting your death or are you living in purpose?
As you answer these questions to yourself, remember the feelings you get when you do. That feeling will give you a pretty good idea of whether or not you are living. My family and I travel quite a bit which leaves a lot of time for reflection. The conversation came up regarding what our life used to be before finding this opportunity and the industry of Personal Development. I used to wake up every day, go to the same place to work every day, do the same thing there every day, and come home to spend time with my family every night for an hour or two before it was time to sleep. Now don’t get me wrong, there are those who have no time with their family after work! So I had it better than some, but what was I thinking? I was slowly dying! As I woke every morning, I was not excited for my day. I didn’t expect my day tomorrow to be much different from today.
What did I have to look forward to? I could see then, how someone could get excited over a new job or promotion, but now, it seems like such a hard and uneventful life. Besides the part that involves family and friends, most of your life is wasted in building someones elses dream. Everyday spent at a job is a day wasted in your dream. All that work for two weeks of vacation a year! I in stupidity at myself, because I used to think that was fair!
It is my goals to create as many entrepreneurs as I possibly can in my lifetime. Since I transitioned from the work force to entrepreneuralism, I have experienced a life of opportunity and excitement. I can hardly wait to see what the future brings our way. I love living and love those I am surrounded with and those I am able to assist in living the life of their dreams. What are you here on Earth for? You are only here once, make the best of it and live the life you imagine you would, because you know what, you are the creator of it!
