It isn't enough to sit on the sidelines and hope for things to get better. You've got to ask yourself, "What steps am I going to take to get the things in life I want?" Achieving great goals takes planning and your life is no different.
Take charge! Make plans to bridge the distance between where you are now and the future you can see so clearly. Define, clarify and implement your plans. If you need help, don't be bashful. Ask someone for it. You will be surprised how willing others are to help you succeed.
Remember, your plan is your path and your guide. No one with a plan has ever lost their way on the road to her goals!
To gain happiness, you must learn to enjoy that which you have
''To gain happiness, you must learn to enjoy that which you
have. It is not how much you have. It is what we think about
that which we have that produces happiness. In building a
happy, contented life, you must give happiness to others. No
one living unto him or herself will ever be contented with his
or her lot. Your happiness is reflected upon you through the
service you give to others. And the thought you give to the
creation of happiness will attract a happiness-service from
others. Start creating the happiness-habit by producing
happy, love-filled thoughts. Happiness is an attribute of love;
therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to
others ."
Laugh at every excuse
The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse for not taking action. No matter what the situation, there's always an excuse that sounds perfectly reasonable and that can provide you with permission to do nothing.
Rarely does it help to fight against the excuses, because that just leads to even stronger and more compelling excuses. So how do you get around them?
Connect with a dream that is bigger than any excuse could possibly be. Grab hold of a dream that's so compelling it makes you laugh at every possible excuse.
If your goal is to do what you don't really want to do anyway, even the weakest excuse can stop you cold. If, however, your goal is tied to an authentic, personally meaningful dream, that's a completely different situation.
And that makes perfect sense. Because if it doesn't really matter to you anyway, there's not much point in spending your precious time on it.
Choose instead to live the beautiful, meaningful dreams that you truly desire to live. And no setback, no challenge, no excuse will have the power to even slow you down.
