Move In The Direction Of Your Dreams

Today we are living in the information age. Everything around us is changing so fast that most of the time we are aware of the change no sooner than the change is history. Today society is calling for us to adapt to the constantly changing environment. Those who act promptly, and see the change as an opportunity to learn, help, and grow are taking advantage of it. Others are simply being swayed around among the masses, and asking themselves the famous question, "What happened?"

Which group would you rather be a member of?
Would you rather be conscious, make use of the opportunities around you, constantly grow financially, and help others, or be the one who every now and then asks the question, "What happened?" ?

A lot of things happen today. People are being laid off, companies and businesses go bankrupt, people lose their income streams they've been relying on for a long time, etc.

If you don't make use of what's going on around you, and you can't interpret your situation in an empowering way, somebody else will. Today the opportunities last only for a short time, and favor only those who recognize them, and take proper action when they should. Others are just standing there, and watching in total astonishment. And some people have got used to the astonishment.

So where is your life headed in this hurricane?

Life is like a river. If you don't paddle in the direction of your strengths and dreams, you'll be taken away by the flow of water, and will end up most probably, where you don't want to.

You must have heard of the rat race. People work their whole lives only to find out in the end, that they have been working really hard for a whole lifetime for nothing. They have not pursued their passion, they have not been happy at all along the way, and they have obtained nothing in the end. Does that make any sense to you?

When you consciously direct your life in the direction of your true dreams, and really choose where you want to be somewhere down the road, you won't be swayed away by the currents. When you have a sense of direction, you choose consciously along the way, and make informed decisions.

So what is your passion?

What is the life you have always dreamed of, but never thought it was possible for you to have?

Do you let yourself to even dream of it anymore?

There are a thousand ways to attain your goals, no matter how big or unbelievable they might be, if you really know why you want to accomplish them. Your why is what guarantees you will not quit no matter what.

Here is a little exercise for you.

Take some time, and identify for yourself what your life would look like if it was perfect in every respect.

  • How much money would you be earning every month?
  • Where would you be living?
  • What would your house look like?
  • How much money would you have in the bank?
  • etc
Try to describe every aspect of your life if it was totally perfect.

Done with the first part? Great!

Now try to figure out why you would want to have that kind of life. Why would you deserve to have all you describe above? This part tells you about your why. Your why must be some reason that is really important to you. It could be a cause you really support. It could be your family and your kids in particular, and the kind of living standard you want them to have, or whatever reason that really matters to YOU.

Don't put making this decision off. It's about YOUR life. Your life is worth 20 minutes of your time. Isn't it?

Don't ever give up on your dreams. Those are what make YOU unique, and stand out from the crowd. Good luck!
