There’s More To Life, folks, than just existing…

So many people wander aimlessly through life. They have no direction. They have no goals. They have no dreams.

Your average life does not have to be as good as it gets. There is more to life if you want it.

There are a few quotes I’ve heard over the years…

“If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, How Will You Know Once You’re There?”
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

These are so true. If you don’t know where you are going, how are you ever going to get there? And if you don’t know where you’re going, well, anywhere you land, will be where you were going… Do you really want to leave it to chance? Do you really just want to accept whatever comes down the pike?

If going to work every day, sitting in a little cubicle or behind a desk, moaning and complaining about how awful it is and how miserable you are… If sitting around watching the “boob tube” or as we like to say “electronic income reducer”… If playing games all day, like Farmville, Mafia Wars, or World of Warcraft (WoW)… If those are all things that you do… I like to call those survival tactics and time wasters. That isn’t really living… that’s just existing and passing time.

There is more to life than just that. Life shouldn’t be deduced into simply existing and surviving… That’s boring and unproductive. I can’t believe that most people live like that. It’s like they are totally blinded to the potential within themselves to be something more, to have a life worth living and enjoying…

I challenge you to think about what you would like your life to be like if there were no limitations on time or finances or ability. Truly think about the things that you want out of life. What is your vision of a perfect life? What would your daily activities be? Think about this – in fact, give it a LOT of thought. Map it out in your mind. Make sure to include all of your senses – what it looks like, sounds like, feels like, smells like, even tastes like. The more of your senses you involve, the stronger the vision, the stronger the vision, the more you program yourself for what it is you truly want.

Now… it’s not just as easy as thinking about what you want out of life and creating your map in your mind. You have to take the necessary actions to bring about the goals you seek. You must take the actions necessary to move you in the right direction towards that vision.

Some people use whiteboards to write phrases on, or a bulletin board to put pictures on. I go one step further. I make “Mind Movies“. A mind movie is a video that includes both the phrases and pictures which can help stimulate more of the senses to give you a more vivid experience in helping you realize your dreams than the stand alone methods can.

Once you have decided what it is you want, and have it all mapped out in your head, and put it down on something, whether it’s writing it out, putting phrases on a whiteboard, putting pictures on a bulletin board, or making a Mind Movie, you have to take the appropriate action to get yourself there. You can’t just visualize it and then think that all you have to do is wait for it to come to you. Nothing is achieved from laziness. You have to take the ideas and inspirations you will receive and then roll with them.

Once you decide where it is that you want to go, the universe will mysteriously direct you on how to get there. Opportunities will pop up, you will get ideas and/or inspirations of things you can do. When that happens, you have to grab the bull by the horns and go for it. This is the universe directing you towards what you want. Don’t ignore it. This is your chance to create the life that you want.

Now… if watching TV, playing games, and merely existing or surviving is what you want out of life. Well, more power to you, I can’t stop you. As long as you enjoy your life, that’s what matters. Each one of us has a role to play in this universe. Not everyone wants the same thing.

For me, though, I believe that there’s more to life than just that, and I’m going to do everything in my power to make it happen!

Until next time…

You know, by saying things like “I have no chance in hell”, “I can’t do this”, “there’s no way this will work for me”, or “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not smart enough”, “I don’t have what it takes”, or “I’ll never be as good as so and so”, “I don’t have enough time to make this work”, or “I can’t make this work”?

When you say these things, you are creating your own roadblocks. Thoughts are things. Whatever you think about, you bring about. Even if you do not believe in the Law of Attraction, these forces are in place whether you acknowledge them or not. It’s like the Law of Gravity. The Law of Gravity existed even before the Apple fell on Newton’s head and he gave it a name. It is a principle.

When you think things, it puts that energy out into the Universe for manifestation. So, if you are thinking that you can’t do something, guess what, you are right, you won’t be able to do whatever it is you are trying to do.

So, in 2010 let’s get our heads on straight and turn those negative statements into positive statements. Instead of “I have no chance in hell”, let’s try “I have every chance in the world to succeed”. Instead of “I’m not good enough”, let’s try “I am more than good enough”. Instead of “I’ll never be as good as so and so”, let’s try “I am as good as or better than so and so”. And just who the hell sold you the bill of goods that you aren’t and/or can’t be as good as someone else? You can be just as good as you put your heart, mind, and soul into.

Never sell yourself short. You are doing yourself a disservice. Buck up, chin up, and get your game on. You are an awesome person and you deserve to succeed just as much as the next guy, maybe even more so! I want to see that inner light in you shine bright. Don’t be afraid to come out of the dark, it’s very nice here in the light. Live a little. Smell the roses. And quit being your own worst roadblock to success.
