Write Your Story and Bring Your Life Full Circle?
August 02, 2017
“When writing your life’s story don’t let anyone else hold the pen.” – Harley Davidson
Take the time to reflect on your current life and then ask yourself the following questions:
- What wakes you up in the morning?
- What are you passionate about?
- What brings you joy?
- What gets you excited about life?
- What do you obsess about?
Are
you living your life on someone else’s terms? Doing what others –
parents, spouse, children, friends, lover – want you to do?
Deep
down inside you know what your story is. You know what will fulfill
you. You know what will bring you joy and happiness. You just have to
sit, be still, and listen to that little voice that whispers inside your
mind and tells you to go for it. Then, you have to take action. Plan it
out, what are the steps you must take to make it happen. Whatever that ITis
for you – to lose weight and get healthy, to quit your job and start
your own business, to take that new job in a foreign country, to uproot
your life and travel somewhere else to begin acting, to leave that
abusive relationship or end a relationship you’ve outgrown, to adopt a
baby as a single parent, to go back to school, to learn a new language –
whatever that IT is in your life write that story.
Do
what matters most to you because you matter, and you only have one
life. If you continue to live life on someone else’s terms you will be
miserable, bitter, frustrated, and depressed. Eventually, you’ll start
to blame and resent that person for holding you back. Don’t do things
all your life that doesn’t make you feel alive, because if you do you
will look back during your golden years and say to yourself, “What a life I’ve wasted.” If you don’t live your life to its fullest potential that means you’re not really living at all.
“There
are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than
the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.” – John F.
Kennedy
Taking action can be a problem for a lot of people. Fear, doubt, and uncertainty rules them, even paralyzes them. Change is downright scary. It’s so terrifying that most people don’t write their real story because they don’t like change.
It’s
understandable, you don’t want to feel uncomfortable. You don’t want to
hurt or feel pain if your plan fails, or your actions turn out wrong.
You don’t want to be embarrassed. You may think you’re better off
staying in an unhealthy, unsatisfying, boring, or predictable life
because it’s safe. Why rock the boat?
However,
living that type of life limits you and puts you in a small box when
life is about so much more. In order for you to step out of that box and
write your distinct story you must accept the unknown. Despite what may
or may not happen make the change and take action anyway. There are no
guarantees, but make the change and take action anyway. Nothing is 100%,
but make the change and take action anyway.
To
live your true life you must be willing to sacrifice many things. You
must be ready to push, kick, claw, or knock down that fear, that
uncertainty, and that doubt. You must be committed to leaving behind or
cutting people out of your life who are naysayers and haters. You must
say to yourself, “I’m doing this come hell or high water and nothing and nobody is going to stop me.”
Each
day take a moment to close your eyes and envision you are on the other
side and living the life you truly want to live. Believe with all your
heart that what you want to achieve you will. Have faith that you were
put on this earth for a divine purpose. Once you bring your life full
circle it will be well worth all the blood, sweat and tears it took to
get you to the divine truth of your story.
