Tired of living the same life scenario day after day? Do you feel like you want to jump out of your skin, your need for something different is so great? I went through that. It became this internal battle between myself and my soul. I wanted something different, however something different could possibly impact my family in a negative way. Now, I realize that moving in the direction I want to move in will only have a wonderful impact on my family. My family will benefit from my happiness. They will have a role model and will know what moving towards a path of success looks like. If I don’t change what I don’t like about my life, I will be miserable and everyone around me will be able to see it.
Now, the problem is, how do you go about changing your situation? That is the hardest piece of the puzzle. You have to decide what you want. Sounds easy, but very difficult. Some people would say instantly, “I want an undepletable pile of cash!” or ” I want to be filthy rich!!”. Two problems there. The first problem is that being rich is a condition. The means by which you earn money is the vehicle. What vehicle would you drive on that journey? The second problem is, do you really want to be filthy rich? Have you looked at the true lives of the filthy rich? Not just the appearance of how they live… Think about that. Look past the life they SEEM like they are having and analyze the life they TRULY have. For example, Bernie Madoff, he lived a wealthy life. Now, how did he come by that wealth? By means of other people’s blood, sweat, and tears. At the end of his career, now he lives an austere life in prison devoid of the luxuries he had grown accustomed to. His wife lives in shame and seclusion, when once she was a social paragon and lived what was thought to be a dream. This is not a post about Bernie, he simply symbolizes that being wealthy is only part of the picture. If you research the lives of multi-millionaires and billionaires, you will find that many died penniless, loveless, and even in some cases homeless. Now, am I saying that being rich means you will be unhappy? Not at all. For example, Look at Walt Disney. He turned a lowly mouse into a multi-billion dollar enterprise. While doing so, he created an empire based on being happy and living a dream. Millions of children grew up listening to stories and watching Disney based movies. His legacy impacts millions on a positive way.
Living a fulfilling life will make you happy. If you become a billionaire while doing it, even better!!! The first stop in living a life you love is to decide what that means to you. My next post will tackle the topic of figuring out exactly what you want in your life.
