My website mylifechanges.com helps people create,link and track their Life Mission Statement, Core Values and Goals. It isn’t easy for
people to be introspective. It’s like avoiding the dreaded doctor’s check-up
and lighting up another smoke.
Lots of people are in
this permanent state of denial, depending on TV, credit cards, potato chips,
celebrity blogs, and kicking the dog to get them through the day. Usually it
takes a dramatic life change or disaster to wake them up and appreciate life
for what it is.
Life is a continuous
journey of valleys, hills and peaks. The trick is to get out and enjoy the ride
and challenges along the way. Continuing on a consumer treadmill is a temporary
external joy and has nothing to do with rejoicing in the wonder of being human.
I bought a new car
recently and the initial euphoria of its leather seats, Bose stereo, and
sunroof, has worn off for the most part. Sure it’s comfy but I haven’t really
grown as a person because of it.
What is really
important to me is the hope I am creating in my life, as well as freedom,
happiness, joy, compassion and love. Wealth creation can equate to freedom in
life.
We can’t always be
happy, being angry and frustrated is part of who we are. A major break through
is when we accept our human warts and not fight them all the time. It's
called being friends with yourself. Self-acceptance isn’t easy. Being human
isn’t easy.
It's also much easier to work on
your strengths than to keep picking at your weaknesses. Try it.
I believe in what I am
trying to do. If I can shift just a few people and help them understand
more about themselves and life, my job is done.
My own journey
continues.
Until
next time.
