Sometimes you stop, take a look at your life and reassess.
Supposedly everyone makes New Years resolutions but how many loose sight of those resolutions in less than a week? How many actually go through with those resolutions and change something about their life?
Hardly anyone.
The worst thing that can happen in your life is mindless drifting. Most people go through life just like that.
Drifting mindlessly.
Life’s directions and key decisions are all fuzzy – they don’t really remember how they got to where they are, it was never intentional and never planned. Career, marriage, kids, location… these are all ‘things that just happened’.
I’m painting a very black or white picture here. Of course real life has loads of different shades of grey because hey, let’s face it, nothing is that clear cut or simple. But this is mostly what’s happening with people.
I think Lewis Carol said it best in ‘Alice in Wonderland’. If you remember, at some point Alice comes to a fork in the road and asks the chesear cat which road she should take (you remember the cat right?! The one that can vanish and only leaves his smile showing):
- Well, asked the cat, where do you want to go?
- I don’t really know, answered Alice
- If that’s true, it doesn’t really matter which you road you take then, does it?
For me, that little tidbit of wisdom comes to mind too many times when I talk to people. Most don’t have goals. Most have forgotten their dreams, their desires, what it is they really care about.
And that’s a shame because even though we can’t really plan everything, without a goal there is no way you’ll ever come near it. Or surpass it.
If you’re drifting through life mindlessly you’ll never achieve anything.
I know that there’s some sort of peace of mind with no goal setting. God knows I’ve been drifting for years. But my near death dealings with the tsunami (look at my previous video to understand what I’m talking about) and the birth of my children have changed all that. I want to give my children the gift of real life education. I want to be a role model for them in action not only in words so they’ll know from an early age things like the law of attraction, how our mindset can make you wildly successful, how to plan…
It’s in imitation that we learn the best, so when I want to educate my children (as well as my students) I want to DO a lot more DOING.
Part of that is actually making choices about the direction your life is heading.
So lately with my eldest going into 1st grade I took a step back and asked myself where do I want to live? And the answer for me was not in the city (even though I have an unbelievable view of the sea from my balcony) but out in the country. Right now for me that’s the answer.
So I planned it and I’m actually moving this week. It’s a huge change and I’m a bit nervous to tell you the truth, but I’m doing it. I’m moving forward.
Wish me luck and I’ll post later on about life in the country
When was the last time you stopped and reassessed where you want to go in life? Do you want to but are lacking the tools to do so? Do you even agree with me that most people drift mindlessly? Comment below
