Week 3

What is your quest in life? If you know the answer to this question then you must have taken strides towards getting there already. If you do not know what your aspirations are then you have to figure out where you currently are in order to get where you are going. Of course figuring out where you are in life is no easy task, nor is figuring out where you want to go. However, someone once told me that in order to be happy I need to figure out what my fears are, an idea that was later solidified after reading Dr. Craig's book "The Money Matrix Method". Anyway, when I was asked that question I didn't know what to say, what was the easiest answer? Everything? Did everything scare me? No, of course not. Yes, some of the components that make up our daily lives are intimidating, but intimidation should not be enough to keep us from living our lives. Intimidation should give us the will power to overcome what frightens us in order to be successful individuals.

Someone like Dr. Craig who gives life coach training tips will tell you that if you do not yearn for success like you yearn for air, you are never going to be truly successful. Success is a means of happiness, whether that success comes in the form of wealth or prosperity in terms of achievement. We all know the saying that money cannot buy you happiness, and yet we still continue to believe it. Money can bring us comfort, and a significant lack of money can make us miserable. However, money does not equal happiness. Hence why in order to be successful, you cannot go about obtaining a job where statistics tell you that you will make a lot of money in that field, you need to get a job that makes you happy, a job that actually does not feel like a job at all. Other people, potential clients, are attracted to happy people. If you love what you do it is obvious, so find what you love to do.

Figuring out what you love to do is also no easy task, whether you are in you mid twenties or late fifties. Yet, is working for a paycheck and that one instant of gratification when the check touches your hand enough to make you love a job that you despise every other day of the week? Of course not. Gratification may not come every day but it should come often. You should be pleased by your efforts, what you do for other people, and what you have done for yourself by choosing a career that is right for you. Yes, it is always easier to follow rather than lead and yes if the world was filled with only leaders it would be one hectic place. Yet, while you can, you do not have to start your own business to be successful, but if want to then you should probably look into some business coach training! Though the true idea is that while you do not have to be a leader of a company or a society, you always have to be the leader when it comes to determining the path for your life. Sometimes it is easier asking someone else to choose for us...I know I have wanted people to tell me the answers to my own life before. But no one knows the answer except you, and while you may not know it yet, you'll figure it out. You may not figure it out today, or tomorrow, or the next day. But one day the answer will come to you when you least expect it.
