Decide What's Next

By: Shawn Desgrosellier

You don't have to take life the way it comes to you. You can design your life to come to you the way you want it. This is your life, your one and only life, and you don't want to miss any part of it. So what's it going to be? You decide, starting today you can make your life the most exciting, satisfying, productive, and amazing journey imaginable. Time to forget about telling those stories and memories of the past and work on creating those stories and memories for the future. Let them go and set yourself free.

There are different areas of your life that require you to take a fresh look at and honestly evaluate or even call upon the insight of your close friends and relatives to help you see what you are and where you may be falling short. A great place to start.

What are the "areas" of your life that fall into the equation: career, family, health or physical, financial, charitable, spiritual are the big ones.

I thought to keep this short and sweet I would list a few questions that will get you thinking about you and your mission, values and dreams and it is up to you to take this to a deeper and more applicable level for you based upon what you want to accomplish in 2010 and beyond.

What are your talents? What are you doing with them? What do you dream about? Do you dream about the things you used to dream about when you were younger? What is the next step for you? Are you surrounding yourself with the people that will help you get there? Why not? Do you say "someday I will"? What are those things you want to achieve, places you want to see, things you want to have, the person you want to be? Why someday and not today? How high are you aiming? Are you satisfied with comfortable? Are you stretching yourself spiritually? When is the last time you looked deep inside at yourself and were happy with the who you are and what you have become? Did you cry? Did you regret? Did you do anything about it to change the future? Are you working hard at all the things that are important to you in life? Are you lazy? Are you taking care of yourself? Are you getting the right exercise and eating the right foods? Do you you need to wait until that wake up call comes before you take action- but then will it be too late? Are you kind to others? Do you procrastinate? Are you trying new things? Are you open to possibilities? Are you spontaneous? Are you taking risks? Are you trusting your crazy ideas? Are you grateful?

I think I can keep on going literally forever, but just writing it down and thinking about it will hopefully inspire you to do something or change something.

Make 2010 one to remember, prioritize your life and set goals that are important to you, not necessarily others and go get them!

LIFE IS NOW!
