What Do You Want From Life?
By Jana Beeman
We get up every day and move through our routine. We do what we’re expected to do, for the most part, and we do what we need to do to meet our responsibilities. We sometimes feel like hours drag by a week at a time, while years fly by as we plod our way through each day. Some days are happy, some are less so, and still we continue on.
But what do you really want from your life?
What is the thing that lights you up, fuels your passion, the one thing you’d do all day for free if you didn’t have bills to pay?
Is that the same thing you do for a living?
If not, why?
What would change in your life if those two things WERE the same?
For those of you who are in that boat, think about that, and make some decisions about what you want to do about it. Then I challenge you to take one step toward making that your life.
Deal?
Ok, so what about those of you who are trying to build a business based around your passion?
I have some questions for you as well.
Are you making the money you need and want to make?
Is your business bringing you the joy you thought it would?
If not, what’s missing?
Here’s a little piece of wisdom I think often gets lost as conscious entrepreneurs try to build and grow a business: You get to choose.
Huh?
You are the one who gets to determine what your business looks like.
You get to decide how many hours you work it.
You decide how much you need and want to make and how you’re going to do that.
You decide.
So what’s been going on in your business that would not be what you would consciously choose? What’s been sneaking in under the title of “NEED TO”, “HAVE TO”, “SHOULD” that is simply not what you want?
Decide what that is and what you would rather have instead, then I double-dog dare you to take ONE action to move toward creating that.
Simple, right?
It can be.
We get in our own way when we let our default patterns rule our actions without consciously deciding. It’s one reason that planning in your business is so important, because unless you plan your steps and your decisions, something else based on old thought, patterns, habits and beliefs will take over.
You don’t want that, because sooner or later, it will start to feel as uncomfortable and forced as working for someone else did. Why do all the work just to get that same old result?
CHOOSE your passion, and pursue it relentlessly.
CHOOSE to make that pursuit fun and rewarding.
CHOOSE to create the life and business you want.
No one else can do it for you.
So… what do you choose today?
