Life On Track: Time for a change

Now that the summer is coming to a close and the next season of life begins to sneak in, what’s next for you? Is there a part of you that wishes for something more? Is there a deep longing for something better? Are you ready for a change in one or more areas of your life?

If you answered yes, then I have great news for you. Today is the day you can make that change, fulfill that longing, and make that wish come true! The fact is, every day, every moment of our lives is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. What tends to happen for many of us is that we don’t seize the moment. We wait until tomorrow. We find a reason why not to do something instead of the reason to do the thing we want to do.

I invite you to make the choice to live differently now. Here is my advice. Put yourself first! It may sound the opposite of what you’ve heard, however, stick with me as I help you to literally design and create the life you want!

Don’t put yourself first in the selfish way you might think I mean. What I’m talking about is the fact that when you put yourself first, you take complete responsibility for everything in your life. Instead of waiting for the right time, the right moment, or the right opportunity, you begin to make it the right time, moment, and opportunity. You also begin to make it your responsibility to live your life the way you want to live your life.

Let me put this into perspective for you. If you want to be more respected at work, who’s responsibility is it to make you feel that way? If you want be in a more loving relationship, who’s responsibility is it to create a more loving relationship? If you want to be in shape, yet your family life prohibits you from going to the gym, who’s responsibility is it to find a way to get in shape? Let me give you a hint, the answer is always, “It’s my responsibility!”

In order for you to fulfill that wish, fill that void of longing, or see the changes you want, you must begin taking complete, and I do mean complete, responsibility for everything in your life. That is going to require you to do a few specific actions.

First, write down what matters to you; don’t consider what it would take, just write down what matters. Next, write down three possible solutions to overcoming the challenge of not being, doing, or having what you want. Now, discuss it with those people in your life who can assist you with choosing the best solution to your challenge. Finally, commit to doing what matters to you, and ask the people you just spoke with to hold you accountable.

The key to success in any area of life is to identify what matters, find the solution to the challenge of that not being your reality, and then taking consistent action. If you mess up, that’s okay. You can mess up, just don’t give up.

Identify one thing that you want to change, now that a new season is upon us. Then do what YOU need to do in order to create and live the life you want to be living!
