Getting What We Want!

It seems to me that getting what we want is something we really should concentrate on this year.  Why?  Because each year we get older and often find ourselves dissatisfied with where we are in our lives.  Why is this so?  Is it because we don't have the dream job we'd like to have?  Is it because outside pressures are making things difficult for us?  Is it because we don't have enough time to concentrate on the people we love?  Or maybe it's a combination of these.  Whatever the reasons, I would suggest we work on finding a solution.

Often I hear that it's tough to be comfortable and happy in our lives because of outside pressures.  People want us to be a certain way.  They want us to conform to their idea of how our lives should be.  And yet, when do we get to have things the way we want them to be?  When can we stop feeling the pressure of our jobs, our families, our life's difficulties?  Maybe we can start defining our own lives and choices today.  Maybe today can be a defining moment in our lives. 

I have an idea... Let's take a minute and really examine what we want in life.  Let's think about it.  What would you like your life to look like?

If you can't answer that, that's okay.  Just give it some thought over the next few days.  Because I believe that one of the things that holds us back from the life we want to lead, is that we're not really all that clear on what that life looks like.  And once we're able to look at it consciously and really examine what we believe would make our lives better, then we can start working toward it.  And once we start working toward making our dreams a reality, then I believe we can really start to set our own agenda and start living into the dreams we have for ourselves and our families.  Happy 2016 everyone.  Let's make this our year!
