Most of us have two lives

“Most of us have two lives.  The life we live and the unlived life within us.”

                                                                                                                       Steven Pressfield          

     This quote is meant to be a self-check for you to think about the life that you are living.  Is it the life that you want to live?  For far too many of us the answer is no. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean things aren’t happening just the way they should be.  If you aren’t living the life that you want, have you sat down and acknowledged that fact.  Have you set a goal to live that life that you want?  Have you put in a process to review you plans and actions to meet that goal?  Are you showing progress?  

    All of those questions are great ones to ask and answer.  Life is a journey.  It is meant to be a beautiful journey full of ups and downs with the ultimate destination of you ending up exactly where you want to be.  Your responsibility is to define that destination and do the work to get there. That work is something that you must do and you must do alone.  One of the most basic things you must do is to acknowledge your desires so that they can become goals.  You need to take the time to write them down.  Once they are written down and acknowledge you then need to add the 3 mindsets below.  Without them you will find it very difficult to achieve your goals.  

The 3 mindsets are: 

                 1.         Have faith you will get there. 

                 2.         Have the expectation to get there. 

                 3.         Look at every obstacle as a learning experience to help you achieve your goals.

      If you don’t do the 3 things above you will be creating resistance that will keep you from getting to your desired destination.  That resistance will ultimately be the reason you don’t make it.  If you have resistance, find it and remove it.  Having the mindsets above will help you remove that resistance.  They are simple to do but they take commitment.  Luckily you are well equipped to be committed.  You were born to live the life of your dreams.  You have the ability to create the life of your dreams because everything you need is already within you.  Ask your self the questions above and if you don't like the answers you know what to do.  I wish you the best and as always, enjoy the journey!
