Since we’re on the topic of enjoying a balanced life this week, I wanted to quickly share with you a quote that I believe best summarizes this concept.
“Make life work for you!”
Whether it be work, relationships, your health or any other facet of your life, there’s always one goal in mind – make it work best for you.
- Don’t like your job? Fix it or find a new one
- Sick of a negative relationship? End it.
- Tired of the way you look in the mirror? Do something positive about it now!
Too often we fall victim to mental ruts, where we believe negative aspects of our lives are unchangeable. The process is too difficult, we lack focus, the security of a bad situation is preferrable to the scariness of an unknown one.
– Even when we know it’ll be better for us in the end.
In essence, we remain in negative situations far longer than we should and, once completed, find ourselves wondering why it took us so long to change.
Every aspect of our lives should revolve around what’s best for us – even if it means taking a step back and making sure we assist others in need first.
Huh? How can putting others ahead of us equate to making every moment work in our favor?
Simple. The positive feelings we earn from helping others is one of the greatest any person will enjoy. World-renowned motivational speaker Tony Robbins often is quoted “The secret to living is giving.”
The idea here is to decide what it is in life that you truly can’t live without. For each of us, that list will differ. Then make sure each and every effort you make is geared toward achieving those goals.
If there’s anything I could ever promise, it’s that: Taking that first step and experiencing your first sense of success toward fulfilling a key life goal will provide a feeling of excitement that’s almost unmatchable.
Those who are successful live their lives this way. Those who are enjoying life, live their lives this way. Those whom you often find yourself envying, live their lives this way.
The only question is, can you say the same for yourself?
Make today better than yesterday, but not as great as tomorrow!
