Take Charge Before It's Too Late

We all want to live happy, productive lives. Lives full of excitement or at least fullfilling in some way or another. The problem with most folks is that they don't know how to go about living that life. So what do they do? They go from job to job looking for the answer to their quest. Or they settle in a lifestyle that is at best frustrating or boring. You may know of people like that.They are the kind of person who makes fun of everyone who does something special in life. They are critical, sourpusses that most people really don't like being around. Then there's the person who is always depressed and makes it their lifes mission to take as many people as possible down that slippery slope of misery with them. You know the old saying. "Misery loves company"? Well that saying probably was coined to describe the person who isn't living up to their potential in life.

Well, I want to help you to not become a person like that. If you want to become a successful person in life, then there are some crucial things that you are going to have to do and not tomorrow but today. I can guarantee that if you just do half of these things that you are going to see a marked change in your life in a positive direction.

First of all is that you need to begin to take a real hard look at yourself and admit that you are in a rut in life. You know what a rut is don't you? It is a coffin with the ends kicked out of it. And if you don't change your life today you might as well consider yourself dead to everyone else.

Next, you must write down some goals on where you want to be tomorrow, 3 months from now and 5 years from today. If you can't visualize where you want to be, then how are you ever going to know what you are shooting for. A wise man said, " If you shoot for the stars and miss it is better than if you shoot for crap and hit it."

Next find a mentor that can help you get to where you want to go. Many of us are tempted to call upon our old friends. You know, the ones we've been wallowing in the muck of life for many years. But I am going to suggest that you seek out wise counsel from an industry leader or someone who you admire and is willing to teach you.

Finally, get up off the couch, from off the computer or the idiot box and get back into the game of life. This crucial that you start putting you plan into action. Without action you can have all the best ideas and hopes in the world and still fail. You have to put your plans and ideas into motion.
