If we are honest with ourselves, most of us can recall a time when we felt we could conquer the world. The innocence of childhood — a euphoria that makes us feel like we could do anything — become someone remarkable and make a difference in the world. If you look into the eyes of a child and you can almost see the magic. The fantasies, hopes and dreams have no boundries! The limitations we encounter in life are primarily self-imposed. What happens to our passion? … Life … In the process of life, most of us face obstacles, pain and loss that mold our frame of reference and douse the fire in our soul. If you can find a spark, a dream, you can ignite your fire. How great would it be to wake up every day excited and passionate about what the day may bring?
People are not destined to become compliant and accept what life throws at them. Anyone can take a wrong turn or get lost for a while, but when you find yourself in a place you don’t want to be … MOVE. Take action! When a child is lost, everyone is frantic to find him, but as an adult you have to take responsibility to find yourself or you may stay lost forever.
Remember others are just like you, facing hurt, fear, loss and disappointment. It’s human nature to become focused on your own life, but don’t get lost in the notion that you are somehow different to justify the walls you build. Those walls don’t keep others out, they keep you locked inside and limit your relationships, your career and your future. Those protective walls can syphon the passion from your life.
“The measure of your success usually comes down to who wins the battle that rages between the two of you. The “you” who wants to take it easy and the “you” who chooses to beat back what stands in the way of your success”complacency. Whatever it takes, commit completely to your goals and success will follow. Zig Ziglar
You are living the one life you have been given and your chance to live it well is now.
