Don’t Get Distracted!

family 021

.!. Finding out what you want out of life and what to do with your life can be a bit challenging. While you may have an *idea* of the things that you want to accomplish, you must take great care to ensure that you stay on course, stay focused, stay tied to your goals and work diligently towards what it is that you want to do and where you want to go. John Tucker Must Die the movie For a good portion of my adult life, I've always done the things that OTHER people have wanted me to do. I've tried out for basketball because they did, I've joined different clubs, volunteered for various organizations, ate at their favorite restaurant...all sorts of accommodations that take me completely out of my comfort zone and into the other person's world. As long as they were happy, I figured I'd be too.

That includes my business goals, educational goals, social status and even when and how I want to relax. I'm not so interested anymore in the feelings or desires of others, but more into what makes me happy and what makes me tick. Mouth hanging open yet? Yeah, thought so.

You cannot keep helping others and totally neglecting yourself. I am not advocating NOT helping your neighbor, but what I am saying is that when it takes you completely out of the place where you want to and should be, then you've got problems. Major ones, no doubt. For me, I have to stay focused if I want to grow my writing and speaking business. I cannot afford to delve into a completely different industry for promises of "fame and wealth" if that is not where I want to or need to be. I absolutely love writing and speaking and would do if even if I didn't get paid (well, sorta) but for me to go into any other industry for quick riches would be doing myself a disservice. Booty Call movie download download Dirty Rotten Scoundrels dvd I also had to realize that helping others doesn't always necessarily mean totally neglecting myself or what I want. YOU DON'T NEED to live vicariously through the eyes of another person or a set of ideals. Be you and do a good job of it. Life is so much happier when you feel accomplished AND can help others. It's called balance and the good Lord advocates it in scripture: Proverbs 11:1. When we are out of balance in any area of our lives, we are unhappy, confused and not at peace. This is not the life we live to pursue. Seabiscuit download I completely re-commit myself on a daily basis to stay balanced by helping others, serving others AND meeting my own goals. Yes, some days it is a real challenge, but I realize that I cannot get distracted nor can I afford to go off course. There is much to be done and if I'm going to get to some of it, I've got to pay attention. Are you?
