We all have a numbered amount of days on earth. It seems that a common theme is “living your best life” and “YOLO” – you only live once – but even with that said, it amazes me how many people continue to live with things that don’t make them happy.
The mundane topics that people complain about are usually things that you can do something about. You don’t like your job – look for a new one, you don’t like your body – try your best to achieve those fitness goals, you don’t like your house – put away extra money to renovate.
It may take some time, but the waiting game is so much easier when you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. It is exciting to see your account get larger when saving for something fun. I honestly feel like the process of achieving those goals is half of the exhilaration. It feels good to complete mini steps on the journey to reach that big goal.
What I am getting at is, life is short on earth, and it is definitely too short to be unhappy with the life you are living. While many things are out of our control, there are things that we do have control over.
Don’t let fear of failure or lack of drive stop you from taking the leap. Good things are usually scary and that is because you care about it and want to do well. Instead of doubting yourself, envision yourself not only achieving your goals, but excelling in them. You are the only one who can make the change.
