When it comes to writing the story of your life, who would be holding the pen?
Have you had complete control over the direction your life has taken over the years?….. Or have you been influenced by someone else?
Too many people are on a path that they don’t want to be on, or are going in a direction they don’t feel is right for them.
I guess that means they are living a life chosen for them (perhaps by someone who does want that life) but not necessarily the one they want to live.
You know how it happens:
- You are influenced to take certain subjects at schools (let’s face it you don’t really know which ones you do want)
- You are expected to go on to college or Uni …it’s the ‘right thing’ to do (and anyway you don’t know what else you would do at this stage)
- Then you are under pressure to get a good result….even if you don’t like the subject
- Armed with your result, you now have to find a job….it’s not always that easy
- But , thankfully you find one. So that should be it – success at last!
- …Somehow though, it’s not quite what you wanted. Or expected.
How did you get here?
- Many years later, you’re still ‘there’ and now saddled with a rent/mortgage/responsibilities and bills to pay
- Then you realise what your dream job/life should be. Perhaps you’ve known all along.
- …..but it’s too late now. Isn’t it?
No it isn’t.
I say, it’s never too late.
Take a deep breath – and change it. Do it now.
Yes, that may be tough to do, but it’s even tougher to live a life of regret. I coach many people who are in this boat, and trust me, it’s not a happy place to be. So don’t let that be you.
Direct your own life. Hold your own pen.
This is your story, your life.
Take. Control.
