Where is your vehicle taking you?

When I think of a vehicle I associate it with a job, or money making endeavor. Normally when you think about a vehicle you think about a car, transportation. Well that's exactly why the two go hand in hand. Your current vehicle will take you to your next, which will take you to the next, and so on. It will last as long as it needs to, and in order to get you to that next point in your life.

If we are not focused on the purpose of the vehicle we can lose focus and get caught up in all the workplace issues, like complaining to just complain about your wages, or work being to difficult . But if we realize that it provides a need, and when we give real effort, it's only a matter of time before the next opportunity, or vehicle. Jobs are meant to provide an income in order to survive, quite often that's exactly what they do provide barely enough to survive.

If you are working in a field that has nothing to do with something your passionate about then you are wasting your time. Time is our most valuable possession so I encourage you to make the most of yours. Pursue your interests, quite often opportunities arise just from the pursuit.  More importantly it's so much easier to be happy when you wake up if you know that you get to do what you love all day long.

So where's your vehicle taking you? Are you headed down the dead-end road or even worse are you going up a one-way street? I would like to believe that most people are at least somewhat interested in what they do for a living, but when they realize they don't love it, they trap themselves by thinking it would be too difficult to change.

Change is as hard as you make it. It can be difficult or it can be easy. It will always be somewhat intimidating to take on a challenge, but only before you begin. How many times in your life were you petrified of something, but once you start, you quickly realize that it was no where close to your initial fear.  No monsters popped out of the closet, that flu wasn't fatal, and 90% percent of the time our worries never happen.

Mark Twain was famous for saying "I've had thousands of problems in my life, 90% of them never happened."

So look at your vehicle, does it cause you to be angry or frustrated even stressed out or is it as though u are living a dream, your purpose for being on this planet.  I can speak from experience that waking up to a dream everyday is the way everyone should live, and it's as simple as making the right choice. Taking a chance on yourself, and learning what makes you tick.

When you know your values in life, it helps you realize your purpose or vision. They are directly related. Your vision will be supported by those values. So what are your three biggest values? To give you an idea mine are 1. Passion - when you are passionate about what you do it no longer becomes work, life is about having fun!
2. Courage - willing to step outside the box, facing fear head-on and acting in spite of fear.
3. Freedom - I like to do things my way, and having the freedom of working for myself.
This list goes on but those are the top three that play a direct factor in my life's work. I love to help people and those values help me keep focused when those tough situations arise where people don't want help. They also help me stay focused and provide the help to those that not only need it but really want it.

I didn't just wake up one day and everything was clear, it took some time and effort to truly realize the impact of my thoughts on my actions and my results. When you have the power to control all of them, life becomes a lot easier to manage. Remember, the more you manage what you got, the more likely you are to receive more. The universe is very giving but if you don't appreciate what you have, it will not give you more.

So smile because today is the first day of the rest of your life. you are in control, and your power of positive thinking will transform your life into exactly what you want and deserve it to be.

Here's to your success!
