A lot of people go through life complaining about lack, they hate their jobs, they're broke, they're out of shape, they don't have the life they want... Have you heard this from your friends and co-workers? Are you saying some of these very things? Guess what? I hate to break it to you, but, your life is the way it is, because that's how you like it and want it to be! How many of you go to work, come home, eat unhealthy food, watch three to six hours of television, go to bed, sleep poorly then get up the next day, day after day and do the same thing. Week after week, month after month, year after year. You make way less than you spend, you can't remember the last time you exercised, and yet go on and on about how there just isn't enough time to get it all done. SMH, now do you seriously have to wonder why you have the life you have?
Your life is the way it is because that's the way you choose to live it!
Now most of you will argue that this is not true, that you want to be healthy, wealthy, and happy. No you don't! No, seriously you don't! Stop lying to yourself and others! Because if you really wanted to be healthy, wealthy, and happy you would have those things.
The sad truth is that you really don't want those things, at least not enough to do what you need to do in order to get them. Now here's a secret... these things are not going to manifest themselves in your life! If you want money - do the things you need to do to earn it, hmmm now does that sound a little like WORK? Shocking isn't it! Now, here is a novel idea, why don't you sit down and write out a plan for every area of your life? Do you know that most people spend more time planning their weekends than they do planning the rest of their lives?
Seriously, what kind of house do you want? How much savings would you like to have in your account? What kind of car would you like to drive? How much do you want to weigh? Where do you want to go on vacation? Do you have a college savings account for your kids? No? Why not? Most likely you haven't even seriously thought about these things - these are not your priorities.
You can always tell what important to a person by two things, where they spend their time and money. Those things they spend their money and time are their priorities!
Want to change your life? Do this: Pull out a sheet of paper and write down exactly what you want your life to look like. Go into detail, paint a picture with your words. Then focus on these things every day. Add to your list as needed. This is not about setting goals or the "secret" this is about priority setting.
Now that you have your list, take action on your priorities, do what needs to be done to get the things on that list, spend you time, your money, your effort on YOUR PRIORITIES! Talk about them with your friends and family... then and only then can you be healthy, wealthy and happy. Create your life by focusing on your priorities.
