Issues Under Fire: Your Life!

Issues Under Fire: Your Life!

Every now and then its a good idea to take an honest assessment of your life and how you're living it. If not, you might find yourself just going with the flow, without knowing where the flow is going. It might be a good idea to sit down alone in a quite space and do a complete review of where you are in your life, how you got there and determine if that's where you want to be.

If you are satisfied with where you are in life, you either had a plan and stuck to it, had a good idea and made it work, got good advice from trusted sources or, just plain got lucky. But if you're not satisfied with where you are in your life, it might be a good idea to ask why. A good place to start, is at the beginning of your life and see if you a can spot where things went wrong.

If after carefully examining the course of your life, you honestly fail to find any obvious wrong tuns or blatant indiscretions that would justify bad karma, you might want to expand your examination into the lives of those closest to you. If it ain't you, its got to be those around you. More about that later. 

In America, most people are given a script to follow. That script is designed to lead you to the American dream. If you go to school and get a good education, that'll lead to a successful career, a beautiful family, living in beautiful home in the suburbs, with a short commute to your work or place of business. That's the life. That's the dream! That's the script. 

Unfortunately, everybody don't get the same script. Hey, life ain't fair. Still, others wouldn't or couldn't follow the script it if they did. No matter what the case, if you're not satisfied with where you are in life, you need to write a new script for yourself. This is something only you can do, because its your life. You might want to consult with a few trusted sources, but ultimately, its all on you. Allowing too much external input and you'll be living someone else's dream. That could be what's wrong now!

When writing that script, it might be a good idea to keep it simple and focus on what makes you happy. This is critical. Any script you write for your life should be a happy one.  After all, if you're dissatisfied with where you are in your life, you can't possibly be happy.

It might also be a good idea to clearly identify what makes you unhappy. This is critical. Any script you write for your life should eliminate all the things that make you unhappy. Be honest here, sometimes the things that make you unhappy are friends and family.

In many cases, it is family and family at the root of one's dissatisfaction with one's life. If friends and family are negatively impacting your life, you'll have to write them off and out of your life as soon as possible. And never look back.

If those so-called friends and family couldn't see your dissatisfaction and unhappiness then what good are they. Perhaps, they're just as dissatisfied with their lives as you are with yours. If that's the case, you could be locked in a daisy chain of a misery loves company.  

Bottom line: Considering you only have one life to live, if you think it sucks, shouldn't be doing something about it? Podcast Below!
