Month: December 2018

As the year comes to a close, it is a time where individuals review what they have accomplished this past year & what they want to plan to accomplish next year.  This process is important as everyone needs closure on the past & hope for the future.  So…..where in the world are we?

The business world is changing at an alarming speed, but that is old news. We all know that change is the only constant in the universe.  So where in the world are we? Good Question.  A question which individuals dealing with change often ask themselves. 

A better question is where in the world do we want to be?  To answer that question ask yourselves the following:

• What is more important to you… Time vs. Money?
• Do you want to work for someone or be your own boss?
• Do you need or want to stay local?

These are the first questions you need to answer.  Not what job do you want, not how much you want or need to make.  You ask these questions after answering the questions above.  Why you ask? The questions above are lifestyle questions. If you answer these questions first, then it gives you an initial direction. Once you have that initial direction, the other questions you ask and answer are easier to answer…. 

So Where In The World Are We?…. We Will Be Where We Choose To Be….. 

Choosing a life less traveled is a choice.  Choosing a life less traveled creates opportunity. Choosing a life less traveled is difficult.  Choosing a life less traveled is a choice to be made again. 

As an individual, we are the sum of our experiences.  No two people view everything the same. Just look at identical twins.  

When making life choices, they are based on the sum of your previous experiences. Either decisions to avoid past experiences or decisions to build on your past experiences.  What is most important is to take the time to decide how you view those experiences & how you will act on them. 

As an individual, we make choices & then live with those choices.  In life, we actually don’t control most of our life.  Life can take away our family, friends, home, etc… The only thing we control is our integrity. It can’t be taken from us, we can only give it away. 

Today, the average person will have 7+ jobs in there careers.  Some times these changes are self imposed changes & sometimes not. Either way,  when it happens, we need to take the time to evaluate our past choices and each choice is a chance to make changes.  

So whether you choose to take the road less traveled or a more traditional path, just remember that you actually only have control over on thing.  Your integrity and your integrity is a life choice, everything else is temporary. 

Wouldn’t it be nice if life was as easy as reading the back of a package & following a recipe.  The internet is rife with blogs, vlogs, self help this & personal development that.  The biggest problem in life is that we normally don’t know what we need when we need it.  Instead, we spend our time surfing the internet wanting to be inspired. 

This article is a classic example in and of itself.  Someone, someday will read this & they will get inspired.   Will it be the words typed on this page? Will it be an ad which is in-bedded into the words?  More likely it will because the mind of the individual was ready to act on what it was experiencing at that moment. 

Individuals with kids know exactly what was said above. You give the same direction to your children over & over & over again until your about to go crazy & then it happens. Your children start doing what you have been asking.  Is it because of how you said it, where you said, when you said it? More likely, it was because the brain of the child was finally ready to hear & act on what it heard.   

So what does it all mean. More specifically, how does this pertain to this article & this website. The answer is that if you find your way to this website, read an article, comment on a post or click on an ad, all your life issues won’t be solved. 

What you may find is real knowledge from real efforts in the real world & if one word, one sentence, one paragraph helped….your time has been well spent. 

So remember instructions are great, but there is no one set of instructions for everyone.  Everyone has different tastes which means they use different ingredients & lastly… no two recipes are the same.  Good Luck.
