Give Yourself The Best Gift
In my experiences of just living and talking to different people, I’ve found that many of us don’t feel like we can have the life or the things we want in life. A lot of people don’t know what they want, and if they do, they either don’t know how to go about getting it or they feel its outside of their reach. So, they convince themselves they can’t have it. They say it’s too hard, I can’t, or this person or that person won’t give it to me; they won’t let me get ahead. They hold someone else responsible for the one thing they are responsible for, which is their life.
Some convince themselves that maybe things are fine the way they are. They don’t believe things can be better. So, they do what they’ve always done, what they know to do, and sometimes that’s nothing.
Others settle instead for a façade, a form, or unreal version of life that they think will make them appear happy, successful, or whatever they want people to believe about them. They put a lot of energy into creating that façade and keeping up with it, never really realizing that they can indeed have the real or true version of the life that they want.
I think they get lost in the fantasy and before they know it, years have passed, and they are no better off or no further along than they were when they first started. Eventually, it starts to settle in that they are indeed not happy. They want to do something different, but still don’t feel like they can, or know how.
So, ask yourself: what do I really want this Christmas, this upcoming year, or in this season? I’m not talking about the car, or the bag, or any other superficial gift. What do you want out of life? Now ask yourself why can’t I have that? Why can’t I have a better life, better relationships, a home, a better job, freedom, peace, happiness, better health, or whatever it is that you want?
I don’t know what excuse (or reason) immediately came to mind, but if you continue to believe that excuse, give it power, and make it the end of your story, you will have just what you say.
It’s hard to have what you desire if:
§ You believe you don’t deserve it,
§ You don’t know what to do to get it, or
§ You feel its outside of your reach.
Listen to me. I am a witness. You can have and enjoy your life, and the things that you really want in life. There’s only one thing for sure that you have to do to get it. That is to define what it is that you want and decide that you want it. Yes, DEFINE IT and DECIDE that you want it.
Regardless of what it is, you were meant to have and enjoy your life in abundance. Many of us are not enjoying life because we have no idea what we are doing or even want to do.
Once you know or have a clear idea of what you want, it’s much easier to actually move in the direction to obtain it. Once you make the decision about what you want, put a plan in motion! For some of us, this might mean you have to acknowledge and appreciate what you already have; gain a new perspective. For others, it might mean you have to work at it; work for what you want. You may have to make some minor changes or some major changes, but the biggest change is probably going to be in your mind.
How long are you going to believe the excuses, be complacent, and not enjoy your life and the things that you really want? Today can be the last day. Consider what you really want and decide right now that you’re going for it. Silence the fear and excuses that may rise up. Fear or excuses has no power over you, only the power that you give it, and you can always take that back, when you decide, and do it anyway.
Have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season, and give yourself a great gift. Define what it is that you really want and make a decision to go for it.
