Too often I come across those who have simply
settled with their life and feel complacent. That is a sorry story! To give up and settle in life keeps you
from experiencing your best. I
know that I want so much more and in truth we all should. Getting motivated and being willing to
stretch yourself to seek more is a natural instinct that needs to be cultivated
if it is to grow within you.
I
believe it is our birthright to be prosperous and abundant and I know that our
Creator wants us to experience great joy and inner peace, that is why I will
never give up or give into complacency.
I may be in a slow period of my life where things are not going my way
but that does not mean that that is who I am. Being stuck or not moving in the flow usually means that I
need to re-think my plan of attack and re-start my engine. No matter what life looks like right
now, I know that I have a purpose.
This is not the time to sit back and get complacent but rather a time to
get motivated, seek new opportunities and get creative. I do not want to settle
for something less than what I truly crave. Keep reminding yourself that your
Creator wants you to have abundance and joy so if that is a truth (and I
believe it is)
then what do you need to do to jump start you and begin to work towards that
goal. Just think about it, all the
world athletes and renowned entrepreneurs have had to fight the same battle. I am sure there were times when they
felt as though they were not going to make it---it was too difficult and
painful yet, they never gave up!
They may have faltered and slowed down, but only long enough to get a
second wind, but then they picked themselves up by the bootstraps and pushed
harder because they believed in their potentiality. Their strong desire to be successful and a winner was and is
the driving force that has kept them in the game.
If you
are struggling to make ends meet or simply not happy with the way your life has
turned out, remind yourself of all those possibilities that are waiting to be
embraced by you and refuse to become complacent or lazy. Living with integrity means that you
must be in your truth and the truth is that you should never settle for
something less than what you have imagined. If you can dream it and crave it, then it belongs to you.
No one ever said that the journey was going to be
easy but over and over again in my lifetime I have heard the words spoken aloud
and then within the recesses of my soul: Don’t let anyone or anything get
the best of you. You can succeed—you will succeed. As always each one of us gets to
choose what type of life we want to experience. I for one choose a life filled with abundance; that is, a
life of abundant joy, happiness, success and yes wealth. How about you?
Losses
have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of
losing. You can never get
complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It’s in any game that you’re in – a
business game or whatever – you can not get complacent.
