What Do You Want in Life?
Some would call following this advice faith - I call it happiness...
"You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want." ~ Zig Ziglar
Everything I've found myself pouring time, energy and passion into recently has these 3 things in common: I'm creating, I'm using skills that come easy to me so I excel in them and they offer solutions to people so they can realize their own goals.
Other than parenting. LOL...
Yes there was some creation there for sure, but now she's the boss and creates her own reality that I find myself being a mere player in. I'm trying, but when it comes to parenting skills I'm not quite sure I've read (meaning: audio book) the right manual yet! It's a challenge for sure and I'll keep at it. Sort of have to. You can't just quit your job when you're a parent! Hopefully in the end my hubby and I will have done well enough. :) Am I offering solutions to help her realize her goals? Every day. Sometimes she recognizes this and other times "she knows better" and I let her work through it on her own - which is what we all need sometimes.
I'd say that most of the people that I help in my business(es) have done just that. They've taken a stab at working through a problem on their own and decided it was more than they could or wanted to invest their time and brain energy in. They wanted to understand what it took to do what was needed and through that effort they decided even though they could do it, they didn't want to spend their time doing it – OR in many other cases, they still don't understand it. It's just not in their wheelhouse of proficiencies. They tried. It humbled them. Now to find help...
So I'll continue to create, focus on my own universe given talents and help as many people as possible in my corner of the world here in Horizon West

And if this bit of Zig wisdom holds any water, everything I want (whether I realize it or not) will come to be.
What are you doing today to get what you want in life? :)
