Is “A Dream Life” Possible?
Does this describe your current situation?…
Your cubicle/office job gives a paycheck, but no fulfillment.
Your “work at home” business gives you flexibility, but no joy.
Your unemployment gives you more time off, but no income.
You want “a life.” A life that includes meaningful work. Time to focus on the things that matter most to you. You want to make a difference.
It’s possible. It takes work.
A statement that encourages me, guilts me, ticks me off, and inspires me…
My life is where it is right now because of the daily choices I’ve made.
Ooftah.
So how do we move from where we are to where we want to be?
It starts with taking one step, making one choice, that gets us closer to “A Life.”
An earlier posting by Paul DeBettignies was just the shot in the arm that I needed this weekend. What Price would you pay for your Dream Job offers a great suggestion for moving in the right direction…
Write your own job description. Figure out what you really, really want. And then identify what the price tag is. Evaluate.
Here are 4 steps to get you re-focused and re-energized:
1. Read Paul’s posting – noodle on it.
2. Write your job description. Create your vision board. Get clear on what you really, really want.
3. Make a list of what it will take to get you there. Then you aren’t surprised when the hard work comes along.
4. Do one thing that gets you closer to “A Life.”
Here are some general ideas for getting started:
~~ Create healthier boundaries
~~ Ask for help
~~ Identify (and execute!) your daily 3 high-value activities ala Mark LeBlanc
~~ Plan your work and work your plan
~~ Eliminate the stuff that just takes up time and space
~~ Get a coach
~~ Etc.
You and I are creating our lives by the choices we make. It’s up to us to create “a life.” Let’s make it a dream life.
