Do you know what you want your life to look like?

Have you ever taken a moment to honestly think about how you want your life to be? Most of us are too busy surviving to dream, plan, and create our desired life. So, we just go with the flow and drift through our days, weeks, and years.

We never really enjoy life because we feel stuck in survival mode. Barely getting by creates a lot of stress. If we continue in this pattern, we might become sick, depressed, or numb to it all. This way of life steals our joy. But there is another way to live.

It is possible to live an inspired, intentional life.

But it’s not easy. Living inspired and intentionally requires breaking the patterns holding us back. If we do the things other people do, we will probably get similar results. Therefore, we need to break cycles that hold us back. And pay attention to who we are spending time with and acting like.

If we spend time with people who call into work all the time and don’t take their attendance seriously, we will start doing the same things. If we spend time with people who never call in, we will be the same way. We act according to what we believe to be acceptable.

Sometimes, we have to draw a line in the sand and raise our standards.

We are not stuck. God gave us all the freedom of choice. We can decide right now that we want a completely different life and start taking the necessary steps to get there. With so much information on the internet, we have access to systems that can help us create a plan.

The first step is to figure out what we want. Then, we can work to get there. Whatever we desire is possible. We just have to work towards it. Setting goals and having dreams makes us feel good. It helps us to take responsibility for our lives.

We can’t help our past, but we can improve our future by taking responsibility for our lives and letting go of the victim mindset. Don’t allow the past to ruin the present or future.

Sweet friend, you deserve an amazing, beautiful life. The only thing standing in your way is the excuses you believe. God can help us with our excuses, limiting beliefs, and the lies we are thinking. He can help us overcome anything, take our lives to the next level, and learn how to thrive.
