Recognize that you can't possibly do everything, and you can't be all things to all people. Remove from your life those material things, practices and relationships that are no longer aligned with your goals. That includes people who drag you down, who you spend time with out of sheer obligation, who prey on your good nature, or who pull you back into bad habits when you're trying to change. New opportunities you never imagined will rush in to fill that space.
You'll find it much easier to focus on those things that truly matter to you, and those dreams you're determined to make come true. If you're clear on your Purpose, you'll also find it much easier to keep fresh clutter out of your life.
We need to continually reassess our lives because we often let those things back into our lives that pull us down.
YOU are responsible for yourself. Responsible for what you do. Responsible for who you are. Responsible for the way you face the world and deal with it. You aren't a victim of your childhood or your past or your circumstances--unless you choose to be.
It's not easy. Nothing worthwhile is. But it DOES get easier if you're clear about your purpose and you embrace it with passion.
The actions you take to solve a particular problem or to make a change in your life break down into two categories: direct actions and indirect actions. Indirect actions are things that require the cooperation of other people. Direct actions, are actions that you can take right now.
When it comes to setting goals, all or almost all the steps you take toward your goal should be based on direct actions.
Dreams aren't bestowed from above. You have to reach out and take them. All it requires is hard work, strategy and the determination to see it through.
We are all unique in our personalities and behavior patterns, and no one knows better than us what we have a passion for. Therefore, it behooves you to take control of your life, find your passion, and pursue it relentlessly.
Some people have a passion for entrepreneurship, while others, work better with others making the decisions for them in the workplace because they've feared taking on total responsibility when it comes to making decisions.
This is why it is very important to know yourself and your natural behavioral style. When you let someone else make your employment decisions for you, you will end up living their lives, or you will resent them pointing you in the wrong direction when it comes to a long-term career.
I grew up in an era when women had few opportunities when it came to employment. They were encouraged to go into teaching or secretarial schools. During this era, you had many teachers who were there for the pay rather than helping students reach their potential. These teachers didn't want to be there, therefore, many of their students were not inspired or encouraged to set higher goals for themselves.
Today women have a wider range of opportunities when it comes to employment and have even chosen self-employment as an option for themselves. This gives them the opportunity for flexi time, so they can multitask and take care of their families without being guilty.
Everyone has dreams as children of what they want to be when they grow up. It is up to their parents to guide them, without reliving their lives through their children. This becomes very tricky, because if the theory is a poor communicator, they become very dictatorial, rather than discussing the future with the children, or asking them for their opinion.
When the parent is a good communicator and understand how to guide their child effectively, the child will grow up well-rounded and be able to make the right decisions for themselves. There should always be parenting classes for adults that help them learn to communicate with their children effectively and helped him mature as adults.
Society still have a long way to go to understand how to help adults be good parents to their children! Learning starts in the home early before the child even answers. Received a formal education. Not only will parents but the school systems have to reinvent the education system to help children grow up to be responsible adults in today's society.
