Get Out of the River
Monday, January 31st, 2011* Transcription
Thank God it’s Monday!™ How many of us are just floating? Living life aimlessly… letting the river of life take us where it pleases, and just sitting back for the ride…
Don’t get me wrong, that’s certainly nice at times, but a life lived with passion and purpose is so much better. Now where do you see yourself ten years from now? Five years from now? Next year?
You say the answers aren’t so clear? Well then, how do you think you’ll ever get there!? The good news is you can fix it. You can refocus your life quite easily—but first you must have a sense of where you are going.
So take a moment—whether you’re at the office, in the kitchen, or sitting in bed—and write out the answers to those questions. As you begin to think of the possibilities, you’ll certainly feel a rush of energy. That future can be yours. So step up, refocus, get the heck out of the river, and make it happen!
Have a great Monday!
