A Better Life

What does a better life mean to you? It most likely depends on who you are, what you value, and love. It’s living a meaningful life that includes relationships and experiences you cherish. It’s living the dream. Most of us don’t live the dream because of fear. Sometimes we perceive a compelling murmur but without even a slight hesitancy continue along the wrong path moving in the wrong direction. Are we attentive to the signs and signals? The uncanny part is we see the signs but for whatever reason continue in denial. Intuition whispers: Are you going to stop, to look around you, and perhaps take a moment to catch your breath? No. Sadly, it looks as though you’ve convinced yourself to continue along the path to nowhere.

We stay in bad situations because we can’t see a way out. Blinded by false beliefs. Now, why is that? The door is right in front of you and all you have to do is open it and walk through it. But it’s what’s behind the door. The open door that introduces a world of discovery or a door we fear as being the unknown. We fear what we have yet to discover. We believe we won’t survive. However, what if I tell you… you will survive; you will succeed, and you will prosper. Change leads to a better place. Better than before, better than where you find yourself now… stuck.

CHOOSE TO WIN, WRITE A BETTER STORY

In due course, snapping out of the condition we find ourselves in, realizing we create our story. The life we lead is the one we created. We chose these people, this place, and the experience. We determine whether to take charge and control what aspect of our circumstances requires change. You allow what happens. You permit how people treat you. By taking charge, you set boundaries and parameters around your life, managing what is acceptable and what isn’t. You choose. To win or lose is a choice. To open the door or keep it closed is up to you. You can even avoid the door altogether and just pretend the exit doesn’t exist. But it does. And living in denial is a falsehood, which leads to regret resulting in unhappiness.

BETTER LIFE… LEARN, LOVE, LEAD

Time is of the essence. Everyone requires a time-out, to recover, heal, and recoup. Listen to the inner dialogue and the story being revealed. Walk in enlightenment. Move with love toward hope, peace, and harmony to find happiness, because you won’t find it in the conflict, in the drama, or in the discord. Salvage what good remains when engaging reality and stop long enough to ask the essential question. What must I learn? We ask and we wait for the answer. Hopeful clarity enlightens us sooner rather than later. However, why wait? Why not create the answer? You have the final say and are empowered to design a better place, a better story… a better life.
