Let's take a look at a few of the common issues you may be struggling with:
Problem 1: Poor Decisions
You often look back on your life and wonder, "How would my life be if I didn't make that decision?" You are living in the what if...zone that causes you to become frustrated. You have no idea how you got to where you are today!
It appears you just woke up and there you were in this life that is unfulfilling. The truth is you chose that life for yourself. You may not be able to see it but you did! You need to ask yourself, "Why did I pick that life and how can I change it?"
Here's a wake up note...not making a choice is making a choice. You just chose not to do anything, which is a choice. Now can you see how you could end up living an unfulfilled life?
Problem 2: Lack of Direction/Purpose
Here's another wake up note...if you think focusing on a financial goal and achieving it is called having a "sense of direction" then you are sadly mistaken.
Just look around you...there are thousands of miserable people who are wealthy! Obviously, money in itself is not the answer.
What you need to ask yourself is, "How can I live a meaningful life while living comfortable and not focusing on money? And how will I get there?" I can promise you it will not be an easy journey but well worth the effort.
Problem 3: Low Self-Esteem
Do you walk around feeling people don't like you? Do you get easily offended when people say things the wrong way? Do you tend to think that when someone is upset and you are around that it may be your fault?
If you answered, "Yes" to any of those then you are suffering from low self-esteem. What you need to ask yourself is, "Where did all of this begin? How can I change this?"
Problem 4: Impatience
When an individual makes uninformed choices and realize they made a mistake the immediate reaction is to attempt to get quick results. This is to make up for the lost time!
Often you find when you are impatient and make quick decisions you end up paying for it in ways you've never thought of such as:
- Hurting others
- Hurting yourself
- Wasting more time
- Wasting money
- And much more
If you find yourself becoming impatient then rest assure you are about to make a huge mistake you will regret if you don't slow down.
Problem 5: Settle for Less
Ask yourself, "Have I settled for the life I live?" The answer is,"Yes" if you are unhappy or not where you desire to be! Deny it if you like but if you haven't made a consistent effort to change then you are happy where you are!
You are so used to settling that you wouldn't know what you deserved if it kicked you in the face. Don't feel bad as you are not alone! I was there for a while myself; and millions of people settle and are not aware of it either!
