Are you getting nowhere in life and you find
emptiness all round? Do not complain and do not despair. Nobody owes you a
living and you have to find your own way to live your life. Here are the steps
you can take to lead a meaningful life:
1.
Know what you want in life: Look
for your dreams and find your passion. There must be something in life that
attracts you and inspire you. Not to worry about the journey ahead of you
because according to Napoleon Hill, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe,
it can achieve.” The most
important thing is to ignite the fire in you to take action and make changes. Since
five years ago in 2007, I found out I have wanted to be a blogger/writer and I
have not given up my dream. With each
passing day, my passion for blogging grows stronger.
Nothing happens
unless first we dream. ~ Carl Sandburg
2. Focus:
Write down the one important goal in your life. Look at it every day so that
you will stay focused and not get distracted. Your goal will remind you
constantly what you need to do to realize your dreams. You will find happiness,
satisfaction and fulfillment when you think and work on your goal.
3. Build
confidence: When you pay attention to your work, you will avoid worrying about
the future or allowing the past to haunt you. Doing the right things will
promote your self-esteem and build self-confidence. The key to success is your
positive thoughts that you can do it to get what you want in life.
Let go of the
past and go for the future. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you imagined. ~ Henry David Thoreau
4. Working
on it every day: Success is hard work. You know what to do and you just got to
do it every day with concentration. It should not be a problem because your
passion, focus and confidence will excite you every morning when you wake up. I write an article a day and it has become a
habit of mine.
5. Challenge
setbacks in life positively: Life can be challenging and exciting. React to
negative events with a positive frame of mind. Be creative and think of ways to
overcome obstacles.
6. Congratulate
yourself for each step of your success: It is a slow process for me in
blogging, but with each small victory and success I am motivated to carry on
with much enthusiasm. You do the same with what you do. Measure your
performance and be delighted when you are on the right track and making
progress.
7. Keep
learning and be skillful: I started blogging with no knowledge of the Internet
because I am a baby boomer. It does not deter me from going after what I want
to do. I just learn and learn and I get better with each passing day because I
am willing to learn continuously.
A man is not
old until regrets take the place of dreams.
~ John Barrymore
8. Looking
forward in life with hope, determination and perseverance: When there is
something to look forward to in life, there is hope. The way to go forward in
life is to live with determination and perseverance to achieve your dreams.
Every
great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the
strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the
world. ~Harriet Tubman
