A better way

Ask yourself this question: "Is the life I have today all that I want it to be?" If the answer is YES, then continue to do what contributes to that condition. If the answer is NO, then ask yourself what is missing. Ask yourself whose life you are living. Are you being authentic, living life according to your purpose or is who you are and what you do determined by others? Do you desire a better way of life? Thousands of years ago Aristotle advised us that knowing ourselves was the beginning of wisdom. When you know yourself you can start to plan a better way of living. If you are unsure of who you are, begin by listing your highest qualities. Then identify five people who you believe are closest to you and list five qualities that they demonstrate on a consistent basis. Now compare the two lists. What do they tell you? Use this information to decide how much of you is coming through and how much is about what you do to fit in. Then decide if there is a better way that will lead to more joy and fulfillment in your life. If today is not supplying you with having the life you desire, what can you do to redesign it to live a better way?
