Do you have the life you really want? Are you working really hard in a profession you hate? When are you happy? Do you have to be with other people to be happy? Are you looking all over for answers? Is making money the only thing that drives you forward? Where is your focus?
Knowing the answers to these questions is great. You have a starting point. You know what is important to you now. If you are driven to make money, why and what is being sacrificed in the meantime? I once knew a man who was all about his business of selling other people on a product and making money for his future. Unfortunately, he became ill with cancer and died a few years ago. He was extremely driven and everyone loved him. I think though of a conversation I had with him some 15 years ago and he could not focus on anything else. In the last years of his life, his health issues drove him into doing more with his family and being spiritual. That was the person that I really saw in front of me many years ago.
Comic Characters influence our lives!
Who knows what is ahead of any of us? We are all driven to feed ourselves, to provide good housing, and be steadfast. I am no different and I want that for others. I think of my father-in-law who I loved dearly. He worked really hard and after several heart attacks, and heart surgery, he retired from business. He then enjoyed almost 15 years of life in better health and was more relaxed. I have always looked at those years as a blessing for him.
My own father also had a hard life that took a toll on his health. I look back and felt so secure on what he provided for our family. He did well in providing for us. We don’t know how great we have it as a kids. We didn’t have to work. We got most of the things we wanted and there were boundaries set up all around us to protect us. We had built in schedules and expectations. We’d gather together on Sunday afternoons for dinner and to rest. We’d receive the Sunday Chicago Tribune and read the comics. Dick Tracy and Peanuts were among them. Life was simple.
I really enjoy life without all the pressure of a job. Yes, I have a business and I enjoy trying to help people. I don’t think of it as a job; it is something I am equipped to do. I guess people would say I have a passion for it. I want that for the people I coach too. I do like to keep a schedule and be on target with goals. That is a big help!
I want you to be successful and keep your own identity. I want you to blossom. That is why I coach business people and counsel on a regular basis. Think about why you do what you do and what you’d like to do differently.
