How is your energy level? Feeling good about what you are doing? Have a little love for that thing you call life?

Are you doing what you love or are you doing something you could just as easily give up? Are you dreaming about doing something different with your life?

Okay, let’s say you are not doing exactly what you want, but the money is good and you can take a vacation every once in a while. That’s all well and good, but what are you really dreaming of? Who do you really want to be?

You would be amazed at the number of people who I come into contact with who are just counting down the days to when they can retire. Or they hate their job, but they don’t want to quit because they don’t want to have to find another job, or even worse do something hard.

Staying where they are, as much as they hate it, creates a certain stability for them in their lives.

They don’t like the people that they work with, they don’t care about the company, it’s just a paycheck until they retire or stumble into a new job. Of course they are not looking for a new job, and that retirement will happen whether they are ready for it or not.

These people do not have a vision of a future for themselves. Or for the few that do, they have a vision but it is only a dream that they really aren’t planning for.

They don’t do any extra work or take any extra risk to make their dreams come true. They don’t have an organized plan, and they have no energy to create their dreams because they really don’t know how to make their dreams a reality, or worse yet they are just too lazy.

I hate to say this, but in my humble opinion, negative people are lazy. It is easier to be negative than try to do something different with your life.

Heaven forbid you should embark on an adventure! Let’s walk through life as easily as possible; let’s make sure that we aren’t doing anything hard or dangerous.

What can we do to change this? Here are my tips for making the love and energy for life work for you:

Do what you have to do in order to get to a specific goal. If you are at a job that you don’t like, save some money and start to make plans to open your own business or be able to leave that job to start something new. Or start an active job search for new work. Quit complaining … it only stops you from achieving what you want.

Be supportive of yourself, and if you don’t get support from the people around you, drop them. You may have to work with some people who are not supportive, and that’s okay. Just make sure you have a plan to move yourself forward. I know that even now I have people that I need to move forward from, because we don’t have the same values or understandings.

Develop your insight into what is good for you. You need to discriminate what is intelligent and logical for your life. You must be aware of your own character for success. Understand the facts as they apply to you, and do what you can do that is good for you.

Develop your potential and qualities for your improvement. This is your evolution of gradually unfolding a plan of change for yourself so that you may have more than just a state of existence.

Gain the education, knowledge, skill, and competence that will allow you to move forward and accomplish all of the dreams that you can turn into reality.

Commitment to this kind of process for continual growth will make your love and energy for life work to give you the future you deserve.
