Create Change in your life

Everybody happily makes a ‘to do’ list for all the things they have to do that day or week, either for work or for chores that need to be done around the house, but how many people make ‘to enjoy’ lists? A list for all the things they want to enjoy that day or week, or even month. If you are someone who has never done this before, then why not for a change when you have a free 5 minutes, spend time writing out your own ‘to enjoy’ list and see what interesting activities it brings.

If you could design your ideal life, what would you do? Where would you be? Who would be with you? How would you spend your day? Have you ever wondered what your life could be like? How different it could be to what it is now? What would it be like if you were told to sit down for a few moments and design the rest of your life? Forget the past, it will be no indication of what is to come. Your future can be totally different.

Imagine you have a blank canvas, a great big piece of paper with nothing on it, all that is required is that you be prepared to imagine a life with no limitations, no thoughts of what you have or haven’t done in the past, just visions of what you would like for yourself and others in the future.

• What would your house look like?
• Where would you live?
• How would you spend your day?
• Where would you work?
• What lifestyle would you live?
• What car would you drive?
• What possessions would you own?
• What would your lifestyle be like?
• Who would your friends be?
• How would you look?
• What clothes would you be wearing?
• Would you work for an organization or would you work for yourself?
• What qualities would you have as a person?
• What characteristics would you have?
• Would food would you eat?

Really use your imagination with this exercise. Have fun with it!

Isn’t it great to know that your past does not have anything to do with how your future will be, and that from this day onwards your life can be a distant relative to how it used to be. It doesn’t have to be like this, it can be different and it is entirely down to you how different it can be.

But like anything you won’t just drift into your ideal life, it has to be created first. And then it has to be worked on, one piece at a time.

Are you enjoying your life? I mean really enjoying it? Are you living with passion? Is enjoying your life simply just a choice? Are people happy because they choose to be happy or are people happy because of something that has happened to them, circumstances or perhaps something else? Should we all just be happy no matter what we do, where we live, how much money we make, single or married?

Is happiness just a decision or are external factors involved?

Do you spend time thinking about all the things that aren’t right in your life, all the bad things, all the things you haven’t got? I do sometimes and it certainly doesn’t make me happy.

If you do think about things that aren’t right in your life it should at least provide motivation to do something about it.

I want to change careers because I am not happy with what I am doing, in fact a want to go on a search for happiness. I haven’t been really happy in a while, when this happens, real changes can happen. But wait! Maybe I should just learn to be happy no matter what I do?

What makes people happy?

Life is short, none of us are getting any younger, life is no fun if you are not happy. I want to smile more. It is the main reason why I am going on a journey of creating change in my life.

Everybody needs to find out what it is that will bring them happiness. I am not sure I can subscribe to the philosophy of being happy no matter happens in our life. If you are not happy, isn’t it a sign that something needs to change? Surely just smiling when your life is not taking you where you want to go is merely papering over the cracks of something deeper that needs to be resolved?

There is a new branch of Psychology out there called ‘Positive Psychology’ designed to find out what it takes to lead happy lives. I don’t know much about it but it could be worthwhile finding out more about it.

If you are not having fun, then I recommend that you do whatever it takes to start having fun. Plenty of people are why aren’t you one of them?

Why sit there and let life get you down? You have to be the one who initiates your own happiness nobody else will do it for you.

Do you know how long you have to live? No you don’t nobody does, yet some people act like they have all the time in the world and that one day in the future everything will work out and fall into place.

Let me tell you, that is not how it works. Did you think 5 years ago that your life would be different to what it is now, have you just stumbled your way to where you are now?

You need to stand up today and take action to move your life in the direction you want it to go. YOU YOU YOU, nobody else, you have to do something about it! Not someday in the future, you have to do it right now!
