Life happens - now what?

“Life happens” – that’s a phrase that I have heard so many times in the last 5 or so years and wonder why some people use it as an excuse not to step up and be more.

No one can control what happens to them in life. You can only control your response to what happened to you. You always have a choice to become better or bitter when “negative” things happen to you. The fact that someone else got the job or promotion that you had always wanted is not a reason to become bitter. It should motivate you to keep working towards your purpose in life which is bigger than one job.

Have you ever wondered why you are here – at this time? Why were you not born decades earlier or later? 

“The two most important days in your life are 

the day you are born and the day you find out why.” 

~ Mark Twain

Discovering why you were born requires a lot of digging and is hard work. For this valuable work to be rewarding and sustainable, you need to be committed to discovering your purpose and pursuing it with passion.  To do this, you need to ask yourself some necessary questions over and over again - and taking specific actions based on the answers will lead you to living a fulfilled life.
