Direction?

         This is an open letter, to all who wish to read.  I am very distraught in my time here.  I have just about everything that anyone could want in this world.  Yet I am depressed beyond belief only because I know I am not fulfilling my purpose.  As a man my job is what I do, I just can't wrap my fingers around the fact that I know I am working where I don't belong.  This leaves me feeling empty.
I am always so happy and grateful for everything, but with being sick and depressed most the time, it is hard to put motivation to work for me and achieve the goals I have set for myself.

        It is my desire to personally meet and help others find what their life purpose is, a life coach.  To be able to work with someone who wants to achieve more in their lives and help them reach the top, wherever it may be for them.  Truly my gift is with people, and I need to use it.  There is no reason for me to be depressed so much, other than my chronic migraines I am perfectly healthy.  I have a beautiful wife, with who I have been with for 8 years.  Two wonderful sons, age 3 and 1, a rescue greyhound who I adore, a very affordable but more than necessary house that is big for my family, amazing relatives who are proud of me and happy, plus some of the truest friends a man could ever ask for.  I have no reason to be melancholy except in the area of work.  Which is another thing, I love my boss, who I consider more of a friend than a boss,  who has given me everything I could ever need, including a great paying position and benefits, but if I am not fulfilled, so I need to ask myself, is that everything?

        I am quite thankful for all of these things.  Especially when it comes to my job.  Although, I will not feel the joy that I need to feel unless I am helping others through their careers and tough times.  I want to help people achieve their dreams.  I need to be mobile, always in motion, always talking and helping other people.  I cannot be stagnant, immobile, this adds to my despair.  So I wake up this morning, and take my responsibilities into my own hands, to dream a bit more and act on my thoughts.  If I must change things than right now is the best time to do that.  So I choose to walk on my own, through a ever changing world.  To soldier on for a true cause, my cause, to make me whole.

What do you see in your present?

Dreams and goals. Goals and dreams.  In school that's all everyone used to talk about.  What are you going to be when you grow up?  How many times have we heard that.  It seemed different back then, like we were going to choose our destiny, instead it seems our destiny chooses us.  If you have had a passion in your life that needs to be fulfilled do not rest until it has come to pass.  Your life will be meaningless without the completion of your dream.  We cannot be content with mediocrity and being comfortable.  To achieve more often we must risk more, and when it doesn't work out, you pick yourself up with a smile and keep going.  Your not a failure until you quit.  Take pride in your dreams, and make them work for you.  Break all of the barriers and norms of this life, if you want to be or do something bad enough then nothing can stop you.  Remove the barriers and fulfill your destiny.

To Change your life: Wake up and turn the wheel.

   Lost sight of your vision? or even worse, don't have a vision at all?  That's probably one of the worst places to be as a human.  We are all seeking some type of achievement, in anything that we do and as I know first hand a ' regular job' just doesn't cut it.  The only place you can really find this sense of achievement is being where you are supposed to be doing what you are supposed to do.  I know that my place is to help people realize this and to aid them toward a better life. 

Everybody needs a dream.  Think back to when you were a child and you dressed up as a doctor, or a fireman, or a nurse,  you didn't care about how you were going to do it you just did it.  As life goes on to many people get discouraged by circumstances of life, certain unfortunate situations, but to overcome these obstacles one need to be conscious.  You need to be awake, not just floating through life on autopilot never thinking about any thing, just doing.  When you are in this stage, you are the living dead.  You might as well be, because you make no conscious decision and therefore continue down the same path of mediocrity you have always gone down. 

        You truly desire for things to change in your life.  Yet you don't ever do anything different in your day to day habits and routines, therefore nothing changes in your life. 

     Then you give up hope go back to your comfort zone and stay in the rut you didn't want to be in anyway.  If you want your direction to change you have to grab hold of the wheel and turn it.  You must make daily, conscious decisions that positively effect your day and alter your life for the better.  You must turn those positive decisions into habits over time, and then you've got yourself a different looking life.

Now, back to the dreams.  Once you wake up and realize this isn't why you were put on this planet.  Then you need to outline, a path to make a dream or two.  Make a list that will build steps to that goal and work on achieving those steps everyday until you reach your goals.  No matter how long it takes.

Apply these truths to your life daily, and achieve more than you thought you could.  You are capable of doing great things,  Look at how far you have come.  Go get it.
