The Reactive Life Or The Innovative Existence Revisited.
Is it vain to think you can have the life of your imaginings? That depends who you pay attention to. Who dictates your life? Your parents; friends; teachers; history books? Life is there for the taking if you're prepared to pay the price. No hazard, no venture, no failure, no achievement. You decide what your life becomes – if you dare.
Most people allow others to govern their character through the interplay of satisfactory behaviour versus unacceptable behaviour, incentive versus punishment.
When we're accustomed to living this way, it may take a shock (a family or health crisis) to wake us up and sadly this is what it takes before most people resolvethat ‘enough is enough’.
But what then?
Another predicament emerges from the absolute specialisation of the rat race. What/ Who / Where/ When/ How do I change my life? All you know is what doesn’t work! How do you find the exact path to your desired future? What do you actually want?
There must be a way out of this mess?
There is. Discover how to produce your future. Become a life artist.
Being a life artist is not for everyone. Turning your life around and becoming a creator rather than a reactor isn’t uncomplicated or quick. Discovering what to do with life is one of those remarkable dramas. It is a endless process of self-discovery that should be cherished for the degree of difficulty involved.
You will have critics. "What a foolish idea!" "He's off with the fairies again." "It won’t pay the rent." How impractical."
Here’s WHY you should earnestly consider becoming a life artist:
People who like what they do are much more industrious, fulfilled and inventive
Each of us is one of a kind and uniqueness always expresses itself
The riches comes when you do what you love
Your self-respect will go through the roof
Life is short, so live it now
You deserve to be pleased
Nothing you love should ever be left sitting on the ledge
It is never too late, too daunting or too pricey to change route
Real achievement is working towards your vision
People who enjoy what they do live longer
Enjoyment beats genius
There's a massive difference between earning a living and having a life
What do content people have in common? They know exactly what they yearn for and they know they are moving towards getting it
Here’s HOW you go about becoming a life artist:
The most important thing is to start the journey and Pledge yourself to getting the life you yearn for then give it the time and the attention it merits.
Learn to build and put into operation a written down life plan and remember that 5 to 10 years from now your life plan may look nothing like your plan at present
Stop being reasonable if it is giving you a miserable life
Envision what is possible? Not ‘what choices do I have?’
Plan your path to get there
Decide what the core of the work you desire to do is?
Identify when you are acutely pleased and aim to incorporate more that into your life.
If cash, schedule, oomph and genius weren't a obstruction, what would you achieve with your life? Now do it!
Start little and build up
Network, network, network and then network some more with people who share your interests
Do what’s critical first thing in the day
Say ‘yes’ to potential opportunities
Forget personality tests and skills assessments. What you love is what you are talented at, so let your intense wishes govern your goals
Don't worry too much about the future or you'll miss the opportunities right in front of you
Choose the bumpy ride and you will ascertain talents and abilities you did not recognize you had
Eradicate distractions, simplify your life and learn to say ‘no’
Keep your sights on the goals that really matter to you
And finally remember that the world isn't run by those who are right, it's run by those who influence others that they are right. Lead the way with your own inventive perspective on what the right way is. Be foolish, ask a silly question and suddenly you are a genius.
