What
are your dreams and aspirations? What's stopping you from following them? Like the
rest of us, you're faced with discovering the best way to get the most out of
life. Playing it safe will only lead you to a disappointing existence. Start
chasing your dreams. Learn three reasons why knowing what matters to you is the
key to having the courage to pursue your dreams.
Move out of your safety zone. William Shedd said,
"A ship is safe in a harbor, but
that's not what ships are for." Like a ship you, too, must move out of
your safe place to achieve a satisfying and happy life and be who you're meant
to be. This requires you to risk being hurt, wrong, scared, disappointed,
rejected, and ridiculed.
When it really matters, it's no
risk at all.
Putting yourself out there and going after what you want is a risk. The courage
to risk comes from discovering what matters to you.
Start
by defining what you want out of life at this moment so you can better guide
your choices and daily actions. What you care about matters--it is the wind in
your sails propelling you forward into a satisfying life adventure.
Discover what matters to you so you can:
·
Concentrate
your limited time and energy on those things that count.
·
Plan
your life so you feel more control over the things that matter to you.
·
Create
a sense of urgency for the things that are most important to you.
"Concentrate on things that count so you
feel more control over what matters to you today."
A ship is safe in a habor, but that's not what ships are for.
