Do you wake up to each morning feeling motivated to accomplish meaningful work?
Can you literally write down and number the meaningful personal goals that you’ve accomplished over the past six months?
Would you honestly say that your focus and charge towards meaningful work is consistently unstoppable?
Regardless if you answered “Yes” or “No” to one or all of the above questions, there is one thing that still rings true: You can always Fill Your Life With Value.
All you have to do is Choose, Plan, and Take Action in an UNSTOPPABLE manner. There will always be goals to be set, work to be done, and meaningful tasks to be accomplished.
In order for you to Choose to Fill Your life With Value, you must confirm what brings “VALUE” to your life.
What brings “Value” to your life?
Is it —
1. Doing meaningful work?
2. Enjoying a harmonious family?
3. Increasing your connection to a predetermined Higher Power?
4. Building healthy relationships?
5. Advancing continuously in life?
6. Becoming more self-aware?
7. Becoming financially independent?
8. Getting out and becoming more active?
9. Feeling that you’re empowered enough to help others need?
10. Choosing to finally go after that one most meaningful goal in your life?
Whatever “It is”, you must first Choose “It”, and then Plan “It” so you can stay focused and connected to “It” daily.
It’s been said time and time again, “When you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.”
There are many people today walking around feeling unfulfilled and that their life has little to no value. Value and fulfillment isn’t something that falls into your being without you planning for it and doing some work.
It’s also been said, “The only place success comes before work, is in the dictionary.”
The best work that you or anyone can do is meaningful work. Meaningful work and accomplishment brings you personal fulfillment. It helps to give your life purpose and value. However, if you want to pour continuous “Value” into your life, then a Written Plan will be needed.
With a Written Plan, you will be able to follow a course of action, research the necessary resources for success, adapt and adjust along the way, and see where you’re headed daily so you can stay connected and working towards that which Fills Your Life With Value.
You do not want to end up like “The Man That Never Lived.” (Author Unknown)
“There was a very cautious man
who never laughed or cried.
He never risked, he never lost,
he never won nor tried.
And when he one day passed away
his (life) insurance was denied,
For since he never really lived,
they claimed he never died.”
When you fail to Choose and to execute your Written Plan daily, you voluntarily put yourself in the same state of being as “The Man That Never Lived.” You have voluntarily chosen to continue through life unfulfilled and with little to no value added.
This is why it is important for you to Take Action in an UNSTOPPABLE manner!
Your “It”… Your “Goals”… Your “Cause”… and Your “Meaningful Work”… must propel you in an UNSTOPPABLE manner, daily, to risk, lose, win and try — emphatically!
A determined, focused and unstoppable person believes and says, “My Dreams, Goals and IT — is NOT for Sale!” And they strive onward and upward by Taking Continuous Action.
I conclude this blog entry by asking you two simple questions:
1) Have you given up on your Dream, Goals or IT?
2) What will you begin doing today to ensure that you will start or continue – continuously – Filling Your Life With Value, daily?
I encourage you to trust your instincts, and to believe in and be yourself. Choose, Plan, and Take Action in an UNSTOPPABLE manner! You are worth IT! And deserve IT!
Fill Your Life With Value!
