What is in your life right now that makes you feel uncomfortable, or dissatisfied, or angry or sad? Do you know what is required to move from this place of allowing that situation to continue to a happier place? I think I do and I’d like to share it with you.
We frequently create situations in our lives where we tolerate things we don’t like for a number of reasons:
We think we can’t do anything to change them
They’ve always been there traditionally
We feel helpless to make any changes
I know a young man who performs the job of an accountant. He’s a good accountant as was his father before him. His father wanted him to follow in his footsteps, as many fathers do with their sons. So the young man attended university and became an accountant as his father had before him. But this young man wasn’t happy or fulfilled in this career. There was a part of him that loved racing motorcycles, tinkering with their engines, shining up their chrome and being in races. His father disapproved of his hobby and while the young man lived with his father, he was not permitted to indulge it.
Did his love of motorcycles disappear as he worked in his accounting career? You know it did not. He felt it inside of him, prodding him for expression. His true satisfaction was being in the world of motorcycles and motorcycle maintenance and motorcycle racing. He experienced a growing dissatisfaction with accounting.
Now this is a fabricated story to illustrate to you that we allow certain things to happen or to not happen in our lives. Our young man, like many people out there, had acquiesced to his parents’ wishes and desires. He made them happy, but he forgot to include himself in that equation. Allowing himself to remain in a place where dissatisfaction has become the norm will eventually make our young man ill. Dis – ease is a lack of ease, and it does show forth on our bodies and in our experience.
But let’s look at you – what is going on with you that you have been allowing, or tolerating or putting up with and basically not liking one bit. If that thing remains in place in your life, it will eventually make you ill. You deserve a life filled with abundance, great joy, a loving relationship, success and fulfillment.
It would be very wise on your part to move what you currently allow into the Be the Change You Want to See In Your Life column. I’d suggest making a list of everything you’d like to see changed in your life. Now, put them in order of priority. Which one would you have to do first to grant you the biggest sense of accomplishment and satisfaction? Usually, the things you want to change fall into Health, Wealth, Success and Happiness categories, so I provide them to get you going with your list.
Life is a wonderful thing and it will provide you with the resources to change the things you have been allowing into more satisfaction for you. You have my vote for your success.
