Do You Feel Good?

When you get out of bed in the morning, how do you feel? I want to know how do you feel!? Some people don't even know because there lives have just become a big routine. Are you full of energy, or do things start to hurt as soon as your feet hit the floor? Do your eyes slam open when your alarm goes off because you're looking forward to the day? Can you walk up the stairs without getting winded? Is it hard to tie your shoes? Are you happy?

Now, let's find out how you feel about where you're going to spend more than 1/2 of your day. Do you wish you were spending the day with your family, or are you dying to get to your job? Do you love what you do for a living? Is everyday the day you dreamed about while you were growing up? Do you feel like your trapped in a job you hate, with people you don't really like, in a place you really don't want to be? Why?

The previous questions are real things you need to think about. The time you spent reading the last two paragraphs is gone. You'll never get it back! That extra 10 lbs. you packed on since you quit exercising would love to hang around all the time, & it will until you do something about it. The job you hate going to everyday, will always be there, or will it? Your dreams will always be there, whether you live them or not. They're your dreams! They were given to you to be lived, but that's up to you. I hope you at least still have dreams.

So often we fall into the "trap", & "settle" for what we're given. You take a job you don't really want, & pretty soon 10 years go by. You start a family, think you're too old to change things, & you settle for what you have. Day after day you go to work, come home, watch t.v. & get up the next day & repeat. Now, I'm not saying we don't have it pretty good compared to a lot of people. But if what you're doing everyday isn't making you happier & healthier, you better think hard. Maybe you're one of the rare ones who loves what they do, has all the money they need, & all the time they want to spend with there family. Chances are you're not though. We get one shot at this life, and we're supposed to make the most of it.

I don't know what area or areas of your life you want to improve, but without money & health, it's hard to improve anything. I suggest you figure out what it is you want sooner than later. Bring your dreams back to life! Live your life!
