Be Your Own Life's Author

By Luci Fardo

Choose to see the possibilities in your life. Are you where you want to be? I remember being at a low point of my life when I asked myself some important questions. I asked if I was keeping myself in places I didn’t want to be. Was I staying in relationships that were detrimental or counterproductive. I realized that there were a lot of changes to make. There is no right time to change your life for the better. You just make the choice to do so. I decided that life wasn’t as complex as I once imagined it was. It’s really just identifying where you want to be and than analyzing the actions you are taking to arrive at that destination.

Try focusing on career, health, relationships, and finance. Make a list and write goals for each of them. Everything else in life is just part of the journey.

You are the author of your life. Only you decide your future. Let your thoughts reinforce the truth that is your plan. Get rid of the negative talk in your head. We often are crueler to ourselves than we would ever be to others. Along the path of progress you will find happiness. Look for the opportunity in everything. In my failure I have often found lessons that were more valuable than success would have been.

It’s not too late to start over. Chase your dreams. The only thing that is stopping you is yourself. You have to start sometime and now is the time. When people get to a certain age they think they have won or lost. As long as you are living you can try to do something that you have always wanted to do. Travel to distant lands. Write the book that you have always wanted. Go back to school. You can do far more than you know. It will be worth it when you finally do the things you have dreamed of. When I started writing the book I always wanted it made me so happy. When I launched this blog I had a smile on my face. I became the winner just by doing those things. It is far worse to live with regret for what you haven’t done than failing and learning at something. No one is more critical than I have been in the past. No matter how low you feel now it will get better as long as you don’t give up. It doesn’t matter what your circumstance you can change that. You can achieve great things. Success is the result of many things. Limitations are self-imposed. You care in control of how you react to problems in your life. Positivity and mind set make all the difference. Don’t forget those goals and dreams. Create the world you have always dreamed of. Every journey starts with a step. Set yourself up for success. As long as you say yes enough, you will succeed. You will open a door very few people open. The best things in life take time.
