I want to tell you a storyDavid is a department manager for a major retailer. He typically works 70 hour weeks and when he does get home it seems as if it's only for a few hours before he has to get right back to the sales floor. He's worked for this company for 14 years now and it still seems like he just started yesterday. He makes good money and lives in a nice neighborhood. David and his wife Lori just refinanced their home in order to help with the cost of the twins upcoming college education.
David and his wife both drive new Lexus'. Their expenses are tight and it is hard to imagine ever getting out of debt. He started working for his company straight out of college just until he "found what he really wanted" and found himself at the same company 14 years later. It seems as if the twins grew up right around him and he can't even remember when they were younger. It's like whole years of their lives are lost to him. He wants a quick change but doesn't know where to start. He knows other people work from home in MLM or Internet Marketing companies but he doesn't think he can do that. All he knows is working for a job.
Does David's life sound familiar? David's life is a never ending cycle of boredom, struggle and remorse that his life isn't going in the direction that he intended when he was younger. He had dreams to set the world on fire as a teenager and now the highlight of his day is settling onto his couch with his remote control.
I'm not trying to get you down here. I want to help you remember the dreams you had when you knew nothing could stop you. The world was yours for the taking and you were just the one to do it. What kind of legacy are we leaving our children by living a life that we have just grown to accept?
We come into this world full of desire and drive to win. We are then taught to get good grades, get into a good college so that we can get a good job and then have kids, and repeat the cycle all over again. Sadly, we're taught to believe that life is supposed to be just like that. Work hard all your life, raise a family, die. I think life is supposed to be much richer than that.
Sadly, this is not the life we dreamed of as kids. You are supposed to live life as you like it. What happened? Life happened to us. We are sucked into a vacuum and we only realize it when it's too late to attempt to get back to the lives of our dreams.
Don't despair. It is not too late. This is the moment. You can make a quick change now by the power of decision. That is where the change in your life starts. I encourage you to recapture the life you deserve. Don't give in to intertia. I know you deserve the life of your dreams.
My purpose here is to help you believe. The life above that I described above was mine. If I can make a positive change for my family, so can you. It's possible for anyone who chooses to believe. It's possible for you if you believe.
