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 has two late model cars, Lexus's. One for him and Lori and an old beater that the twins share. David started working for retailer straight out of college because they had an attractive "fast start" program to help get new grads into the workforce. Now, it's 14 years later and he still works at the same company. Sadly, David can't even remember what's it's like to have a slower pace where he could actually sit down and take a rest. Vacations are few and always rushed when they do happen and it seems as if the twins grew up and he missed most of their lives. He knows that other people make good money in home-based businesses, MLM, Internet Marketing. etc. but he feels trapped by his job and wouldn't even know where to start or who to turn to for help. David really wants a quick change.

Does this sound like your life? A cycle of dull, mind numbing boredom? You don't have to answer me. You should be honest with yourself. How many people go through this same cycle day in, day out, year after year after year? What about the dreams we had when we were kids? We were going to set the world on fire. Now, we'd just like to save 10 minutes on our morning commute.

I'm not trying to make you depressed here. I'm trying to help you remember the fire, the passion, the energy you once had when you knew the world was yours for the taking. More importantly, what kind of cycle are we modeling for our children? Is this pattern of boredom with occasional sprinkles of excitement (called vacations and birthdays) that we can hope to pass on to them?

Think about this. We're born full of energy and desire. We're taught that we have to go to college so that we can get a good job. Ok. We graduate from college full of hope and ambitions (and thousands of dollars in debt). We take the only job we can get at the time, get married, hopefully get promoted in our dead end job, have kids, get deeper in debt, get our kids in college, get even deeper in debt, celebrate our kids college graduations (and their newly acquired debt) and then find ourselves further enslaved to jobs we can't stand and wondering how we got in this place and how we are ever going to retire.

This is not the life we imagined for ourselves in our youth. You are supposed to live life as you like...not as your employer demands. What happened to us? Life happened. We find ourselves sucked into a vacuum and by the time we realize it we have no idea how to get back to the lives we dreamt of.

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 intention is to inspire you to believe in your dreams again. You had them once and you can still live them. They are yours to achieve. Don't give in to thinking that it's too late. It's not. I know you can live your dreams if you dare to believe that it's possible for you. Believe...then change will come. Peace...
