Those who enjoy life the most, do the most, achieve the most, have the most fun, have the most friends, enjoy family most, feel the best, experience the most meaning, purpose and satisfaction in life are those who come to realize that whatever we want in life is up to us to pursue. In truth, and in spite of any learnings otherwise, we are free to pursue the life we want and enjoy life on our terms. A small handful, usually closest to us, may not get our plan, but mostly we are totally free to be as we choose. We can’t allow a few naysayers who don’t know what they’re talking about to dissuade us from pursuing our greatest life. Realize that they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about and may be jealous or engines that you have plans and it triggers their shame. You get to be number one in your life. But, human nature proves we can rarely do it on our own alone. We need trust, guidance, encouragement, affirmation, support and yes, accountability. That’s where I come in. I’ll make the next post about me.
