Do what you Love to do

Let me ask you something, are you happy with your life right now? Do you do what you always wanted to do? Do you have what you always wanted to have? Do you drive the car you always wanted to drive? No? That’s too bad… and why not? And if not … stop what you’re doing!!
Dare to Change
Are you familiar with the definition of insanity? Here’s what insanity means: doing the same things over and over again…expercting different results! If you are in a bad spot right now, and you have dreams and goals that you would like to accomplish, you have to change something. Whatever it is that you have been doing brought you to the place where you are now, living where you don’t want to live, doing what you don’t want to do, driving what you don’t want to drive.. If you want different results you gotta change something. I suggest quit doing what you are doing now and follow your heart. Your heart always knows what you really want! If it is an easy change just do it! If it is not an easy change, make a plan and start working on it!
Listen to your Heart
Unless you are a very determined person who knows EXACTLY what you want and you know you gonna get what you want no matter what but for that you have to make a few sacrifices first, unless you are one of this rare species, you should stop what you are doing the moment you open your eyes in the morning and say to yourself “I don’t want to get up to go to work”. If this happens it means that what you are doing is not what you really want to do. And believe me, I’ve been there.. let me tell you what comes next. From that day on you will always wake up feeling like that; you will always go to bed thinking that you have to go to a job that you don’t like the next morning; your week will pass very slowly; your days will pass even slower, you will always be looking at the clock; you almost start feeling insulted when your boss tells you to do something; your productivity will decrease because you don’t feel doing anything! You just want to leave that place!; you will start to feel annoyed with your colleagues because they do a better job than you do; you will start day dreaming … a lot!; and eventually you will get fired.
But when you are doing what you really love to do and what you were born to do, you will wake up everyday before the alarm clock rings … this is even if you need an alarm clock to wake you up! And I mean EVERYDAY!! You will jump out of bed quickly full of energy and a big smile on your face; you are super productive at work, full commited; the time will fly and you won’t even notice; your work environment will be healthier than ever, you will get along with all of your colleagues; and at the end of the day you will go to bed thinking how lucky you are and thankful for that. Bottom line, you will be happy!
If you don’t know what you really want to do in life just try different things until you find that one that makes you feel alive! And don’t worry if you think that you can’t make a living doing what you love to do, the Universe has that covered!
