Are you living the life of your dreams?

If you're still pondering the difficult question "What should I do with my life?"   here's some inspiration from Oprah's "O" magazine:
  • Take a moment to appraise your happiness. If your job feels like a grind and you aren't spending your free time doing something you love, you may be in a rut. One of the keys to living a purposeful life is recognizing when you're unfulfilled.
  • Next, consider all the things that bring you joy--Explore the possibilities. Your passions could lead you in all kinds of different directions.
  • Also - tune out other voices. Don't listen to friends, family, or the general culture about what constitutes happiness. You need to learn to trust your own voice and take a leap of faith--
  • And when thinking about your life's direction, decide what kind of person you want to be, instead of focusing on what you want to do. Let that guide your choices.
  • Also, don't spend a moment on regrets. All your experiences have brought you to this moment. You now have the skills you need to succeed.
And here's one more tip on how to be inspired to pursue your dreams: Take the first step. Destiny can't help until you are willing to break out of your comfort zone. Prepare for the changes you need to make, and then start making them!
