In order to find a better life I know that I have to change my mindset, my behaviors and the focus of my life’s work. To achieve something that is worthwhile I must take responsibility for who I am and then make a conscious choice and effort to become who I want to be. When I am responsible for my thoughts and behaviors and make the shift from the unconscious to the conscious thought I can transform an ordinary and average existence into something that is filled with joy, meaning and purpose.
Now, if you can make the conscious decision to change how you think and focus on what is important in your life in order to fill it to overflowing with joy, meaning and purpose, why would you not do this? Why would you choose, instead, to remain stagnate and ultimately self-destruct? Yet, oddly enough, people make this latter choice every day.
See, it is really about making the choice to put the power and decision making for my life back into my own hands. That means I choose to quit functioning automatically or on auto-pilot relying on the old habits and behaviors that got me to this point in the first place. I choose to simply stop using excuses that hold me back or keep me from being responsible for my life. I choose to re-train my brain and thoughts in order to achieve a better life in order to elevate it to a place that is higher functioning, has true meaning and purpose, and is a happier place to be.
Henry David Thoreau said it best in Walden:
“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable
ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor.”
I encourage you to take a bit of time to think about how you can change your unconscious thinking into the conscious and elevate your life to receive joy, meaning and purpose that you so rightly deserve!
