This statement might bother some, but I love to be totally honest in my blogs, so here it is….I hope I die while I am high on life. Seriously….I want to be doing what I love when I pass to whatever happens when you pass away. I want to be living my life to the fullest I possibly can. I want to wake up each morning with a smile on my face. If I don’t have a smile on my face….You can bet I will figure out what it is that I need to fix.

Have you ever been sitting on your couch or chair with the television on and you actually are just watching but not listening. This is called daydreaming. We need to pay attention to our daydreams. Living fully requires us to step out of our box and take chances. I have been spontaneous all my life and I have not regretted one spontaneous action. Ok…..maybe I have regretted a couple of them, but boy did I learn some valuable lessons. These lessons were much needed for me to proceed with my head held high.

We can only bang our head on a wall (this is just a figure of speech) until we realize the reason we are banging our head on the wall, is the reason we are not living our life to its fullest potential. Same as daydreaming. We need to acknowledge these moments in our life and evaluate if we are living our life the way we envisioned or are we living it because it is simple and we just deal with the same old things that bothers us day in and day out. This is not living fully, this is just living.

I use to think that I needed to be wealthy to live my life the fullest I possibly could. When I felt like I wanted something different in my life and couldn’t afford it…I got another job and worked my butt off until I could afford it. When I was 25 years young, had a five year old, and was divorced, I felt I needed more in my life. When my daughter was visiting her father I decided to sell everything I had and I moved to Hawaii. Some may call that irresponsible while others call it bravery. It was one of the best years and my daughter loved living in Hawaii.

I ended up leaving after a year because it was really expensive, but what a memory it was. My daughter even moved to Hawaii right after she graduated from college and lived there for years.

I grew up very poor and I was poor after I was divorced at the age of 23, but I managed and I persevered. Heck, I was so poor when I was young I had my electrical turned off (only for a day, but it was turned off.) I have hit rock bottom and that was when I decided the only person I had to blame for the situations I was in was myself. I grew from it and the stars were the limit after that.

Remember the daydreaming part? Well….focus on what you want and achieve it. I always preach that positive thinking brings positive living. Don’t focus on the “I can’t” but focus on the “I can do this” and figure out a plan. Turn those daydreams into reality. You can stay responsible while living life to the fullest. Don’t live your life on the sideline, be the player and be proactive.

Make a game plan and make that plan work. Design your path so you can achieve the life you deserve. You CAN do it, you just need to believe in yourself and don’t become frustrated when you come to a dead end. Find a different route that will lead you to your destination. YOU’VE GOT THIS.
