I recently spoke with a childhood friend who I hadn't conversed with in over 30 years. When I asked how she was, she said she was working away from her family a lot and really didn't enjoy it, but that "the money was really good."
I can't help but wonder what our conversation might be in another 30 years? Would it be one of regret for her -- for having to have worked at something that took her away from her family?
Have you given thought to why you do what you do?
Are you doing a job that you love, or are you doing a job just because it pays your bills and offers a good benefit plan? Or, if you're already retired, are you doing something you're passionate about every day?
Many of us live our lives on auto-pilot without any clear vision of what we truly want for our future.
One of my mentors, Jim Rohn, had a great saying: "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan... and, guess what they have planned for you? Not much!"
Once you define your "why," it will become easier to find an effective vehicle to help you achieve the big WHY's in your life. Money doesn't make people happy. Of course, we all need money. But, once our basic needs are taken care of, we need a lot more than money to feel happy and fulfilled.
Til next time,
