The Will to Live...

I had an interesting conversation with a client today about the will to live and it really had me thinking about this particular concept. We discussed how some people have that consciousness about having the will to live, whether just living your day to day life and making sure that everyday is worth living or when in a dangerous situation, you try with all of your might to make sure that you can get out of it alive because you want to live and fulfill those goals.

Can you believe that there are people who don't have this at all? There are those who just kinda sail through each day with no real purpose or goal in their life. It is almost like the saying that you are just "living to work".

I bring this up because it is Wednesday, hump day, and we are already half way through the first week of the new new year, in a new decade. Have you fallen off the wagon on your resolutions or your goals for this year? Are you staying on top of it? Do you have someone to help motivate or keep you on track?

As we continue in to 2010, two points to keep in mind that may be of some benefit to you:

1. I know that many of you have written down your resolutions or your gaols for this year. But do you have it in a prominent place to remind you every day? For me, I have a visioning board and that has been pretty successful so far. In addition, I write in my calendar all of the the goals I intend to meet for that day, so that is another reminder for me. No, not your list of tasks or appointments, but your actual goals. When you write your goals down, you allow it to manifest, but I think also having it visible for you to see every day is an added bonus.

2. Do one thing everyday that will lead you to your goal. Many of us, including me can become stressed or overwhelmed with the amount of things we want to do or complete in the year. I worked on this with my boyfriend before the new year of writing down the few things I wanted to accomplish for each month. You can even break it down by week, but this makes things so much more manageable as well as stress free. You can also see your progress month by month when you see what you have completed.

So, hope those two points helped. Again, you should always be asking yourself, "Am I doing this for the sake of doing it, or is it bringing me true satisfaction and leading me to my purpose. Have a great Wednesday!
