So, you think you're trapped?

How many times have you felt trapped, disillusioned, disappointed and afraid?  These are common feelings that we have all experienced at one point or another during our life time.  How would you like to go through life never having to experience those feelings again?   What do you think you need to do or have in order to get rid of these feelings?  Some of you might think, “If I was rich I would never feel disappointed” or “If I was the number one sales person, I would never feel like a failure”…  While these two ideas are great and I encourage you to reach your goals, I want you to understand that while you are committing yourself to your goals you have a choice to never feel these feelings again.

Our whole entire existence is based off of the choices that we make.  Let’s use the often used phrase; “stuck in a dead end job” are you really stuck?  Do you have a choice to do whatever it takes to move on?  YES!  The easy way is to make excuses for yourself or rationalize why you can’t leave that dead end job.  If you take a moment to consider all the choices you have without making excuses or lying rationally (rationalize) to yourself, I am willing to bet that you will find more than one other choice to whatever situation you are in.

Now just to clarify, I am not telling you to quit your job that in your opinion is a “dead end job” because even though that might be your perception when and if you pay close attention you might find that there are opportunities that you had never seen before.

This goes for any situation in life.  The girlfriend that is with the abusive boyfriend or vice versa…    The person who feels lonely… The mother who has a disrespectful teenager… The manager who has a challenging employee… and the list goes on and on.

We can choose to look at any difficult situation and mope about it day in and day out OR we can choose take a microscope and look deeply into what choices we have to change it.  If you are able to turn your attitude instantly into an optimistic one and believe that you are capable of anything that you put your mind to, you will realize that your whole life is about the choices that you made.  Don’t you dare say, it’s too late for me, I’ve already screwed up too much, I can’t fix this...  Those are excuses and an excuse is always the easy way out. 

 

Consider the following and start making the right choices TODAY! 

#1 Change your attitude about the way you see things.

#2 Stop making excuses.

#3 Create the change you want to see in yourself.

#4 Don’t ever, EVER give up!
