Just Push Play – Live Your Life Now

On By April HugheyIn Goal Setting, Meaningful Existence, PrioritiesLeave a comment

Are you waiting for some great event for you to be happy? Do you have the fantasy that life will be better if only you…. lost 10 pounds, found a better partner, made more money, had more free time?

Stop existing with your life on pause. Hit Play and enjoy your life now. Wear the bathing suit now and chase your kids in the surf. Search for a new job now if the current one makes you miserable. Ask out the attractive man in accounting.

Life will never be perfect and the planets will not align themselves so go live your life now! I am not suggesting an existence without moral or ethical boundaries – you can have fun while being true to yourself.

If you want to have a happier life, take the steps needed now. Push play and stop waiting.

Encouraging Others

When you encourage someone, be specific and authentic. Do you want to encourage the actions taken? For example, “that was a good, strong swing – you kept you head down and followed through.” Are you encouraging the dedication? “I am so proud of you for completing the 5K; I know you trained diligently.”

We all appreciate words of encouragement when they are meaningful and heartfelt.
