I believe there is a reason for everything. You are here because you are searching for a way to be happy.
Just like this lion, you are a proud warrior, you also have battle scars. But that doesn't mean you have to face the battle alone. Photo by dogrando.
I believe your life has been hard, over the years you had ups and downs. It has been difficult to keep moving forward, but you did it.
There is a warrior inside you, just waiting to be unleashed into the world.
The question is: what are you waiting for?
There are only 24 hours in a day
That’s the truth, there are no more hours in a day, no matter how much we want to. I bet you would like an extra hour a day, just to accomplish something that you love.
The sad reality is that time can’t be created, time can only be managed.
I know you do your best to manage your time and divide it among those you love, the work you need to do and if we are lucky one or two things that you really want to achieve.
I have a question for you: How many hours a day are filled with joy, passion and growth?
Be honest, because the first time I asked myself this question. I only had a couple of hours a week that were really happy hours.
Take your time in your hands
Society has taught us that you need to be a busy working bee. If you are completely busy, you are a successful person. That’s a lie, most of us decided to believe.
You need to stop believing in lies. Change your beliefs.
If you’re busy, doing a million things that doesn’t take you anywhere and make you feel like shit, hoping one day you will retire and be able to do the things you want. You’re just wasting your life.
If you want a life full of joy, work towards it.
If you want a peaceful life filled with experiences, you need to go out there and experience and enjoy the peace that brings you.
The only thing that you need to do? Is take action right now.
Taking action isn’t rocket science
Taking action doesn’t requiere a complex and detailed plan. You just need to know where you are heading and what’s the next action you need to take. Nothing more.
Being busy, clashes with the idea above. If you are busy, you are doing a million actions that are not leading you anywhere.
If you love being busy, you are just making life harder on you. You are just stressing yourself out without a real reason or purpose.
Simplify.
Ask yourself: Why am I doing this? What’s the real purpose behind it?
Find your real reason to do the things that you do. If something doesn’t fit, stop doing it.
That doesn’t mean, that if you hate your job, you are going to quit tomorrow. You are smarter than that, and I know it.
If you don’t like something, you will find a way to stop doing it and be kind to yourself. Leaving a job just like that without having a way to earn money for your basic needs is not kind to yourself.
Outline a simple plan, 2 or 3 actions you can take today to change what it’s not working for you.
If you don’t like your job, start searching for another one.
If you want to travel, look for ways to fuel that passion.
If you want a healthy body, eat one healthier meal today.
Take action.
You can be happy
Happiness is a choice.
Today, I choose to tell you one simple truth. Taking action is the only way to achieve the life you always wanted and you deserve.
You are a wonderful person, you deserve a life full of happy experiences. You deserve to be remembered for living life to it’s fullest.
If you’ve been doing the things you love and the road you’re walking is the one you want, you’re already a great warrior. Keep growing.
On the other hand, if you have a not-so-happy life, wishing for someday to change everything, waiting for the perfect moment. It’s time for you to wake up, you are responsible for your life.
Someday never comes
It’s time for you to stop being the victim and awake the warrior inside you.
Choose, right here and right now.
Being a victim means everyone else have control over your life. You don’t have to be responsible for your actions, but hapiness is nowhere to be found in this road.
Being a warrior means you are in control, you choose where your life is going and you are responsible for your actions. Growth and happiness is part of the warrior spirit.
What’s it gonna be?

This is a really great reminder to be mindful of how you use your time. One thing that I found really helpful that I did a few years ago with a friend was to sit down and put a value on my time. I put a dollar ammount on it, and once I did that I started evaluating how much I cost myself by wasting time on things that I shouldn’t. When you look at it as if you are paying that out, it really makes you step back and value how you spend your time a lot more.

You have a truly valuable point there James.
Taking the time to work from a mindful point of view makes us realize how much time or money or anything we are wasting on a certain activity. It’s a bit hard to start but once you start rolling with it, you become a very wise investor, using your time to create happiness instead of just wasting it.

It is true, there is only so much time in a day, but this means you need to focus. You need to know who you really are, what you want, and how you plan to achieve your goals. By having a clear understanding of yourself and your goals, you will be able to spend your time much more wisely.

I completely agree with you James.
The first step towards achieving anything comes from actually doing the work within ourselves. It may seem like a lot of work, but aligning your values with your goals and dreams is one of the best investments you can ever do.
