Take a close look at your life. Who would you say is managing your life, calling all the shots? When you were younger, your parents made both the simple and grand decisions affecting your life. You were OK with this until about the age of 5 when you decided it was time to call the shots. Your parents' goal was to teach you the basics, guide you in the right directionso that you grew up to think and choose for yourself. How did this plan work for you? Looking at where you are in your life now, are you choosing the path of your life or are you allowing others to do it for you? Are you currently in a career that others desperately wanted for you? Are you involved in a relationship that others felt was a 'perfect match' for you? Again, who is managing your life, you or those around you? It is up to you whether you want to live YOUR life or THEIR life. There will come a time when you realize your happiness and fulfillment depend on your stepping up to the plate.

I remember deciding to go into a real estate business with my husband, it sounded fun and rewarding. Once I was involved with the business, and doing fairly successful I must add, I knew deep in my heart this was not a fit for me. I knew crystal clear that this wasn't what I was meant to do, but I swayed back and forth on how to approach my husband. He loved working together and envisioned us creating this successful company together working side by side. I decided to express how I felt, how sorry I was, but I needed to follow my own dreams. He was saddened but completely supportive of my decision. I could have easily put on a smiley face and created a successful business, but in the inside I would have been drowning in myunhappiness. Nothing is worth that price! Just keep in mind that you are the only person that knows what will make you happy, follow that feeling.
