“… life is meaningless unless you bring meaning to it; … it is up to us to create our own existence. Unless you do something, unless you make something it’s as though you aren’t there.”- Alan Alda

If you are not doing something meaningful with your life, if you are not pursuing your purpose, you are just existing.

Do not go through life. If you want to make a difference, if you want to change your life, you must grow through life. You must learn to use your time wisely. You must learn to say no to the things that are taking your time away.

Do not do things that are not taking you closer to where you are going. So if you really want to grow, if you want your life to make sense, you must take your own life into your own hands. It is yours to live. Why are you playing with it? Take it seriously.

You Have The Power To Create Yourself

You have the power to create yourself. You have the power to change what you don’t like about yourself. But you can’t do it overnight. If you really want to work on yourself, you have got to be kind to yourself.

Change is not easy, but it is doable. You have the power to change yourself. Don Miquel Ruiz writes, “You have the power to create. Your power is so strong that whatever you believe comes true. You create yourself, whatever you believe you are. You are the way you are because that is what you believe about yourself. Your whole reality, everything you believe, is your creation. You have the same power as any other human in the world. The main difference between you and someone else is how you apply your power, what you create with your power. You may be similar to others in many ways, but no one in the world lives her life the way you do.” Go for it. Whatever you want to do to move yourself closer to your dreams, don’t let fear stop you from doing it. If you don’t do it, you will remain where you are.
