What are you measuring in your life? Are you measuring things that are important to you?

Are you after what is going to change your life? Are you after your happiness, your joy, your own passion?

Are you okay with what is going on in your life? If you are not getting what you want to see in your life, what are you doing to get back to yourself, to feel more alive, to be comfortable with your life?

Or are you just doing what other people are doing? Or are you just trying to pretend that everything is okay in your life? Or are you just living your life to make other people happy? Or are you living for others, but not for yourself?

Or are you comparing yourself to others? What are you doing? Are you being true to yourself?

What are you doing right now? If you don’t know what to do next, according to Brianna Wiest, ‘… the only way to gauge how well you are or not doing is to have the courage to go inward, and to feel. To truly be honest with yourself, to keep going when you don’t feel finished, to let your roots sink deeper when you are in something you want to last. To realize that none of us will ever maintain seamless lives, but we are all capable of having one we are in some proud of. We are all capable of deciding what is worth our efforts, our energy, our fight.’

To know whether things are going well or not, look at what is going on in your life right now?

Do not pretend that everything is going well. If things are not, then seek help. You do that by asking some tough questions.

Ask yourself, ‘What am I doing right now? Is this what I should be doing right now? Is what I am doing getting me closer to my dreams? What should I change that is not helping me? What should I keep doing that is working? Who can help me?’ Do not be too smart to ask for help.

Be real with yourself. That is the only way to be you, to get to where you want to be. If not, you are not going to get what you want.

As always, remember, You are more, not less!

When Life Throws Things At Us

For as long as you live your life, nothing is going to be perfect. Do not expect what is perfect from something that is not perfect. Do not expect people to be perfect. And do not expect yourself to be perfect.

Because it is not going to happen. if you want to experience life, a real life, you must forget about being perfect. You must stop talking about creating a perfect world. You must stop thinking about working with perfect people. It is just a dream that will never come true. It is a goal that will never come to fruition.

If you are seeking perfect things from imperfect people, you are just kidding yourself. If you think you can make it happen, then try it. Try it and see what happens.

Maybe you can do it. Maybe you can’t do it. Who knows? Whether you think you can create a better world or not, you are right.

But that is not how life works. Life tests people. For as long as you are here, life will always throw things at you that you can’t stand.

When that happens, life is asking you to step up, to wake up, and to start moving. When life throws things at us, life is asking us to start creating things that we thought were impossible.

When life throw things at us, life is asking us to get back up, to wake up, and to start challenging old beliefs.

When life throws things at us, life is asking us to do more than we are doing now. Life wants us to look at ourselves and say, ‘We will succeed, no matter what.’

If you want to create a better self, a better life, and a better world, you must be willing to absorb whatever life throws at you. If you can, you can win.

The question is, ‘Are you willing to face life?’
