Are You Waiting For the "Big Day"?

No alt text provided for this image

Around the world there are a countless number of people waiting for the “Big Day”.

When you were a 5-year-old kid you waited for the day you turned 6.

When you were in grade school you waited for the last day of school and the start of your summer vacation.

When you were a teen you waited for the big day when you could get your driver’s license.

When you were in college you waited for the day that you graduated and then waited for the day you got your first job with the new degree.

When you got the job and worked it a few years you waited for the day you could go on vacation.

After 20 to 30+ years of work you’re waiting for (or dreading depending on how well you’re prepared) the day you retire.

After each and every one of those events, or any other event that you were waiting for, did your life dramatically change when the “Big Day” arrived?

At age 50+ don’t you think you’ve waited enough?

Don’t you think you’ve waited long enough to realize that waiting for the “big day” is NOT the key to your happiness.

Because once the “big day” has come and gone or the big event has taken place, we’re always looking for the next one.

Taking action today to control and direct your life, and the individual events that make up your life is the first part to achieving your true happiness.

The second and very critical part to your true happiness is the realization that you NEED to enjoy the journey of your life and NOT wait to achieve a destination to be happy.

If you don’t decide to take action to control your life events, someone else will. And chances are their agenda is different than yours.
