This week’s Monday Motivation is about cleaning the things out of my life that no longer make me happy. Life is just WAY too short to spend any time or energy doing things that don’t help you grow as a person, that don’t edify your life or that don’t put a smile on your face. One of the main reasons, I left my job and started working for myself (despite how scary and challenging I knew it would be) is because I was no longer happy. Once that happens, you lose a little bit of yourself every day. So I decided to reclaim my happy and just follow my passion.
Now don’t get me wrong, life is not going to be grand all the time. But you should always be able to pinpoint a lesson or a key takeaway if something you’re doing in life is making you miserable or causing you pain. Don’t dwell in. Accept the lesson and move on! Time is ticking folks, so don’t waste it on things you won’t have a story about in 20 years.
Leave what you don’t love behind you.
