Do you wish for a life that is so exciting that you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning?
You can build a life just like that. So, instead of wishing you had someone else’s life, create your own.
To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you were meant to be.
I have a life like that now, but it wasn’t always that way. In fact, it was worse than just boring, it was dark and full of heartache, failure and loss.
Because of what I am about to share with you, I now love getting up in the morning, love what I do and love sharing what I have learned with others.
I want you to understand that this is not about chanting “I am, and I can.” and trying to wish your way to a better life. Nor is it about believing if you have a vision of a yacht or Lamborghini that they will suddenly appear because you put it out to the universe. Those types of programs and books will keep you excited and motivated for a week or two, but what I want you to learn is how to get motivated and stay that way because you are focused on the right things for the right reasons.
My new book: Escape Your Humdrum Life, is about moving from where you are at, to where you want to be, by making small course corrections and putting into practice what I teach my clients every day. These are practical tools and ones that work. But they only work if you are willing to do the work. They worked for me, work for my clients and they will work for you too.
These tools took me from a life of darkness, desperation and despair to the wonderful life I live today.
Like most people, when I was in my early 20s, I was on fire, I wanted to make my mark – to be successful. I wasn’t sure what that looked like but I had some ideas and dreams.
I couldn’t know that soon every day, every week, would look just like the one before it. And I sure didn’t plan on living the same week over and over again and thinking that would be a meaningful life.
I knew I wanted to be successful but didn’t really know what that was, or how to get there.
Do you ever feel as though you are just going through the motions? Do you ever feel as though you’re drifting through life without ever really getting any sense of inspiration, engagement, or excitement? Is it hard to get out of bed on some days? On most days?
Does life sometimes feel like a series of uninteresting chores with today looking just like yesterday and tomorrow?
Or perhaps you are happy and comfortable, but you rarely feel challenged or excited. Maybe you spend most of your evenings on the couch watching TV, surfing the internet or on your social media pages. Or out at the pub with friends.
Maybe you spend your whole life picking up after your children or taking them to lessons, games, or practices. Maybe the children are grown and gone, and you are wondering: “What now?”
What will you be leaving behind when you are gone? What is your legacy?
Are you able to imagine having a life that inspires you? A life that inspires other people? Instead of looking at social media, television and movies, wishing you had a life like theirs, why not build one that has others wishing they had a life like yours? Maybe that is beyond your imagination’s capability right now.
The purpose of this book is to teach you that you can build a life that excites you, motivates you and makes you want to get out of bed.
It doesn’t matter if you aren’t even aware of what it would take to inspire you. Or maybe you already know but can’t seem to make it happen. This book lays out a roadmap for you which will change your thinking and get you to take what you have and turn it into something that gets you excited and keeps you that way.
Maybe you are ready to make the necessary changes. Maybe you aren’t. I assure you, if you are willing to follow the simple principles in this book and you are focused, committed and willing to do the work, your life will change dramatically. But if you aren’t willing to put the effort in, tomorrow will look much like today and next week will look like last week and next year will look like last year.
When you realize you are not living the life you had hoped for, the question is: What are you going to do about it?
You can choose: The pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Come, take this journey with me, it is only 18 inches – from your head to your heart.
