Experience the Difference!!

"What do you want to do with the rest of your life?" This question came from a man I looked up to. As I stumbled for the answers, it became apparent that I had none. I didn't know what I wanted to do. In fact, I didn't know much at all about what I wanted.

"A woman your age should know what she wants to do with her life by now", he said. I was mortified and devastated. I felt embarrassed and ashamed. There was something wrong with me; I didn't know what I wanted.

My mind grabbed onto that message like a dog with a bone and wouldn't let go. My mind didn't remind me that I had spent the last 24 of my 44 years raising three children, most of the time as a single mom; that I had gone back to school at 41 and was working full time, going to school full time and taking care of a home and family by myself. No, none of that entered my mind; it was too full of shame that I didn't know what I wanted.

Last week I wrote about making your dreams a high priority. That is well and good, if you know what your dreams are. But, what if you don't? Well, the truth that I know now, thirteen years after that painful message, is that most people don't know what they want! As Thoreau so profoundly stated, "The majority of men (and women) lead lives of quiet desperation".

If you are a person who is frustrated by not knowing what you want, I'm here to tell you that that frustration only means that you want to know. Frustration only means we don't have something we want. It's not a bad thing; rather it's a good thing. Honor that frustration because it is a message from your inner self, nudging you to find out.

If you don't know what you want, that simply means there is a gold mine inside you, just waiting to be discovered. If you are ready and willing to find out what you want, you can choose to be the prospector of that gold. The answers are inside you; you just have to mine for them.

No one has to live in "quiet desperation." We all have the ability to get in touch with the kind of life we want and to go for it. To mine for that gold, you will need desire, willingness, persistence, patience, support and tools. It's up to you to come up with the desire, willingness, persistence, patience and support. I will give you some tools that have worked for my clients and myself.

In the meantime, don't let anyone "should on you" and don't "should on" yourself! In fact, take "should" out of your vocabulary. It has no redeeming value whatsoever.
