What drives your live? What's your motto? What is most important to you? How will you measure your life?

This week I had the opportunity to reflect and give answer to those questions.

I am originally from El Salvador, and there is a saying that says, “Even food is not good if you are eating it by obligation” We can use the same analogy with life when sometimes people must do certain things everyday because there is bigger obligation or certain responsibilities to accomplish.

Why do you wake up every morning? What drives your life? Do you enjoy your job? Or you show up to work because it pays your bills?

One important thing I  have learned in life is GROWTH MINDSET. Our type of mindset shapes the way we see the world. Maybe the job you are having now is the the best or it is not your dream job, however, it helps you make a living and gives you the opportunity to become self-sufficient meanwhile you are working on getting more education or shaping your ideas to start your career or your own business, and for instance, your current job is a necessary trampoline that will provide you with the necessary means to work on your dreams.

 

The other point that was discussed this week is the fact that many more people nowadays sacrifice their more precious things in life for other type of success that at the end of the day, it is only related with material things. Material things provide a very limited amount of happiness. “No other success in life can compensate for failure in the home” (David O. Mackay). It is more obvious that more people would prefer temporary success rather than eternal and sweet family relationships.

Another important lesson was to learn that “Managing the minute is the secret of success” (Joseph B. Wirthlin) How do you build your success? Minute by minute!

Thanks for reading my weekly post!
