Aggressively Creating your Life

It’s been a theme of mine lately –  not just letting life happen to you but wrestling it to the ground and making it as much as possible the way you want it to be. There will always be people who tell you that you can’t or that you shouldn’t or somehow make you feel a little hopeless to change things – and they will always be right if you listen to them so DON’T.

How do you get the life you want? It’s not like we can make all the  things outside of us work better. Sometimes things just go wrong or keep going wrong for a while. Sometimes it seems like that won’t ever let up. Change really is always happening and sometimes it’s not the change we want. We can just take it on the chin and accept it or we can push back against it.

Pushing against stuff is exhausting sometimes but what if you can make your life a little bit or a lot more the way you want it to be? – just saying… Who says you just have to sit back and take it? Why is changing our attitude about that so hard?

Are we lazy? Are we just not imaginative? Are we just worn down? Do we think others can do it but we can’t? I’m not sure.

What do you think?
