Life Control: Be Eager

Destiny comes to those who are eager to accept it!

You have two choices in this life. Seek out your fate or have it happen to you. No matter what you do, time never stops. Worse yet, all those regrets you have are going to follow you. Life is going to happen to you or you are going to dominate it.

I tell everyone that comes to me for advice: You need to be eager for change. It has to consume in every fiber of your being.

Before even continuing this book, ask yourself: Are you eager for change? Do you have the drive and discipline that so many others don’t?

When you sit back and repeat that to yourself, do you feel a shift from within? I hope you do, because that, my friends, is where passion lies. The power we have with our language (as referenced in Chapter 1), is unstoppable.

Things I have gotten passionate about by being eager to change:

Producing content

Hitting the gym three times a week

Doing yoga three times a week

Interacting positively with my family and friends

Leaving my prior job to search and get hired at a new one

I had to take a step back and ask myself, “Am I ready to live the life I have always dreamed of? Am I willing to accept my fate or go out and take it?” The only way to start is to light that fire and keep feeding it. We need to turn the switch on and keep it on at all times.

When we think of ourselves, we think in the negative. The thoughts that consume us are ones of laziness and/or self-doubt. The truth is we are not eager to change and escape our comfort zone. We do not trust that we already have everything we need to pursue our passions.

Do not view this thought process as a burden, let’s bring out the eagerness to get what we want. The match that will light the flame. You are the key to unlock the door to the future. Do you remember when you were a child? You were overwhelmed by curiosity to try anything and everything new. As we get older, as life unfolds for us, we lose that childlike wonder.

When we are filled with the eagerness to succeed, NOTHING can stand in our way! Not even our self-doubt.

Take a second to think about what we discussed in this section. No matter what we are going through, what cards we have been dealt, if we are eager to achieve our dreams, to open the doors once closed, we realize we can pursue anything we want to. None of the prior circumstances matter and we can finally begin taking steps to what we desire.

It is why I used such simple words as being eager to light this fire I keep speaking about.

Answer me this, ladies and gentlemen, are you eager to get what you want in life?
