Life is a choice !

Life is a choice !, a friend of mine, in high school, told me some decade ago.
Indeed, LIFE IS A CHOICE ! It should be so, shouldn't it ? This seems quite obvious to any of us but let me ask you a little question : Have you Really chosen your current lifestyle ?
I mean, the life, you are living now, is it your choice ? Are you enjoying it ? Are you enjoying your current work ? Are you living the ideal kind of life you would have liked to ?
Another very fundamental question is the following : Have you got dreams ? If so, do you think you are currently on the way to definitely achieve them ?
Put another way the question is : Do you REALLY think the life you are currently living IS DRIVING YOU TO YOUR LIFE GOALS ?

It is unfortunate hearing people complaining about their lives while not doing anything to change it. A lot of people spend hours in the subway going to [or coming from] work every day, work on stressful projects they don't like, get back home very late in the evening and so on.
Some people work very hard and have no time to spend with their family. Some other are always complaining about their salary. They go on working -though complaining about- their boring job, even not always well paid.
As a matter of fact, they don't like their lifestyles; meanwhile they are not doing anything for change : what a pity !

They are not choosing their life, they are just suffering it. They are suffering it because the society we are living in is choosing their life for them !
Let me turn it another way like this: If you don't choose your life, the society you are living in will choose it for you; that is it ! And it might even be chosing it for you at the moment your are reading this article[by the term society I am not talking about any company, I just mean : the large social and organized group of people we are living together in].

But tell me : why not choosing your life instead of suffering it ? Why not struggling to find a path to YOUR WAY ?
Dear reader, the good news, I have got for you today is : YOU CAN (and should) CHOOSE YOUR LIFE; if it is not going the way you would have liked it to, YOU CAN CHANGE it, ruling it on the path you need to achieve your dreams, the path to experience self-contentment and happiness.

The FIRST STEP for this A STRONG WILL. The will of what ? You should HAVE THE REAL WILL to attain your life goals; I mean your long-term vision, your dreams !
Now the question is : have you got dreams ? You might have understood that before the first step, we just mentioned above, the STEP ZERO in life achieving process is for you to HAVE A DREAM; I mean, a long-term vision that will be driving your day-to-day work and decisions thoroughly and progressively to the dream you dream of. You should know that dreams are as essential for your life as oxygen is! I give details about life dreams in another article.

Kind Regards,
Emmanuel
