January 13: ‪Do what you WANT to do, AS you do what you HAVE to:‬

I love this quote by Oprah.  DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO UNTIL YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. 

I think it is important to do what we want to do every single day before or after we do what we have to do.  I think doing BOTH of these things is even BETTER, as it energizes us and keeps life exciting as we enjoy doing what we WANT to, WHILE we do what we HAVE to in order to keep the bills paid and survive.  Sometimes this means waking up extra early to do things for ourselves before we start the mundane activities of the day.  Sometimes it means staying up just a little later, pushing through the exhaustion to complete a task.

Creating, and following a uniquely personalized daily routine to fill our cup up to the point of overflowing and contributing to others, can be one of the best practices we could ever adopt.

ALWAYS do what LIGHTS YOU UP!

If what we want to do will help someone in any way, it is that much more important for us to get into the habit of doing what we want to do every single day.

This is how we continuously live a fulfilling life.  This is how we do not lose our self or forget who we are.  This is how we protect our energy, rather than continuously depleting it, slaving away at creating someone else’s dream.  This is how we grow our souls, especially if doing what we want to do is helping others.

Today’s challenge for myself:  Today I will decide to do what I enjoy, and as I do, I will incorporate a way to help others in some way.  I will make sure to work on MY dream, DAILY.

goodinthehead is also on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.  Follow me there, as well, for daily messages, inspiration, motivation, and reminders.  Please pay it forward, and share this, and ANY message, which may empower someone you love or may care about.  It is through adding value to others by sharing and spreading wisdom, that we become more valuable as individuals, and collectively, as a whole, we all become wiser.

Remember:  Mindset matters.  Character counts.  That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives.  WE CREATE our realities.
