The Starting Point

Take a look around you.  Do you like what you see?  What kind of car do you have?  Do you see a happy family that brings you feelings of warmth, love and belonging? Are you alone in a one bedroom apartment and a twelve pack of beer trying to figure it all out?  Personally, I have been in all these situations I mention.

Where you are right now is all your fault, for better or worse.  Where you are right now is the sum total of all your previous decisions.  Where you are right now is your responibility, not only to yourself, but also to your fellow human beings and every living thing on the planet.  What happens to us is not always our fault, but what we choose to do about it is our responsibility.

Wherever you are right now, this is your starting point.  Maybe you've screwed around a lot, screwed up a lot or just never made it out of life's starting gate for one reason or another.  Maybe you are doing great, but now you want to change your direction and do great at something else.   Maybe you were a victim of the recent financial crisis and you never saw it coming.  Maybe you were able to get out from under those investment properties and hold your profits...just in time.

If you like metaphors as much as I do, you'll notice that every day the sun rises as a new day begins.  Every day, you have a new beginning.  Every day, you can continue on a path leading to no where or you can change your direction to a more profitable, more rewarding path. 

Every day is a new day and a new beginning...
