Creating a valuable life

Have you ever noticed that people who claim to have the least amount of money are the ones who spend the thousands of dollars on a stereo system or even a great car?

Why is that?

They have created a value for themselves. They can justify spending that money, even if they "think" they cannot afford other things. I am of the personal belief that we will never spend more than what we believe of value.

What does that have to do with motivation?

We create value for ourselves, in our jobs, our personal lives and in our thoughts. Whether we have been taught to think or work in a certain way - we alone decide what is of value to us. And we act accordingly. If we do not value our work, we will act and work to reflect that attitude. If we do not enjoy our personal relationships, we will also show that attitude, through our actions.

If you have created a value in your life, have that "Will do" NOT the "Won't do" or "Can't Do" attitude - you can achieve what is of value to you.

It is all about taking control of your value system.

You will work smarter not harder if you believe in what you do (creates value). You will be happier in your personal life (because you have created a value for your goals) and thus your life is enriched and enhanced, because you feel you have VALUE to your life.

Make the necessary changes to create value in your career and life. Realize that your life is of value and it is of value to others - time to experience life!
