Feeling Like You Need a Recharge?

If your life were a sentence, what would it read?

Do you live each word of your life, or do you live for the punctuation between this phrase and the next?

Everyday we wake up, put our clothes on and get started with our day. For what? Some of us have steadily made choices to bring us to our present and transcribe our future, while others feel as though their life was handed to us like a homework assignment.

I wouldn’t dream of sitting here telling you that you should or shouldn’t have done this or that a different way. Who am I to you to judge your life? But ask yourself this question…

“Do you find yourself needing a recharge at the end of your day, week, month, or year?”

If the answer is yes, then are you doing what you were built to do? If the answer is yes, are you taking a look at what you want to do, have to do, and are being obligated to do? Do you really have a good sense of what you need versus what others have impressed upon you – either through action or by assumption?

I would warrant a guess each of you enjoys certain vices, but that’s not what I’m talking about… Have you really took a hard look at what you have become obligated to? Sure you have to… take the kids to school, workout, do the dishes, take out the trash, do the laundry, go to work, eat dinner, and even schedule date night – Or do you?

I’m not advocating running off to a tropical island and throwing all caution to the wind. However, I am asking whether you have discovered that one thing which really makes you happy and just connects you with yourself?

It’s your choice as to whether that singular sentence of your life is written by your ghost writer – or you.
