The thing about life is wisdom dawns, only with age and experience. You wish that someone took the time and effort to mentor you and taught the technique of living life to its optimum since you were a child. Did you ever realise that there are so many who have walked the path successfully before you? You need to make time and learn from them and their experiences. People pour out their heart in the books they write. There’s so much to learn from the habit of book reading. You will find a book for every topic under the sun. Success, Wealth, Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Fitness, Goal Setting, Happiness, Love, Freedom, etc. Pick up the ones that suit you and takes you towards your goals

Since you do not have any road map, nor have you taken the time and energy to draft your goals, this was to be expected. If you don’t have any clear cut plan what you wish to do in life and the roadmap towards it, you would just go through life with trial and error. Tell me, why should only companies have Mission and Vision Statements. Why not you in your personal capacity and why not your family make the time to develop it.

When does one truly grow up? When one takes ownership of one’s life and its outcomes. There’s no person up there raising a wand to better & change your life as you desire. There’s no shortcut. You have to do it yourself. The best part is there’s no one to parent you and tell you what to do. You got to do it yourself and that too joyfully as your own thoughts trouble you or make you happy. Being joyful throughout all the day’s activities energises and motivates you.

You are the one who wanted to grow up so that you do not have to listen to and obey your elders. You thought by growing up you could do exactly as you liked and life would turn out perfect. Very soon, you realised it is not so. At times everything was perfect as you would have wished and you became joyful. Most of the time you were miserable as things did not happen the way you wanted. Your life oscillated between these two emotions constantly.

Your own thoughts and emotions trouble you. There’s nothing much to be achieved by complaining and blaming the environment. You have to try and change what you can or accept what is and work around it. You have to take ownership of our own life, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health; your finances and your relationships. You have to technically grow up, not just in years, but in maturity. There’s no short cut, but yes, this is the way to lasting success and happiness.
