Excerpt

From “Are You Jumping Out of Bed in the Morning?”

Are You Jumping Out Of Bed In The Morning?
By Diana Dentinger, Inspirational Speaker & Founder of The Meaning of Life School
Do you jump out of bed in the morning, ready to happily face the day and excited to get to work?
Or are you lying in bed after the alarm goes off, dreading to have to go through another day, another trip to the office, another series of tasks that mean very little to you? Or are you somewhere in between, but realizing that you have to spend those 8 plus hours doing a “job” just so you can pay your bills?
Waking up with dread in the morning, doesn’t sound like a lot of fun and isn’t how most people want to live their lives. I’m willing to bet you don’t either. I bet that you want to wake up with a burning desire to do something significant with your life. And that that something positively impacts those around you.

How to Move From Dread to Desire
Moving from “dread” to “desire” is a process and there are many steps along the way. The very first, and most vital one, is to mentally Purpose. define, visually see and emotionally feel your Life Purpose.
This makes all the difference in quality of your day and the personal satisfaction you gain while moving forward along your path in life. Sure, there will always be some tasks that belong on the “have to do list” that you are less thrilled about, but with a clear Life Purpose, you have a more relaxed approach with them.
Maybe you are someone who already looks forward to going to work everyday but you’d like to live it more passionately, instead of having the rollercoaster of some good days and some bad. After 25 years of Corporate Training and Personal Development Coaching, I highly suggest to make “Finding your Life Purpose” a priority as soon as possible.

Without a heart felt Life Purpose, you think you are being held back by things “outside” of you, as if they had “power over you”.
Remember, your power comes from within you, but until you have unwavering clarity you get easily distracted, waste your time, and make choices based on external factors.
