Making Life Happen

/ Sharece Campbell, LMFT I Postpartum Doula

Hey everyone!

If you had the opportunity to do anything that you wanted, something that made you absolutely happy…what would that be?

While speaking with Nosyjosie at Mind Jo Business, she helped inspire this topic by letting me know how she had to change her thinking. Please check out her blog if you haven’t already done so. Her ideas and amazing, and her posts are encouraging and funny.

It’s no secret that we all want to be happy. So, wouldn’t you think that there were more people making this happen on their own? Let me ask you this…What honestly motivates you? Is this an internal pull, or an external pull, both? Are you calling the shots, or is a family member, a boss, a significant other, or social media reminding you what you should be doing…right down to the very second you should be doing so?

For some people, you most likely won’t have to rack your brain when coming up with your answer. You’ve already made it your business to do exactly what your heart desires. I commend ya! You have the means and the dedication to follow through with these desires.

For a very long time I was undecided and without definite direction. I was down on myself big time! I would remind myself of my age and link that up to where I was “supposed” to be. I would remind myself what I “needed” to be doing, because I’ve been hearing this for all of my life. How I should look, how I should be communicating with others, which careers to pursue based on the highest amount of income.  I had to really sift through these messages to find what I was looking for (I share the details in a previous post here).  It is not the best feeling to go against the grain, but often times this is necessary.

I also understand that your current life situation may not always allow you to live how you’d like to.  Even if you are unable to fullfill your life-long dream this very second, how about planning for the future? How will you get there? What do you need to do? Who do you need to speak with? How much money will you realistically need to save? These are questions that will hopefully encourage you to begin living your best, because YOU have made this decision.

Get it DONE! It’s never too late.

 

XOXO

      • I’ve missed you too. I’ve been doing really well, and I thank you for asking about me. 🙂 I’m not always an extremely spiritual person, but I’ve been reading a lot more to grow in my spirituality. For a while, I was becoming discouraged with not receiving much back from all of my efforts towards my goals. I’ve just taken a step back to enjoy the journey, instead of monitoring daily milestones. So, I’ve been working more behind the scenes as of late, versus virtually. But, I have missed being more involved than I have been!!!

      • I am with you on that! That is incredibly intuitive of you to take some much needed time for your own personal growth and healing:) Enjoying the journey is a lesson I have been learning recently myself. We are women that work hard and can get worn out if it feels like it’s in vain. I like to see how far I have come instead of how much I have left to go;) It encourages me to be proud of where I am and I hope that it does the same for you, love.
