One of my pet peeves is people who don't think. I know, I know, everyone thinks. That may be true, but not everyone thinks deeply, or about important things. I know people where the extent of their thinking is essentially where is the next party going to be. Yes, they work, and they do their job adequately. However, they look forward to five o'clock and they are constantly checking the clock to make sure they don't spend even a minute more than they have to. Once it hits 5:00, it's time for a drink...or time to watch TV or (add your own thing here). They never think about what the future will bring, or how they can make their present better other than to just say I need to make more money!
Thinking deeper will get them further! How exactly, are you planning to make more money? Are you going to look for a higher paying job? Start a business? Gamble? Nope, it never gets that far. How about, "How can I make my life happier? Or my spouse happier? Or my kids? Thinking deeper will get them answers to those problems. Yet they don't and won't do it! I have to admit, I am guilty of shallow thinking sometimes also. Everyone gets into a rut from time to time. The trick is to recognize it and take steps to break it. Recently, I have made a plan to break out of the rut I am in. Slowly but surely, I am doing it! There were a lot of things that had reached rut status for me. One by one I am taking steps to break out of the ruts. Slowly, it is happening. I have made a number of plans and have started to take steps towards each. The actions are slow and methodical because I still have responsibilities away from my goals. Even so, each week I see some progress. I already feel better about myself, even before the plans have led to major changes. Overall, I am becoming happier just from taking steps in the right direction. I have set goals and I am working towards achieving them. Think people! I mean really think about what makes you happy. Once you know, make a plan to achieve that happiness on a regular basis! If you have a large goal. like I want to make $1 million dollar a year (not one of my goals), then make sure you set smaller goals on the way to that main goal so that you don't get frustrated. Then stick to your plan. I am psyched up today. Yet I have done very little towards my goal yet. Once it hits 5:00 I have two things planned toward working towards my goals. The anticipation of working on those goals is making me happy. Think! Set some goals...with some little achievement markers on the way to your goal...and then go for it! You'll be happy you did! So, What's your plan to get happy? Share with me in a comment, and I will share some of my plan with you.
