Name That Tune.

As I sit here writing this to you, I have thoughts in my head that were generated from listing to U2’s song “40,” I first remember this song from the MTV days back in my youth. The song combined with the video as it is the last song from their “Live at Red Rocks” show back in 1983 is very powerful and this is the song that they end all of their concerts with, very positive way to end their shows. Each member slowly stops playing their instrument until finally they are all gone and off the stage. I just came across from YouTube the version they did in Chicago and WOW. Thinking about the video and the song brings me to the point of knowing what I want to do in life. Thinking about the song and thinking about going back to my roots as far as what I wanted to be when I grew up. I am grown up and not where I want to be in life and who is really? I look back in grade school and how much I enjoyed being in the drama club, doing plays and every once in a while when there was silence in the audience just trying to say a word to make people laugh. I was not confident enough in high school to do that, and I have no idea why. Today I think about how I handed out one of my personal business cards and it says “Leadership/Motivation” training and someone kind of laughed. I did not really think anything of it because I know that goal will be achieved. Music can be a trigger in your head to relive the past and today for me I think, why are we not working at jobs that we want to be doing? Forget about the economy that is a moot point.

There is a saying I am sure many of us have read or heard and that is: “Find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life.” My goal is to be on the “Platform” like Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, and Jack Canfield to do day in and day out what they do. When someone makes a small gesture demeaning to me, that only makes me want the goal even more and to look at how I can work harder to achieve that goal. I can honestly say that the only person I know who loves what they do is my mom. She is a Yoga instructor for the recreation center where she lives. She does not go to a job, she goes to her passion. It is not to late to dig deep into your soul to be a kid again and ask yourself what it is you want to be when you grow up.

Think what can you do to get to where you want to be or I should say rather be. What steps can you start to do right now in order to be there? Write those steps down, set dead lines for those goals and a final date. Yes the final date can and will possible change however I firmly believe that without writing them down and seeing the goal on a daily is nothing more then just a dream. I have a simple sticky note on my laptop with the number 5, the date of October 3rd -2and October 10th -5. Meaning that I want to drop 2 pounds by the third and 5 by the tenth of October to achieve my goal. I have also expressed my goal not only with you but with my Personal Trainer Eddy, and after one workout I know this goal can and will be accomplished by October 10th. Now go find that song to remind you where you want to be in your life.

Are you working at the job you want to be working at? Simple “Yes” or “No” will be the poll question.

Shout out to all of you who keep coming back to read and take part in the polls. Thank you.
