Where do you want to eat tonight? It’s the question that I dread. Because it always starts and ends the same. “I don’t know”…”I don’t care”…”Wherever you want…””Anywhere is fine…””Just pick a place…”
Then someone speaks up…”How about Chipotle?”…which is quickly answered with…”Uggh… it’s too spicy”
“Olive Garden?”… to which I’ll hear…”I eat too many breadsticks so I leave with a stomachache!”
“Outback?”…which is answered with…”Ummm… there’s nothing there to eat anymore so I’ll just get a drink while you guys eat.”
And this goes on… and on….until we typically end up back at the first place that was suggested 😉
When it comes to food with my family, it’s tricky because we’ve got one meat eater, one vegetarian, one super healthy eater and the other 3 of us don’t eat meat but we tend to go for the “less healthy” options. So as you can imagine, finding a restaurant that works for everyone is not for the faint of heart.
But the real struggle is that the great majority of the time, all we do is say what we DON’T WANT and where we DON’T WANT TO GO. When someone has a real preference and makes it known– it’s like a breath of fresh air.
This type indecision and lack of intentional choice isn’t just something that happens when choosing a restaurant. It happens everywhere, all the time. In fact, if you really stop and think about it you’ll see it’s how most people LIVE THEIR LIVES. No clear focus…Not really knowing what they want…Living life by “default” instead of “by design”.
And while most of us would never walk into a random restaurant and let the server deliver up our dinner–without any input or choice on our part– that’s exactly how many folks go through life on a day to day basis.
This is why it’s no surprise that so many people are unhappy, feeling stuck, broke and frustrated in their life. NOT knowing what you want—being super clear– takes it toll on every area of your life…From your health and relationships to your self-esteem and your finances….
You pay a big price for living by default instead of by design. Do you wake up in the morning excited to start your day because you’re pursuing your dreams? Do you go through your day with energy and enthusiasm—because the actions you’re taking are in step with your destiny? Do you climb in bed at night with a huge feeling of satisfaction– knowing you’re living on purpose and you’re another step closer to having what you really want in life?
Or are you living your life more like my family at dinner time…not having a clear choice of what you want and the best you can do is point out what you don’t want?
And if I were to give you ONE SINGLE PIECE OF ADVICE…Just ONE THING that I could share that I consider to be THE MOST VALUABLE in creating the life you want– the life of your dreams…It would be this…
GET CRYSTAL CLEAR ON WHAT YOU WANT.
In fact, you can do it right now. Grab a pen & paper, get quiet and allow yourself to answer the single most important question you’ll ever ask yourself…
WHAT DO I REALLY WANT?
The key here is to be totally honest with yourself. Not what “should” I want. Not what do “they” want. Not what do I “think I could have”.
Get real and figure out what YOU REALLY WANT. Answer that question and you’ll change the course of your life forever. It starts with this ONE SIMPLE STEP. It’s the KEY that will unlock the door to everything you’ve ever wanted in life.
So I’ll tell you what…
I’m going to decide WHERE we’re going to dinner tonight.
And you can decide WHAT you really want in life.
