Is Your Goal A BIG FAT LIE?

That prize, that goal, is what is supposed to keep you motivated to endure hours of boredom and mental hardship.

The truth is - most people give up on their big dreams because what they think they want is a lie!

Their big dreams of wealth, fame and power aren't their own - they're just trying to live up to other people's expectations of them.

And for most of us, trying to impress our neighbors, our colleagues at work, or even Mommy and Daddy, just isn't enough motivation to seriously change our lives.

But what if it was the other way around? What if you didn't actually need motivation at all? What if your desire to do things came easily and effortlessly, like a child wanting to go play in the yard?

It's easy, actually. Here's how:

Discover what will make YOU happy in YOUR life.

Don't think about Mom and Dad, the people at work, your friends or even your spouse. Your ability to make your life better has nothing to do with them.

What would make YOU happier?

Right now, grab a piece of paper and a pen, and start listing the things that would make YOU happy.

Write down everything that comes to mind no matter how unrealistic, silly or selfish it is.

Initially this will not be easy.

That's because you're still holding on to the thinking that you 'should' be trying to achieve based on what other people expect of you.

If you push through and keep writing, those 'fake dreams' will fall away and you will find the ideas coming from a deeper, more authentic place.

Once you have discovered the 2 or 3 things that you truly want from your life (most people only need a couple of things to be happy), take a look at the path your life is on
right now and notice how much time you spend doing or being those things.

Now, notice how much time you spend doing or being things in order to impress other people, with no true happiness coming back to you.

Question: How can you spend less time trying to be who you are not for other people, which requires tons of motivation, and spend more time being who you really are,
which takes no motivation at all?

If that question doesn't inspire you, then maybe it's time to buy another self-help book.
