Life is about Creation

I am asked all the time about what I feel the meaning of life is, and the truth is I can never answer that question for you. The meaning of life is unique to all of us as we create it. The reality is life is about creation, you create your opportunities, you create your dreams, you create your passions, you create confidence and motivation, thus, your meaning of life is created by YOU.
You can ask anyone their belief to what life is, and you can ask them what their metaphor is for life, and it will always vary. Some will say to them life is a party and they are having fun, others may say their life is dance and they are just enjoying the dance, some may say life is a challenge and it is one they do not know how to adjust to. The truth is the metaphor you attach to life plays a HUGE role in the life you will create.
I pay close attention to whatever metaphor people attach to life as it helps me gauge where their mindset is at. I had a person I was coaching inform me that in their perspective life is a struggle, and it is one you can never overcome. I realized then he needed support with creating a new metaphor and a new mindset. I advised him to start paying close attention to his internal vocabulary and to start replacing negative words with positive ones. For example, instead of saying “this is a struggle and I cannot overcome it” say “this is a new challenge and I WILL overcome it”. We create our own confidence and it begins with how we speak to ourselves. Once he was able to understand through execution how internal vocabulary assists us, he began using it more.
If you want more confidence you need to create it, if you want more motivation you need to create it, and if you want more positivity you need to create it. Your meaning of life lies within what you create. Fact is majority of people live their lives creating blame for others, they live their life creating excuses and self-sabotage. This can stem from what is known as “learned helplessness” and when you enter this mindset you feel there is no way out. Majority of people live their life struggling through learned helplessness, and they have no idea how to create their way out of it. That is the issue, people want others to create their opportunities and changes for them, and this is a very powerful way to commit to self-sabotage.
This is YOUR life, and no one else can create the life for you. People are wanting gold with a bronze effort, and the level of entitlement with people has drastically increased. It is easier to blame others for your failures as opposed to yourself, however, that way of thinking is only going to help you create more loss and regret. People need to start creating more opportunity of growth through being honest and accepting accountability for their choices. There is ONE major thing we all have control in, and that is our effort. People need to create their success through THEIR own effort, and to discontinue relying on others to create their lives.
Whatever it is you want your life to be you need to create on your own terms. Every thought, every choice, every decision, every word you use internally, and everything you focus on plays a role in the creation of your life. Accept responsibility for YOUR life, and take ownership of it. As long as you wait for someone else to do it for you is time you can never get back, and it is sure way to invite regret into your life. You CANNOT expect gold with a bronze effort, nor can you expect anyone else to win gold for you.
Create your life NOW, and create the very life you dream of, it begins with a committed decision and it ends with a committed decision. You need to pay very close attention to which decision you are committing to. Those who are very successful and fulfilled are the ones who understood they create their own lives, and they made the committed decision to create their best life, and they did. You can have the success and fulfillment you dream of, but only when you realize your life is a result of what you create, DAILY.
