What Is The Reason?

Sometimes the door that closes opens the door that is needed.  As hard as it is to swallow, this pill is just the hard pill of life.  If everything we wanted came to us in the time frame that we wanted then it is safe to say that everyone would have it all and there would be no room for hard work.  In three years I have managed to work jobs in the college coaching world, retail sales, car sales, and the construction world. 

All of these jobs have led me to where I am today.  I love what I do for a living and cannot believe that I am on a path that is leading me to even more happiness than I could ever imagine.  The one thing I can say, however, is that during my times with all the different jobs, what I wanted to happen and what really did happen were two totally different things. 

I never really knew that what I wanted to do was help others reach their goals and use fitness as the leading engine.  I always knew I loved helping others, but never quite grasped the concept of making it a job.  By the time I reached my construction job I had began forming my philosophy of what it took to really be a successful person in life.  This philosophy has helped me dramatically with my own life and has put me in position to continue my happiness with life in the New Year. 

If I would have gotten the wants that I desired even a year ago my life would not be sitting where it is at today.  Just one year ago I was wanting so badly for a business venture to manifest and to my surprise it did not happen at that time.  Was I hurt?  Of course I was.  I was caught off guard with the fact that it did not happen.  If that door did open for me back then I would not be able to say that I was doing what I truly feel to be my purpose.  I would not be doing something that keeps me enthusiastic about life and keeps me excited for the next day.

If the want you desire does not happen today just be aware that it happened because something is waiting for you that is better.  You may not know what it is, however if you do the little things day in and day out and strive to be a better person, you will find yourself at the door you were destined for.

Own yourself!  Run your life!
