Calling the Shots From Home
You hear it all the time. One of the perks of being self-employed is being your own boss. But have you ever stopped to consider that you are the CEO of your own life?
You might disagree with this, saying that your responsibilities control your life, whether it be children, credit card debt or a demanding job. But at some point in your life, you chose those things. You may not be able to change your past, but if you want your future to reflect your desires, you must start managing your life.
Most of us have internalized some sort of authority that helped us get through our lives at one point or another. But it may not serve us anymore. It’s important to actively choose the kinds of motivation and structure we want.
Think back to a great teacher you had. Or an excellent coach. A motivating boss. Even a really great babysitter.
What qualities did they have that you admired? How did they bring out the best in you? Write these down and try to embody them in your own life.
Maybe an old coach always expected you to be honest, trusting you implicitly. You didn’t want to take advantage of that, and so you never told him a lie, no matter how tempting it might be to say you finished your laps around the track.
Try doing that to yourself. Trust yourself to do the right thing, and you won’t need to be dishonest with yourself.
We all need authority and structure in our lives; it’s what motivates us to continue when things might get a little tough. It keeps us in check.
When we actively choose to be our own boss, instead of following the whims of our past, our lives will reflect that. We’ll move closer to becoming the people we know we can be.
