Some people accomplish so much in their lives while others accomplish so little. Some people get to the end of their lives and have only regrets while others are satisfied with the life that they lived. Some people get to point in their lives that they realize that they haven’t accomplished dreams that they had for so long or just have a dissatifaction on what they have done with their lives up to that point. Some may feel like they have not contributed to the world or just taken up space. We were all created for purpose and we are put on earth for a reason. We are created to make a positive impact on others and to have meaningful relationships. We are put here for a bigger purpose while living a life that is enjoyable. So why is it that so many end up with regrets, feeling like their is a void in their life, lacking purpose or meaning? Much of it has to do with the investments that they put in living their lives. They put off things that they know they should do for whatever reason. So what do I mean by investment? Just like you would invest money into something in hopes of generating more money, we have to put in time and effort in living our best life to generate our best life.

 We all have the same amount of time in a day, a week, a month, and a year but what we put into that time is what makes the difference. We can use our time on meaningless things or we can do meaningful things. We can spend that time making good relationships, giving back, doing personal development, helping others, working towards a big goal, or we can waste that time doing other things. We can either waste that time or we can do the best that we can with it. It’s up to us to rise up and live on purpose and for a bigger purpose other than just ourselves. We can’t blame anyone or anything else for our lack of life and purpose. It is completely up us if we are satisfied with the life that we have lived when we get to the end of it.

 We can all change anything that we need to change in ourselves or our lives. We have the control to change whatever we need to with God’s help. God’s power works through us by us following His direction. His power works through our weaknesses. But we have to participate with Him in doing the work that needs to be done to change our lives into a satisfying, whole, and joyful. We can’t wait to feel like or want to do something if we want to be our best and have our best life. We will have to invest time and effort in ourselves and what is best for our lives if we want to have and be the best possible. God knows when and what needs to be done and will lead us if we listen to and follow His guidance. He will not make us do what is best for us because we do have self will. But He will help us push through, endure, change, start, stop, whatever it is that needs to be done if we will willing invest in His guidance and the best for ourselves. If we do not want to get to a point in our lives that we feel like we have wasted it or should have done different with it the time to start investing is right now. The following is something that I have stated to myself many many times: “If I don’t like the way that MY LIFE is going then RIGHT NOW is the time to make a change and to do something about it. NOBODY can do it for me and the longer that I put it off the longer I will be unhappy. The sooner that I start participating with God the sooner I will happy and content with what I am doing with my life. I can’t wait to want to or feel like doing something if I want to experience the reward of it.”

 What are you doing with your life? Are you satisfied where you are at in life right now? Do you invest in being your best self and living your best life? Are there things that you are not happy with in life right now? The time to start investing your time and energy in yourself and your life is now!! No matter what we do the seconds, minutes, days, and years are passing by anyways so why not do what is meaningful with that time instead of wasting it.
