<h3>Is Your Life a Familiar Routine?</h3>
<p>Many people live lives that are very predictable,they practically do the same thing day-in and day-out and they can perform these tasks without even giving them much thought. It is almost as if their life is on auto-pilot or cruise control. They basically can go through their daily life with their eyes closed. Though this might seem to be convenient, it carries many dangers.</p>
<h3> Don&#8217;t Get In a Rut</h3>
<p> <em>Is your life in a rut? Have you lost your passion for living? Do you know what your passions are any more?<span id="more-827"></span></em></p>
<p> These are the dangers associated with living a life of routine. When you go through your life with your eyes closed you miss out on all the blessings and opportunities that come your way. You will miss your opportunities in life because you are incapable of seeing them.</p>
<h3>Live an Inspired Life</h3>
<p>  It is time to shake things up a bit and break the same boring daily routine. Life is not meant to be a spectator sport, it is meant to be participated in. You cannot be something in life if you do not do something in life. Happiness in life comes from taking action, in your life and in the lives of others.</p>
<p><em>Go out and <strong>Live!</strong></em></p>

<h3> Would You Like To Add An Extra Day To Your Week?</h3>
<p>  I have heard many people say that if they only had an extra day in their week, they would find the motivation to make positive changes in their lives. They are so busy that they just don&#8217;t have any time for themselves. If they only had an extra day they would be able to make the changes necessary to transform their lives for the better.</p>
<p><em>Have you ever heard this? Have you said this?</em><br />
 <span id="more-813"></span></p>
<p><em> </em>Chances are you have plenty of time, it is just that you don&#8217;t have the proper control of your time. We live in a great technological era with with so many electrical devices that make our lives very convenient and at the same time rob us of our time without being aware of  it. By being conscious of how you spend ( priority time scheduling) your time to minimize distractions such as with email, phone, social media and television you will be surprised at how much time you can save in your day, your week.</p>
<p>  <strong>Take control and take your time &#8211; Take control of your life!</strong></p>

<p> </p>
<h3> Are You Willing To Change Your Life?</h3>
<p>  I talk with many people that project a similar message which is:</p>
<p><em> &#8221;I am unhappy in my life right now, I need to change things.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em> </em>When I discuss with them the things they are unhappy with and then give them suggestions for action steps they can take to change things around for themselves so they can begin to transform their lives, many times what I hear in response are excuses for why they can&#8217;t. The majority of the excuses I hear revolve around time, money or family and the real reason for these excuses is fear.</p>
<p> <span id="more-805"></span></p>
<h3>Why Would Anyone Fear Positive Change?</h3>
<p> The truth is most people are afraid of any change even if it is for the better. Their life might be miserable and at the same time it is familiar, they know what to expect everyday,&#8230; no surprises. A common example is the spouse who is in an abusive or unhealthy relationship and yet refuses to leave. They might be living a life of hell and it is a familiar hell and they know they have handled it in the past so they continue on in their familiar, painful life. A change might be better for them but what if&#8230;? <em>The fear of the unknown always stops them.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<h3>You Have To Take That First Step To Change</h3>
<p>  We have been conditioned from an early age that failure is bad and we get punished for failing. What happens as a result is we discover very early that if we avoid doing things we are unfamiliar with, we avoid failure and most importantly, we avoid punishment. It is better not to try than to be punished.</p>
<p>  This is a mindset that can be changed and it doesn&#8217;t have to be scary. First, you need to throw out the idea that failure is bad. As a matter of fact you shouldn&#8217;t even refer to it as failure, just feedback to achieve your desired results. Sometimes you have to figure out how not to do something in order to discover how to do it well. Second, it is important that you take even small steps daily to expand your comfort zone. The more you attempt the small challenges in your life or small opportunities to enhance your life, the more comfortable you will become in doing so. That uneasy feeling in your stomach will change from fear to excitement as you venture on your next adventure.</p>
<p> Living the life you were meant to live starts with small steps and only you can take that first step. How bad do you want life of fulfillment?</p>

When you go out and buy them a greeting card,take the time to  personalize it by writing your thoughts and feelings from your heart inside the card. This will mean so much more than just putting your signature below some pre-written words in the card. Better yet, buy a card that is blank inside or even make your own card! You don&#8217;t have to worry about coming up with some clever rhymes just tell them what is in your heart. You will be surprised at the response you get!</span><br />
