48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show

We can all tell our life story as a healthy version or a victim version. An unhealthy story can perpetuate that same ongoing reality. Creating a healthy story can change the way you see your life and the way others see and respond to you.

WOS: But I can’t do that ...

I get a lot of questions from people in their 40s and 50s who are concerned that they have made some wrong choices and are now doomed to live out lives without meaning, purpose and profits. If you see the early years of your education and career as times of learning and testing and clarification you can then move into the most enjoyable and productive season of your life - regardless of how old you are today.

Sometimes what we perceive as obstacles are actually signals from God redirecting us towards a more fulfilling future. Setbacks can be turned into opportunities by embracing responsibility for our circumstances and looking for positive next steps.

I’m working but I don’t feel that fulfillment thing…

I was exposed to The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale when I was 13 years old. The idea that we become what we think about and can control our minds really rocked my world.
 
Earl tells of a friend who made a terrible decision to hold up a liquor store and ended up killing the proprietor. He went to prison for life. 
 
Earl checked in on his two boys (12 and 14 years old when he went to prison). One grew up to be a very successful businessman, a husband and a father. The other followed his father’s path of addiction and went to prison for attempted murder.
 
When they were grown, he asked them both the same question: "Why did your life turn out this way?" To which they both gave the same answer, “How else could my life turn out having a father like that?”
 
Ultimately, the life we’re living comes down to our own decisions, not our circumstances.

The Question of Drive: Genetics vs. Environment. What is it that makes some people "driven" and others seem to just wait to see what happens?

Listen in for a front seat on this conversation by father and son. 
 
Episode #892 May 12, 2023
 
Questions:
 
1. Do we need an “inciting incidence” to change the direction of our lives? 
 
2. How much are we affected by our environments in the decisions we make? 
 
3. “Drive” implies pushing to get ahead and there are clear images that come to mind when we say someone is “driven”. Is there ever a point at which we need to back off on being driven?
