What kind of life are you living right now? Are you happy with the way that you are living or you would actually want more out of life?
Many people out there have accepted their place in this world and are actually living below the standard of life that they could actually be enjoying, some of these people have done this because of the societal beliefs and the fear of what other people will actually say about them when they truly try to live up to the standards that they believe in.
I know of a friend who got stuck in his day job as a professional teacher, waking up each and every morning to go teach kids at school but deep down in his heart he knows that he could actually contribute more to this world than just sharing his knowledge with kids.
He once confessed to me that he would like to start his own business and employ people but he is scared of what his colleagues at school will think when he quits teaching and starts a business selling sweets and bread.
He agreed that he actually wanted to raise his standards and actually thought that when he was able to start his own business, he would contribute more and help in reducing the level of unemployment.
The fear of feeling like a loser infront of his teacher friends did keep him in his place as a teacher and up to now he is still a teacher showing up in the classroom with no other better option for his life.
My hope is that someday he will not regret the things that he didnot do when he actually had the chance to do when he has reached his prime age or even his death bed.
What things are you going to regret when your time for leaving the earth comes? Is it possible for you to avoid those regrets? You could actually avoid those regrets if you truly want to.
The first step that you can take is to ignore the thoughts about what others will say when you leave your current job or the lifestyle that you are currently just tolerating and move on to the new kind of life that you would love to live.
Raising your standards depends on so many factors and these could be financial, the relationships that you currently do have and the health of your body.
If you are currently living a wishful life and have been forced to lower your standards of living just because of the people around you, it is time you start considering your desires and putting yourself first before what others actually think about you.
Start doing the things that you love, if you love driving buy yourself a car and drive it around , forget about what others will say about your brand new car.
I therefore urge you to focus on the kind of life that you would love to live, live the standard of life that you desire so that you will have a fruitful life.
