Do you want more out of your life? Trying to figure out how to get “the edge”?

Here’s 7 things you can do today..

1. Figure out what you really want.

Do you know what “the edge” you’re looking for is? Do you know what your most important goals are?

Do you know what you want out of your life?

Do a quick self inventory and find out all the values that are important to you..

Write them down

Now, ask yourself what is the future you want to create?

Write that down in a couple sentences too.

2. Find a charity you’re passionate about and help out!

A little depressed? Get out of yourself and try giving. Make someone else’s day and your day is easily made beautiful!

Find a charity or a cause you really care about.

What is it?

Is it raising money for breast cancer research? Volunteering with the kids? Making sandwiches for the homeless? Fighting AIDS? What is it?

Personally, the cause I’m most passionate about is clean drinking water and sanitation in the third world. If that interests you, please check out Hydraid.org

3. Shut up and Listen

Give your mind some rest. It really works. A relaxed mind = highly productive mind. Instead of having to talk talk talk all the time, practice some quietness and listening to others.

A lot of BIG problems can be solved if we are only willing to shut up and listen to others who are offering us the solution!!

4. Plan How You’re Going to Do It

A goal without a plan is…..still a dream.

Sit down and plan how you’re going to get to your goals. Your plans can change later, the important bit is to give yourself a point to start.

5. Create Time for Things That are Important

Tired of running around all day doing “nothing”?

Find out what values are important to you..

Make them your priorities and learn how to manage your time

Create more time for your goals and your family

More time for things that are important to you = satisfied you = brilliant you!
