good morning believe nation today’s
messages find your path over to you
marie forleo you know my first gig out
of college was on Wall Street on the new
york stock exchange and this pre
everything this is like just out of
college 21 years old and I knew one of
my drives I wanted to be really
successful but not just to like get
shoes I knew I wanted to make money
because I wanted to make a difference i
wanted to be able to take care of my
family I wanted to be able to contribute
to causes that I believe in and so I
knew in order to do that in my own mind
I was like well I want to make a lot of
money and make this stuff happen but
when i was on Wall Street even though so
many people that I worked with multi
multi millionaires I mean the money was
ridiculous while they were financially
rich they were spiritually bankrupt and
I felt like there was a part of me that
was dying inside and I said this is not
my path I don’t know what my path is but
I need to leave this because I feel sick
and so I think many people feel like
that you can find yourself and job and
job and job and you want to do a really
you want to do great work in the world
you’re giving it your best thats some
little voice inside is saying this isn’t
me this isn’t me and I kept having that
voice until finally i left the corporate
world and started my own business for
those of you loyal viewers you’ve known
that when i was in high school I thought
it was going to be a banker it was in my
high school yearbook and I had the
opportunity to become a banker earn you
know 80 hundred-thousand-dollar starting
salary at the company that I wanted to
work at and I said no to become an
entrepreneur when I was making three
hundred dollars a month because I didn’t
want to live with regret that I made the
wrong decision and and it just it felt
right and I think this is a challenge
for a lot of people because i feel like
people know when something doesn’t feel
right i feel like you know you know i
feel like you know somewhere that this
isn’t the right thing to do you’re just
too scared to do the right thing where
you don’t know what the right thing is
you just know that what you’re doing
right now is not the right thing and if
you don’t know where to jump to then it
can be really scary and it’s having the
courage to move forward on a path that’s
unknown versus taking the safe path that
is known but doesn’t feel right I think
that’s where most people fall down like
not everybody wants to be an
entrepreneur I get dad is totally cool
but people do have dreams people you
know do have aspirations and they’re not
realizing them and they’re stuck in a
job that they hate or a life that they
hate or relationship they hate or an
environment that they hate because it’s
just okay you know it’s not bad enough
to make them want to leave but just
because it’s okay it means that they
don’t strive for something much greater
and if they don’t know where they want
to go you don’t know you don’t have that
clear vision for where you want to go
then it’s massively scary to have the
courage to go out and take that leap and
I think one is just having the awareness
and hearing different people say that
you shouldn’t settle for mediocre life
that if you feel like you want to do
something more that you at least owe it
to yourself to do it so you’re not that
80 year old sitting back on your
deathbed thinking man I wish you did
more with my life I wish I changed my
dream and then to recognize that doesn’t
have to be an all-or-nothing thing like
if you don’t like your life right now or
a part of it your job or your
relationship or something you don’t have
to just quit and then move on to
something else I that came work for some
people but I’m in the school of thought
of just our trying stuff part-time like
try for an hour a day it doesn’t have to
be something massively radical and crazy
and I think if you can get your head
around that then it reduces the fear
reduces the uncertainty and then
hopefully gets you a little bit excited
because you want to be excited about the
dream thing that you’re you’re often
chasing and so I would echo the point
that if you are not happy with something
in your life I kind of try to live by
this if I’m not happy with something for
too long my schedule my work environment
something if I’m if I’m not excited not
even not happy if I’m if I’m not excited
by something
for too many days in a row then
something has to change you know I I
changed my schedule around constantly I
have some core principles but i’ll
change it around based on what’s
happened in my life and i don’t think
people are static beams like things will
change in your life and if you don’t
adapt and grow as things and changing as
you grow then you’re going to feel out
of place then you’re going to feel
unhappy and unsatisfied and so your life
is never perfect it’s just constantly
evolving and you need to catch up to it
as you change that you change your life
alongside with you and stop settling for
okay stop settling for mediocrity stop
settling for just good if you’re not
happy with something in your life accept
responsibility and start making some
changes doesn’t have to be all in just
start right now so the question today is
I want to know one area of your business
or your life that you’re not happy with
that you’re going to make a change today
with could be a small minor change
that’s cool just you’re going to make a
change right now because you’re not
happy with it leave in the comments
below I’m going to join the discussion
thank you guys so much for watching have
an amazing day continue to believe and
i’ll see you again small morning for
another shot of espresso
