A few years ago I woke up one morning, looked at my life, and asked…”Is this it? Is this all there is?”

Understand something – at that moment (and still to this very day) I was married to a wonderful woman, had four great kids, a decent, well-paying job, and owned my own home in a nice neighborhood. In other words, I had what many people across the country strive for every day – comfort and stability.

And I hated it.

Frankly, from my viewpoint life sucked. I couldn’t stand my job. I didn’t care if I ever went into the office again for I wasn’t being challenged nor did I have any real interest in the industry in which I worked.  I was staying in the job solely because it provided my family with the security I wanted them to have. My relationship with my wife had settled into mediocrity – not because of anything she’d done, but because I couldn’t seem to find any interest in any part of my life. I was horribly unhappy and filled with a slow-burning anger that would erupt at unusual moments as a result. Physically, I was out of shape and getting more overweight by the day. The same could be said about my spiritual life. In short, I was a mess.

Until that morning I woke up asking myself…Is this it? Is this what I have to look forward to for the next four or five decades?

I’m betting many of you can identify with what I was feeling. And you can relate for a very simple reason – you’ve asked yourself the very same question. Is this it?

Let me tell you, no, it’s not it. There is more. So much more. But we have to make the conscious decision to go after it in order to get out of the trap our lives have become. I did it and so can you.

Today I run my own life coaching business while continuing my dream career of being a novelist. I’ve come to recognize the unique gifts I’ve been given to be a storyteller and a speaker and I use those gifts every day in both business and personal relationships. Never have I felt more fulfilled or more clear about what I should be doing with my life than I do today.

And you can feel the same way too.
