We all want different things out of life – but how many of us are actually living the lives we have envisioned for ourselves? As I have turned 30, that’s the question I keep asking myself.
And then I started reading The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives that Make you Feel Alive – The inspirational book by bestselling author Brendon Burchard has opened questions about my life and what I want -- things that I’ve kind of left on the backburner.
Brendon has sparked desire to change the direction of how I’m living, from a comfortable life, to a charged one.
I feel fortunate that I don’t fall into The Caged Life category as so many other moms that I know do. Maybe you can relate. A Cage Life is one that has been outlined for you – your beliefs, thoughts and feelings have been molded by parents or spouses, and you essentially feel trapped in your own life.
I fall into The Comfortable Life category, which is definitely a step up for The Caged Life, but it’s not the life I truly desire. The Comfortable Life is just that – comfortable. Day-to-day routines are the same because that’s the easiest way to live. This life feels safe, and when I look at it with open eyes – I’m just stuck in a rut.
The life most of us wish for is The Charged Life– this is the life of living for the day – to the fullest -- enjoying everything in the process and taking obstacles with ease. It’s a life with energy, confidence and enthusiasm. It’s the life I want!
Whether you’re living The Caged Life or The Comfortable Life, Brendan does an excellent job of breaking down exactly what your challenges are, and how you can overcome them to achieve The Charged Life. He does this by having you take a hard look at what you want to achieve, and applying that to the 10 human drives that make you feel alive.
By the end of the book, my head was clearer and I felt inspired to accomplish more, both personally, and professionally. And it wasn't just about huge, monumental changes, but little things I want out of life-- like living healthier and having more confidence in my career. By feeling "more alive", I realize that I can do anything.
If you feel you aren’t living your life to the fullest, I encourage you to read The Charge. It's an easy read and it could change your life!
