Focus on Your Strengths Only

We all have a picture in our minds that we associate with success where we are doing something we love. For me it has always been sitting in front of a bay-window with a grand scene in front of me. I would be at a desk with a laptop writing my next book. Of course I would also be very successful, healthy, and wealthy and have many great relationships.

That imaginary scene vanished with the first essay I wrote at McGill University. Every professor admits that I have an excellent sense of adventure when I write… "And yet Daniel, you need to be clearer…I'm sure you'll do better on the next assignment…" Well I tried and tried for 3 years and now I'm sick of waiting. My writing has improved it just isn't where I want it to be. Nevertheless, I want to begin writing online now.

When it comes to self-improvement, commitments, original ideas and creative solutions I never ceased to amaze people. Writing on paper in a coherent way is another story. I was going to wait another 2-3 years or however long it would take me to learn to write properly until…

…I changed my mind this summer.

I decided that I was no longer going to post pone telling other people about how they can enjoy the quality of their lives more today. This all comes easy to me-and I sure do have a great life as a result of it. But everyone else seems to be struggling to see the joy in life and make ends meet in their relationships. The kinds of problems/challenges I face in life today are ones like:

1.    Shall I add more to my monthly RRSP deduction?

2.    What should I do with the extra $800?

It seems that everyone else is facing problems much more substantial than mine. I'm dead serious; I really don't have any issues with anything at this junction in my life; things have been this way for over a year now.

Experience is teaching me that I will quickly loose the competitive conversation I have with people that usually involves them saying "Oh! You think YOU have it bad!?! Wait till you hear what I've been going through-…"

I have decided that even though my writing is not up to scratch (yet, I'm actively working on it), I will still begin writing articles, reports, blogs and giving presentations to help people grow and increase the quality of their lives. I want you to have a better day today because you took the time to do something you love doing.
