Is something standing in your way? Then fix it!

After I presented Take Control of Your Life in public for the first time, I was talking with a friend about it. He was interested in the six ways to lead a happier life but hadn't been able to attend the live session. As we were talking, he told me that he had recently made some changes in his life to accomplish some goals that are important to him.

What he told me was this - "I want to give myself the chance to meet more women and develop a long-term relationship. And I want to make sure I get in shape and healthy." After looking at the habits he had developed in his personal life, he realized that he spent a lot of time playing online role-playing games, like World of Warcraft. Those games can be a lot of fun but he realized that, in his case, it was an impediment to meeting new people. So he quit.

Now he says he is getting more done and feels like he can accomplish things that are more important to him.

He figured out what he wants, what he needs to do to get it and what was standing in his way. Then he took action. He strikes me as a pretty smart guy that knows ultimate control is in his own hands.
