When Chelsea and I were first starting out we asked ourselves, “What do I want to do?”
We pondered over this question, got frustrated by this question and often ignored it thinking that would help.
“What do I want to do?” became a common sentence that would run off our tongue so many times it sounded like it was on repeat!
“What do I want to do… with my life?”
“What do I want to do… with my career?”
“What do I want to do… with my relationship?”
We would go in circles and become frustrated with the answers. Not sure of what we wanted. Until we changed the question with one word! Instead of “What do I want to do?” we started saying, “What can I do?”
“What can I do… with my life?”
“What can I do… with my career?”
“What can I do…with my relationship?”
This opened up our minds and let a new light in. We were aware of what we could do and capable of. Once we realized all the things we could accomplish, that is when we moved to, “Now what do we want to do with it and why?”
What can you do? What can you do right now to make your life better? What do you have right now that can make you happier? What one thing can you do to be a better friend, family member or member of society?
Change the “what do I want” to “what can I” and your life will change. For us it did! It brought us clarity and keeps us focused on what is important in our life. We are not bogged down by the weight of what we want to do but rather understand we are capable of so much more. Focusing on the “can” helps you create your “why!”
So my question for you today is, “What can you do?” Think about it and use it to make things happen in your life! Enjoy your day and as always…
Dream BIG,
Ryan
