Shareable Nugget #3: You Can Choose

Yeah, there was a time when I just really didn’t know what I was doing.

I don’t know if you’ve felt that. I felt that.

I was running, running, running really, really hard. I was achieving goal after goal after goal. People were saying, good job, good job, great job Dave, hey, good job.

But I didn’t really feel it. I didn’t want it.

I didn’t want to be there, where I was. Even though where I was, was awesome.

When I look back at it, if I would have had some excitement or changed my mind about where I was, I would have been in an incredible place.

But I didn’t.

I chose to hide the fact that I wasn’t happy. Instead of just choosing to be happy.

I chose to hide the fact with a big old smile on my face and say, “Hey, I’m happy right now.”

But you know what, I wasn’t happy. I didn’t know what it took to be happy.

I thought what it took to be happy was what everybody else had. What everybody else told me I could have.

I set some big goals and I achieved those goals, I got those goals, but when I got those goals, I stood at the top of my plateau and I asked myself,

“What is this all about? Why did I climb this mountain? How am I serving people?”

Oh wait, I’m not really serving people, that’s right! That’s why I don’t feel fulfilled.

The fulfillment happens when you take your life experiences organize them into a structured way and then share them with the world so it can benefit others because what you have gone through, is your gold.

What you have gone through has created deep veins of gold, deep within your mind, but you can’t get to gold unless you dig.

You can’t get to your gold unless you dig. You won’t find your gold on the surface of the land. Maybe just a nugget, but that tells you where to dig.
