Not Where You Thought You Would Be?

What if…… I told you that is OK? What if you can still have it and be where you wanted to be and more?

Welcome back my friends!

Welcome back to Breakthrough with Lew. It’s Friday morning, a perfect time for introspection and growth. Have you ever found yourself asking, “How did I get here?” You might recall that old song questioning the same. But more importantly, let’s ask ourselves on a deeper level: Are you where you thought you would be right now?

Reflecting on Your Journey

Take a moment to seriously ponder: Are you where you wanted to be? Are you behind your expectations or right on target, living the life you envisioned? Are you financially where you thought you’d be, or has life thrown you some curveballs along the way?

Many people find themselves somewhere in between—some aspects of life have exceeded their wildest dreams, while others have fallen short. This reflection often uncovers a crucial realization: Whether you are incredibly excited or deeply disappointed about where you are, these emotions can be powerful catalysts for change.

Embracing the Extremes

If you are thrilled about your life, that excitement will drive you to even greater heights. Conversely, if you’re extremely disappointed, that frustration can fuel the determination to make a significant change. The most dangerous place to be is in that lukewarm middle ground of acceptance and complacency. Here, there’s no pressing motivation to take action and improve.

Imagine you’re floating down a river, unaware that Niagara Falls lies ahead. If you’re not actively swimming and steering your life, you might find yourself going over the edge. Life moves quickly, especially as responsibilities and daily tasks fill your time. It’s easy to look back and wonder, “Where did the time go?”

The Niagara Syndrome

Without direction and focus, you risk floating along with the status quo, only to crash emotionally later in life. You don’t want to reach your final days with regrets of “could have, should have, would have.” Instead, aim to look back at a life full of bold choices and powerful experiences.

What Changed?

Consider what has changed from your childhood dreams to now. Life happens: careers, children, responsibilities. But remember, even those with the busiest lives still pursue their dreams. Did you lose your drive, identity, or belief in yourself along the way? Are you blaming external circumstances or people for where you are now?

Taking Action

Everyone faces challenges—some endure significant hardships. Yet, responses vary drastically. One person succumbs to a life of defeat, while another uses their experiences to rise and inspire others. It all comes down to the action you take and the meaning you assign to events in your life.

Designing Your Life

It’s never too late to decide what you want out of life. Don’t let excuses hold you back. Focus on your desires, take action, and maintain your drive. Remember what the band Journey says: “Don’t stop believing.” And like Coach Lew always emphasizes: “Don’t stop trying.”
