The Driving Force of Life

It is amazing to me that our energy levels can be influenced so much by the outside world and our perceptions of it. For many people the world is looked at on a daily basis with no real concept of how little time we truly have on this earth. These types of people will live their life in a monotonous circle, doing the same routines until they are forced to change. At that point they adjust to a new routine and carry on as if this is the only way to live.  Tbey never truly discover meaning in their life nor do they even care. Life seems to be a simple list of daily actions to complete.
     The second group of people are those that live in the same routine as the first group but wish to be more. They know that there is more to this world than a routine exercise and they have a small desire to change and see things differently but they lack the courage to step out of the comfort zone and risk something to achieve that dream. They will continue to live this life always wishing but never doing.
      The third group are the successful types. These are the people that are perceived to be lucky in life because they have everything they want and more. The truth to their success is all about risk though and the knowledge that was acquired during the failures that were overcome along the way. These people set the standards for those in the second group and continuously raise that bar.
      We can all be grouped into o e of these categories and many times in our lives we will find ourselves between these three groups but ultimately it comes down to a choice. How will you see the world and what will drive you to achieve higher standards for yourself?  When you find that drive to be better, you will also find that your energy levels are through the roof and nothing in life will ever slow you down.
