You Will Know When You Are On The Right Life Path

The road to success is not a straight path. It is arguably more akin to a formula 1 circuit, with numerous directional changes that require expert handling to make it to the finish line without crashing. Sometimes, it is hard to know whether or not you are headed in the right direction. I believe that as long as the end goal is broad enough to leave room for flexibility, yet aligned with your talents, passions and higher purpose as well as being constant, then it is okay to have some zig zags along the way. Here are a few different ways to help you figure out if you are on the right path in life:

You Are Excited To Wake Up Every Morning
You wish you did not have to spend any time sleeping because you have so many great ideas running through your mind. You cannot wait to tackle the day and do something that you are genuinely passionate about. Every day is truly a new adventure, and the sheer volume of things you want to accomplish can feel almost overwhelming.

You Are Learning Something New Everyday
You never grow old if you are putting new information into your brain. Some people, on the other hand, are metaphorically six feet deep simply because they have unplugged their brains for the remainder of their life.  In order to be successful, you must go to bed a little wiser than you were in the morning.

You Are Exercising Regularly
Science is continually pointing to the connection between the health of one's body and one's emotional wellbeing. Becoming active and exercising not only makes you healthier physically, but can also help to increase the mental fortitude needed to become a successful person.

You Are Surrounding Yourself With Like Minded People
Your circle of friends include people who want more out of life, just like you do. You discuss ideas instead of gossiping about others. It is said that your success has a nearly direct correlation to the people you associate with. Your group is filled with intelligent and innovative people.

You Are Setting Goals AND Achieving Them
You are making a commitment to become a better individual. You are following through with your short term goals in order to eventually achieve your long term ones. Others can rely on you, and you can take great pride in knowing that you are living up to your own standards. You look in the mirror and you are proud of the person you see.

You Are Curious
You can grasp the fact that the world is ripe with opportunity. You want to know all of the different ways that you can improve yourself and put yourself into a position to catapult yourself to the next level. You have a thirst for knowledge that cannot be quenched. You want to know everything about everything.

Your friends, family and peers are noticing the changes you have made. When you are on the rise, people around you will take note of it. They may comment on the weight you have lost due to your new exercise regimen, or congratulate you on the new steps you are taking in your career. When you are dedicated to rising above the crowd, it is impossible to ignore. People will literally feel something when they are around you. They may not be able to put their finger on it, but they know you are going somewhere.

You Know What Is Important
You have figured out what matters and what does not. Things that are not directly tied into your plan for success are discarded. You have refined your life and your time is now being utilised in an efficient way. Basically, you have removed all of the unnecessary baggage from your life.

You Are Grateful
You know you have a long way to go, but you appreciate the things you are blessed with now. You realise that life has to be lived in the moment, regardless of how favourable the circumstances may be.

You Do Not Settle
Although you are grateful for what you have, you have not settled. You live life to the edge or completely outside of your comfort zone. You make goals that stretch your efforts and capabilities. Going for something big does not seem so much daunting as it does exciting and inevitable, because you have made up your mind that you are not going to live small anymore.
