Prisoner of Your Own Choices

"The price of security is insecurity."- Dan Harris’s father’s advice

I am amazed at how many unhappy people are unhappy.  The best way to observe this is to watch people on Monday mornings.  Most people look beaten before the week has even started and it only drags from that point till Friday.

The funny part of this is that where we work is a choice.  We are either chosen by our employer to join that team AND we agree to that choice.  So when things turn bad and you are miserable you always feel that you can not go anywhere else because you were "chosen".  Until one day when the company "chooses" to       un-choose you.   Or you chose to go somewhere else.

I am a firm believer in the third chose- work on your dreams while working for someone else OR simply work for yourself.  Find what you are passionate about and work on it after work.  Work on that invention until you can put it out on the market.  Write that book until you publish it. 

The third choice is to "Choose Yourself" as James Altucher calls it.  Choose to work on yourself, your projects , your ideas, your X, etc.

Today's question is:

"Do you  chose to work on your X, instead of waiting to be chosen by others?"
