A friend of mine just made a great post on his blog and I asked him if I could borrow it.
Is it about whether you are drifting through life or if you are driving your life.
This may pertain to your whole life or just certain areas. His post was about being in control of your thoughts, feeling and emotions but it can just as easily apply to your finances, budget, saving and financial future.

Drifting or Driving?
Drifting is the decision made by choosing not to decide or when you make a decision with notable consequences you aren’t taking responsibility for.
This morning I was reading a great article on the Happiness Project website about “Drifting” and I thought I’d share an excerpt of it and the link to the full article.
After you check out the article ask yourself if you are drifting in life or driving your life?
“We drift into certain decisions because other people approve of them. Your sense of what is right for you becomes clouded by what other people think is right. You drift into medical school because your parents will be pleased. You drift into marriage because all your friends are getting married. You drift into a job because someone offers you that job. You want the respect of the people around you, or you want to avoid a fight or a bout of insecurity, so you take the path of least resistance. That’s drift.”
