Create the Life You Want

Take a moment to stop and think about your life. Think about the things that you are doing, the relationships that you have, and where you are headed. Now ask yourself, is that the life you want?

If your answer is yes, then you can stop reading. But if you are one of the many people who I’m sure answered no, the time is now to create the life you want.

So often we go through life doing things that are not fulfilling to us and maintaining relationships that are not meaningful. We do it because it’s easy; because we’re content, and a lot of times because we are afraid of change or failure. But if we just take the first step, no matter how small it is, to create that life that we want, incredible things will happen. But first, you must have the drive.

Everything I do now is to create the life that I want. These are the three areas of my life that I use to help me create the life I want:

1. Career. Is this the career or job(s) that are going to help me achieve my ultimate goals in life?
2. Relationships. Are these meaningful relationships that I have with my friends, family, and colleagues? If not, what am I going to do about it?
3. Leisure. Is how I spend my time outside of work productive to my life and goals – such as working out, blogging, traveling, etc. – or is it counterintuitive to my goals

Once I tacked each of these individually, collectively they all worked together.

In 2015, my hashtag for the year was Clarity and I was able to start and shape what I wanted in life. At 30 years old, I don’t want to go through life living vicariously through other people. I want to love every aspect of my life and do things because I can, not because I have to. No, I’m not where I ultimately want to be, but every day, I get closer and closer and it’s a beautiful thing!
