Why not make life better? Create a life you would love to live. No matter what you think of your existence, there is someone somewhere dreaming of the life you are living now. But it’s still ok to dream of improving your life.
How do you create a life you would love to live? If you already love your life and do not feel the need for improvement, keep doing what you are doing.
If not, you must be clear about what “Creating a life you would love to live” means.
Are you the happiest person you know? Would you like to live the life of the happiest person you know? Probably not. Let’s look at the type of life you will need to create to become the happiest person you know.
Let’s create a life we would love to live today. Most never consider it, but it’s possible with hard work and a little time.
Create A Life You Would Love To Live Self-assessment
We have already established that creating a life you would love to live is unique to each individual. I read the Business Insider article “6 of the biggest misconceptions about happiness, according to science,” which may give insight into what makes a person happy.
.
Please understand MONEY WILL NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY! I know it seems counter-intuitive, but it is true. The best way to begin creating a life you would love is to understand what it means to you.
Take This Free Life Assessment to evaluate your life and gain insight into achieving your balance and shaping your destiny.
Once you have completed the self-assessment, you will be better equipped to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Creating A Life, You Would Love To Live
Imagine you were pre-programmed to make life choices with your heart instead of your head. Would you be happier? Would you be the person your 8-year-old self thought you would be?
I believe it would be easier to create a life you would love to live if choices were made with your heart.
No one has found the secret to creating a life you would love. It can seem impossible to simultaneously manage a career, relationships, family, health, diet, fitness, and spirituality.
While creating a life, you would love to live. Whew!
Here are a few steps I believe will set the foundation to create a life you would love to live and not need a vacation from:
1. Develop a Vision
Whether you use the results of the Free Self-assessment or strive to become the person your 8-year-old self believed you would be, you need to develop a vision. Allow the vision to be fluid and free to change, but stay true to it.
Keep the vision of playing like a television show in your mind all day and allow it to influence your daily decisions. Be conscious of your choices, and this vision will become your compass.
2. Take Deliberate Daily Action
Develop a battle plan. Please write it down. Please put it on your calendars. Journal it. Post notes to yourself. Yell it from the rooftops. Keep your goal front, center, and present.
Be sure to celebrate every victory and accomplishment. Every goal reached should be a cause for celebration. These actions will strengthen you when times are good and provide a crutch, support, and motivation when times become more complex.
Re-run the movie of your celebrations in the back of your mind every day. Smile and keep pushing forward, knowing every day will bring you closer, creating a life you would love to live.
3. Please Don’t Give Up
It will be challenging to change your life and become successful at anything. Creating a life you would love to live will require much time and effort.
It would be best if you held yourself accountable. This is your dream. Don’t be denied. Work even harder at it than you presently believe you can. Lean on your friends and family if you have to.
Enlist their help when necessary, even if they don’t fully understand your goal. Creating a life you would love to live will be worth it tenfold.
4. Results Will Produce Results
As you begin to be more successful, you will start to become even more successful (if that makes sense) LOL. Not only will you begin to find out what works for you, but success will also begin to attract even more success.
Now that you are becoming the change you seek, like-minded people will begin to seek you. The glow of happiness and success will become a magnet. As times become more manageable and less stressful, don’t let up.
Work even harder to create a life you would love to live. Hard times are always lurking around the corner.
5. Focus On What’s Working
Stay committed, be present, and work towards personal growth. Stick with your plan and stay vigilant. Constantly move towards what is working and yielding results.
This will require you to enjoy the process and work towards emotional, spiritual, financial, and physical growth.
Lead by example and follow examples you admire in your life. They have demonstrated wisdom and shared what you learn from them with others. Everyone knows and understands you can benefit from it.
Look for good reads, workshops, seminars, and classes that may enhance your personal development. Be creative, have fun, stay focused, and continue to work every day to create a life you would love to live.
6. Yell It From The Roof Tops
The journey to create a life you would love to live will be long and hard. The alternative is even worse: living a life you hate. When you think about it, there is no other choice.
Every day, tell the world that you intend to fight and work hard to create a life you would love to live. Don’t be embarrassed if the neighbors hear you. LOL.
Make it clear to the universe that you pity the fool or force attempting to get in your way. OWN IT!
The return on your investment in yourself and the world will reap immeasurable rewards. Most people live their whole lives, never believing they have the power to create a life you would love to live.
Be an inspiration to them and allow them to be your power source.
Be the crazy person they remember, constantly reminding them they can create a life they would love to live as they witness you yelling it from the rooftops. Take the Self-assessment to create a life you would love to live and become an authority to help others achieve the same.
Thanks for your comment Bob. Why a person started the journey is key. If a person is in Law School just because their family wants that for them and all they dream of is being a dancer they should quit Law School. Quitting can be good if it makes you happy.
It the why for creating a plan is solely to make money or to look better in someones eyes it is doomed from the start. Their why sucks. LOL. The most motivating why is to create happiness for yourself, providing a healthy environment for your family and helping others. Those whys are very difficult to quit on.
Re-evaluate your why Bob. It maybe the wrong why. Allow your heart to chose your why. If there is something else you would like to be doing that maybe the better why.
If a person believes they have the correct why and still find it difficult to continue they should use past success to help motivate them. The should find their tribe to help motivate them and provide the same service to other tribe members in need. When the correct why is found, never take one step backward. Always move forward. Everything is temporary, good times and bad times.
Tony, thanks so much for al the educational information.
I really like your site and all the information, my problems is not sticking with the plan you have put before me even though I think it is amazing. What would you tell me if I got half way through your list and was to give up? How can I stay focus after getting a good start?
I reall like this post Tony. It is especially relevant to me as a young individual on a journey for success and entrepreneurship. Your site is nicely designed as well ! Great work
Thank you for the kind words Julian. I wish you great success. Stay focused, determined and vigilant along the way.
Enjoy creating wonderful memories with good friends and family. People are more important than stuff.
This is a great post — very empowering and lots of great takeaways. Do you have any advice for what people should do when they get stuck on their journey? I teach others how to program and am continually looking for ways to help people get unstuck rather than mired down in issues. Thanks in advance for any other insights you could add that I can share with my followers.
Thanks for your comment Laura. My advice for anyone that becomes stuck and bogged down on a chosen journey is to remember the why. Remember why they started the journey.
Remember the benefits and the rewards that come with successful completion of that Journey. That is why I say one should celebrate all progress, large and small.
Reminiscing about these pass celebrations can be used as fuel and motivation to help carry you through the difficult times along the way. They will begin to look forward to creating more reasons to celebrate and creating even greater memories.
