This is where it all happens! You only have one life and it is now, not the future. So what are you going to do with it?
How to Have a Great Life
A great life doesn't happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and efforts towards what you want your life to be. You can stop setting yourself up for stress and failure, and start setting up your life to support success and ease. A great life is the result of using the 168 hours you get in a week in a creative and thoughtful way, instead of letting life happen to you. Here are a few ideas to help you start putting your life ahead.
1. Simplify
A great life is the result of simplifying your life. We use 20% of our things and maintain 100%. Your possessions own you. When you focus on simplifying your life, you free up time and energy for the work and events that you enjoy. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first.
2. Work at It
A great life is the result of your best effort. Creating a great life requires that you make some changes. It may mean re-evaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way, changing eating habits and lifestyle. It may mean looking for ways to spend your energy that coincide with your definition of a great life. Life will reward your best effort.
3. Prioritize
A great life is the result of creating priorities that are in line with your purpose and desires. It's easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time, energy, and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on working with obstacles, removing those that you can.
4. Create Reserves
A great life is the result of having reserves of time, space, energy, and money. Reserves are important because they provide resources and space to reduce the fear of consequences, and allow you to make decisions based on what you really want, instead of what you really fear.
5. Focus
A great life is the result of eliminating distractions and increasing focus. Up to 75% of your mental energy can be tied up in things that are draining and distracting you. Find ways to create focus toward your dreams in your life and reduce distractions that can derail your dreams.
6. Mind
A great life is the result of focusing your thoughts and mind on what you desire. Your belief in the outcome will directly dictate how successful you are. Motivated people have specific goals and look for ways to achieve them, they reinforce these thoughts often and put mental energy towards creating your desires.
7. Commit
A great life is the result of committing to your goals. There's no better time to start creating a better life than today. Don't wait for a raise, or until the kids get older, or the weather is better. Today, right now, is the right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart's desires. It's what you do TODAY that will make a difference in your life tomorrow.
