Tell me who hasn’t tried to be productive and plan their life to the nines, only to watch it all crumble within a fortnight? I’m raising my hand high because that’s exactly what’s been happening to me. So, you know what? I’ve decided it’s high time to uncover the secret recipe for building a truly amazing life.
Okay, quick show of hands, who doesn’t want a wonderful life? Exactly, I thought so. My hand is right there with yours, firmly down. Like you, I’m after a life that’s bursting with color and vibrancy. But, hey, can we actually achieve it, or is this a grand illusion we’re all buying into?
I choose to believe that this wondrous life is out there, waiting to be discovered. Maybe I just haven’t found it yet. So, guess what? I’m embarking on a thrilling adventure to unearth this magical existence, and I’m inviting you to come along for the ride!
Life, as it stands, might have its moments, but it feels somewhat grey with just occasional flashes of excitement. In my book, life should be vivid, with those occasional hints of grey. I’m all about keeping it real because these days, it’s tough to maintain authenticity. The world’s obsessed with making life seem more exciting than it really is, especially when you look at some of those perfectly curated social media feeds. It’s like everyone’s living a dream life, right? But is it the real deal? Does it even matter? What should matter?
I’ve got my own philosophies on life and how we should be living it, and I’m excited to share them with you. Granted, there’s a lot to unpack here because, well, life is kind of a massive subject. But someone’s got to tackle it, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do for you. Why? Because you’re out there busting your chops to keep a roof over your head, that’s why. You barely have time to read this blog, let alone research how to craft a colorful, meaningful, and fulfilling life. So, let me do the heavy lifting and research for you.
What’s the wisdom behind living a fulfilled life? One thing’s for sure: it’s got to be more than just posting a smiling picture and convincing the world that everything’s rosy. We want our lives to be genuinely fantastic.
I’m tired of the productivity race because doing more in less time often feels like a never-ending merry-go-round. So, where do we start on this epic journey? Well, every great adventure starts with the beginning, right? So, what do you see in your future? Is it what you genuinely want, or is it more of the same ol’, same ol’? Work, bills, and more work? If you’re nodding, you’re not alone. Most folks see that when they gaze into their future. Some people never even glance at their future; it’s only when they look back that they realize they’ve been busy but haven’t moved much.
We’re steering clear of that. So, our very first exercise is all about imagining. Yep, you’ve got permission to sit down for at least 30 minutes and let your imagination run wild. Did you know that taking a moment to stop and create space for your future is crucial? If you can’t see it, you can’t build it. If you can’t build it, you can’t have it. It’s as simple as that. So, put your tools down and give yourself the luxury of spending some precious time on creating. Because creation starts with what we think, and if we don’t think strategically, we’ll end up somewhere that doesn’t serve us. Instead of joy, you’ll end up feeling disappointed. But don’t worry, if you’re feeling a bit let down by life right now, taking the time to imagine and create a vision is your first step towards chasing your dream life.
Hold on tight, because this is going to be one wild ride, and I’ll catch you in my very next post. See you there!
With excitement and anticipation,
Love, Sheila x
