Life by Design
Are you living your Life by Design or by Default?
Have you found yourself at a place in your life that you didn’t plan and don’t want? You are not alone.
Unfortunately for most of us, we were brought up in a system that doesn’t really focus on what truly makes us happy or teaches us to create a life plan that is designed to achieve a life of abundance and joy.
So, rather than following what the current system teaches us, we should begin with defining what a life of abundance and joy looks and feels like to us. From there, we can create a path to get us there.
Imagine for a moment what your ideal life would look and feel like. Think of it in terms of ‘If time and money were not a factor’…
Would you continue living in your current location? Where would you live and with whom? What would you do with your day? Would you still be doing the same work you are currently doing for a living? What makes you happy?
Is your career supporting your ideal life of joy and abundance? Do you have enough time in your day to fulfill your needs for family, friends, yourself, your hobbies and your ideal lifestyle? Would you change anything about this situation if you could? What would you change?
Those things are mostly external. But have you also considered the personal/internal? This focuses more on your physical container and your mental and spiritual well-being.
Are you happy with your physical container, your body? Is there anything you would like to improve? Yes, you are a beautiful creature created by God and therefore loved for the You that you were created to be.
Sometimes though, we don’t take as great a care of our container as we should and over the years, this has an affect. If this is the case, we can decide to do what we can to get our container back to a more healthy state.
Yes, we are talking about feeding ourselves better nutrition and exercising at least enough to feel better.
What about your joy… your internal spiritual/mental life? Are you experiencing all the happiness you would like to be enjoying? Can you identify anything that is standing in the way of you waking up happy and grateful every day?
Addressing and answering these questions will help create YOUR Life by Design.
Creating Your Life By Design
“Begin with the end in mind. Instead of waiting for others to make things happen, successful people develop their own clear vision of what they want to achieve in their business and where they will land in the future.” – Stephen Covey
Achievement is something you reach or attain, like a goal. It is something tangible, clearly defined and measurable.
Success, in contrast, is a feeling or a state of being. Achievement comes when you pursue and attain WHAT you want. Success comes when you are clear and in pursuit of WHAT you want and WHY you want it.
Cultures are groups of people who come together around a common set of values and beliefs. This set of values and beliefs form a purpose or Why.
It All Starts With Why
Everyone can easily describe the products and services they offer and their role in the sales process because these are typically top of mind due to the daily participation of this activity. This is considered WHAT one does.
HOW a product works or a service performs is often used to compare to a competitors product, service or process.
While many people think that this comparison is a motivating factor in a decision, this is still missing a more important point; WHY.
WHY is your motivating factor. It is your purpose, cause or belief. It is why you get out of bed every morning. It is what fires you up or brings tears to your eyes when you think about it. You can feel it in your chest and your belly. When one speaks from a place of WHY, the passion and enthusiasm is expressed and others just want to be a part of that in whatever way they can.
Therefore, WHY is the true driving force for every successful person and company.
Our Why Is Simple
We call it our vision of helping people live better lives. That’s really at the core and foundation of everything we do. We do this in part by really CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE and helping them live healthier, more confident, and more financially secure lives. We inspire people to do the things that inspire them, so that, together, we can change the world.
This also requires learning how to create our Life by Design using methods and tools of our new economy. The world has changed and we must learn to change with it. You are invited to connect with us and let us help you create YOUR Life by Design starting today!
