How are you living your life? Do you
live by design or
by default?
Said another way are you experiencing life on your own terms or is life
dictating the terms to you? Either way the choice is yours. In a consumeristic
world, it’s easy to fall foul and remain on the treadmill of life doing what the
masses do when the masses do it.
In recent years there has been a shift
of what I would call plantation awareness. Where many have realised that the acquisition
of high-ticket items a perceived lifestyle of living in the fast lane in an
effort to keep up with the Joneses is meaningless simple because the Joneses
are broke. The perception was never a true reality, call it smoke and mirrors.
Signs to look out
for when living by default:
Your dreams and goals are all but a
distant memory, the thought of resurrecting them brings on a debilitating migraine
clothed in disappointment and shrouded in pain.
You dread the day ahead. Instead of
being motivated, inspired and optimistic of all the possible opportunities,
you’re discouraged, anxious and despondent dreading another day on the
treadmill of an unfulfilled life.
You struggle to let go. You do what’s
familiar even though you know it no longer serves you anymore. You keep the same
negative friends, stay in the same career, live in the same street, remain in the
same unhealthy relationship wishing and hoping for things to change.
How can you live
a life by design?
Setting your compass. Having a direction
accompanied by focus (Following One Course Until Successful) allows for clarity
for what you most want and why forgoing what you want now (safety and comfort)
for what’s important and meaningful (contribution and legacy.)
Saying no more often. Saying yes is always the easier option
however you’ve got to say no to the good so that you can say yes to the great. Understand
this mustering up the courage to say no to the things that do not serve you
automatically gives you access and opportunity to all that lends to living life
by design and fulfilling your goals and dreams.
Reflect,
rethink and review. Setting aside time weekly, monthly and annually for your
vision and the higher intention behind it (your why), to review your goals and to adjust your actions
accordingly. Remembering that your plans are not set in stone. Never be
too attached to your plans that you become closed to adjustment and flexibility
always be able to pivot.
