How to Live a Life by Design

0

If you are lucky enough to breathe for the next 365 days, then you will have lived one year of life. The choice is whether you live a life that you design or one by default. Living a life by design means that when you are consciously choosing the direction toward which you want your life to move.

By contrast, living a life by default is when you just allow things to happen, without consciously directing your thoughts or efforts toward what you want. This happens when you hear yourself say things like, “Why does this always happen to me?” “I never get any breaks.” Living a life by default also occurs when you live by what other people want.  You try so hard to meet the expectations of others. When you find yourself unfulfilling their needs, you may be riddled with guilt.

It’s important to note that to live a life by design you must decide on what you authentically want. What makes your heart sing? What would make you want to jump out of bed each morning? If you didn’t have to worry about money, what other people thought, social status, or anything else, what would your life look like?

Here are a few tips to help ensure that you live a life that you design, rather than living on autopilot.

1. Clarity. The first thing you must do in order to create a life by design is to get a clear picture of what you want your life to look like. Consider all aspects of your life and get as detailed and specific as possible.

2. Take Action. Visioning alone will not help you create and manifest the life that you desire.  You must take consistent action steps in the direction of your life vision.  Mind you, it doesn’t have to be HUGE steps each time.  Start small.  Figure out the next best step for you to take today, then take it.

3. Correct Course. As you take action steps, be mindful.  Consistently monitor and evaluate whether your actions are serving you.  If they are not, take the time to evaluate and correct course when necessary.  Don’t waste ANY energy criticizing yourself for not doing things perfectly — you’re human and evolving. The  evolutionary process is sometimes messy.

Let me be clear, even when you consciously choose to live a life by design, it doesn’t mean that everything will always be smooth sailing. It’s still life – which means, you will still have ups and downs. But, you know where you are headed, and each step you take (even the side steps that you take to deal with an unexpected turn of events) leads you closer to the vision you have for yourself.

Now, what are you going to design for yourself?
