Create the Life You Really Want

Living the life you dream of requires intention — and a few other things.

We often live our lives on autopilot. We work because we need the income. We cook and clean because we have families to take care of and that’s just what you do. We workout because it’s drummed into us by doctors, media, and society that we’re supposed to.

We do these things because we feel we have to, because it’s the way things have always been done, and often because we’re just not really sure what other options we might have.

But recent months have shown us that there are other options. As life slammed to a halt and jobs were lost, businesses like gyms and movie theaters were closed, and stores were coming up short on items we’ve always considered necessary, we’ve scrambled to find alternatives.

In searching out alternatives, we’ve begun to realize that we don’t have to keep doing the same things we’ve always done. We’ve started to see that there are often multiple paths to the same goal and we’ve stopped judging not only our own choices, but those of others.

As we start searching for answers about what comes next and what our new normal will look like, this is the ideal time to create the life you really want to live.
