Are You Living Your Best Life NOW?

The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

-Oprah Winfrey

How do you feel about where you are in life today? Are you happy? Do you feel you are living the life of your dreams? If not, what steps are you taking to make sure you enjoy the one life you have? Do you have a vision for your life? A dream to pursue? A purpose? Here are three things you can do to get you on the path to living your best life now.

3 Ways to Live Your Best Life

Push Boundaries – Don’t sit around and wait for opportunities, create them. If you feel stuck in life, push through. It does not matter if it is a relationship, career, or mindset. You cannot live your best life if you are stuck. Push those boundaries. If you hate your nine-to-five, spend at least an hour or two a day planning for a change. What makes you happy? What is your dream job? Do you want to start your own business? Answer those questions. Then, plan and do the work to get or create the job of your dreams. Let’s be real, quitting your job is not the answer if you do not have the finances to pay your bills. So, do your homework and find out what you need to do to move into a new career. If you don’t have the experience, intern or volunteer. Find a mentor in the field you want to pursue. Ask what they did to get started. Push yourself and go after what you want in life.

Listen – Oprah said it best, “Listen to life’s whispers.” We often walk through life without a plan or a goal. Oprah defines this as sleep walking through life. If we listen to our instincts (the whispers), we can align with our true purpose, our passion and our reason for breathing. Life is too short not to live your best life. Listen to the voice within. Let it lead you to your best life.

Enjoy Life – Find your happy place. Most people believe you need money to enjoy life. In reality, everything you need you already have. Love yourself. No amount of money or things will make you happy. There is someone spending thousands of dollars right now getting plastic surgery and it will still not make them happy. Pause for a moment and be grateful for what you have. There is someone else who wishes they were in your position. Enjoy life, smile, and be grateful. Live your best life!
