Doing What You Love

Doing what you love is the best and most important way to create a vision that helps you design a great life.

The person who has found out what they love to do and is doing those things, is living a great life.

Since we all want to design a great life, then our focus should be on creating a vision that shows us exactly the things that we should be doing.

Values

What we love gives us value.

So our vision should be identifying those things that make us smile, give us energy and make us who we really want to be.

There are values like creativity, love, peace, adventure, autonomy, balance, beauty, challenge, community and many many more.

It is up to you to sit down and map out your life based on the values that really matter to you.

For instance, if humor is important to you, you should be involved in some activity that brings humor in your life, providing value to others using humor.

If your vision is not so articulated, you are probably going to be frustrated by the choices that you make.

And obviously you would not be doing something that you love.

Doing What You Love

The results from examining your life should give you a better understanding of the number of your best values.

Whatever that number is you can now create plans to include them in your vision and life.

The more you accomplish that, the better your life will feel.

When you do what you love you give yourself energy and excitement.

Your life will be more fun and fulfillment, and less frustration.

Unfortunately not too many take the time to find out who they are.

They take it for granted that they know themselves.

An overview of their life shows that they are wrong and the reason for their unhappiness.

Your Values Make You

When you get the work done, it is easier to see the real you showing up in the world.

You are always authentic and success comes more readily than the folks who do not do the work.

Others recognize you as the person who has it all together and they feel that success for you is automatic.

Little do they realize that they too can be there in their own lives.

All they have to do is find those most important values.

Values make you the person who behaves in a certain way.

If one of your values is love for instance, you will always be looking at life through the lens of love.

All your activities will be centered around love.

Even your business will have love as its driving force, which then leads to more business.

What we find when looking at people who do not do the work is that they don’t know that adventure is their true core value.

And they flounder through businesses without a hint of adventure in them and wonder why success is so elusive.

When you understand that your values make you, you know where to put your energy and focus.

If you don’t like to write, then you should not try to produce a blog.

Choosing careers for the wrong reasons can and does lead to disaster.

Design A Great Life

It all starts with doing what you love.

Know yourself and then create your life.

Some people find this our early.

Most times those who do find out by lots of trial and error.

We are always learning so when we try and fail, we know one thing that does not fit our personality.

Those who make the early discovery are the ones whose youth probably allowed them to learn a lot more things about themselves.

The fact is, we are always learning things about who we are.

Depending on the learning journey determines what we learn.

Then there are those who seemingly are born with gifts.

Gifts are great but in and of themselves, may not lead to greatness.

Over Coming Challenges

How many talented basket ball players who did not make it in the NBA?

It is not because they did not want it, but rather, they did not have the drive and tenacity to overcome the challenges that are always present.

When the challenges appear, that is when the core value overtakes and delivers the person through to the end.

When that value is not present, the negatives win because the challenges remain dominant.

Value To Others

When you are enjoying what you do, it is so much easier to share value with others.

The experience of sharing is a pleasant one that gives you benefits beyond your normal feelings of good will.

Sharing from your heart is the result.

You grow into a person who is looking for benefits beyond the transactional.

Value to others makes your life so much more meaningful, that it is easy to maintain that momentum.

Momentum makes you the success you eventually become as your rewards continue to grow.

Value to others can turn into an income generator.

Leaders

Do you want to be a leader?

Know what value you can share.

Knowing what you are good at sharing and sharing it can make you the leader that people want in their lives.

Good leaders are steeped in their values and eventually become great leaders.

Those who want to lead but are not grounded in values, end up hurting others as the experience with them is not positive.

Your values keep you positive and always growing.

Leaders always invest in their values and in addition, share them with others.

Grounded leaders are courageous and always communicate from a foundation of positive value.

The joy of creating something of value is much more important than money.

Interestingly though, it is what brings more money into the equation than was expected in the first place.

Focus on presenting value is the key to creating more income in your life.

Conclusion

No one can design a great life for you.

It is wholly up to you to know your value and create the life you want based on your values.

You soon learn that when you are doing what you love, your life takes on a different character, one clothed with happiness and pleasure.

And those great feelings also lead you to create income appropriate to the value you are creating in the lives of others.

Money is no longer a challenge to you when you are doing what you love.
