Everyone has a different version of what they imagine their ideal life to be.
Some women dream of being there for their children 100% of the time.
Some find their purpose running big companies or being in the workforce full time.
And some are like me, who fit somewhere in between.
I was fortunate to have had what many consider an ideal career early in my life...
I worked with a great group of people, had a corner office and made more money than I needed.
I was able to quickly realize that money could buy things but it did not necessarily bring happiness.
When I started having kids I had plenty of money to spend on them but didn't have that much time with them. I had to dig deep to evaluate the kind of life I envisioned that I would be happy with now and in the different seasons of my life so I could look back at my life later and realize I spent my time in a way that aligned with my values.
I knew the years of raising kids would go fast so I stepped out of my full time work so I could be the primary parent raising our kids.
Yet, I still had big dreams serving the world so I chose to work in fields where I feel like I am giving back and fulfilling a certain purpose in life.
I don’t claim to have it all figured out, but I do know that THE most important thing we can do as individuals is to explore options to find the version of happiness that works for you and your family.
That looks different for all of us.
Remember that your happiness is ESSENTIAL to the happiness of those you love most, so make sure you are staying true to YOU.
Here's a few ways to help you discover what works for you...
4 WAYS YOU CAN STEP INTO THE VISION YOU HAVE FOR YOUR LIFE
1. GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU WANT
Get a piece of paper and answer the following questions:
What does your ideal day look like?
At the end of your life what type of impact would you like to have had?
Who would you be proud to be of service to?
Do you have a calling or desire to make a difference in the lives of others and leave the world better than you found it?
If you could give a large donation to a non-profit what type of organization would it be? If you have dreamed of creating your own non-profit... what would it be?
Do you imagine having time and financial freedom?
Do you have a vehicle to help you get there?
Get really clear on the details of the vision you have for your life.
2. COMMIT TO THAT VISION
Consider joining forces with an organization that aligns with the core values that are most important to you and how you want to live your life.
Maybe you know a company that you have dreamed of partnering with?
Maybe you have considered starting your own business.
Maybe you could explore partnership opportunities with a Network Marketing company that has a solution for something you are passionate about.
One of the great things about the direct selling industry is that there is a low investment cost - you are in business for yourself but not by yourself.
Also, based on the core values of the company you will find yourself with other like-hearted people.
A few of the core values of the mental wellness company I partner with include: LOVE, INTEGRITY and SERVICE
One of the ways they live these values is by empowering people to love themselves with a product solution that improves their mental and emotional wellness. Another way is how they help wellness partners start your own non-profit foundation when you have helped a certain amount of people.
3. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE UP-LEVELING THEIR LIFE
Expand your network to include people that inspire you and have a healthy mindset to encourage growth in your own life.
This might look like:
People that share knowledge and are interested in collaboration vs. competition
People that encourage others and know that there is enough room in the world for us all to be successful and win.
People who have an abundance mindset vs. scarcity (or jealousy)
People with a healthy money mindset - that believe that money in the hands of good people can do great things!
One of my favorite parts of network marketing is that everyone has the same opportunity to decide how much they want to make. Typically the amount of income you make directly corresponds to the amount of people you helped and served.
As we know a traditional business model only has a certain amount of jobs available at any time and competition is fierce.
The industry is also inclusive. We welcome diversity - all genders, ethnicities, ages are welcome!
A favorite source of inspiration is Podcasts!
I enjoy ones that include a variety of guests so we can learn from different people and ways of life. Stories of people overcoming personal and professional adversity are powerful and remind us that we all have the potential for greatness!
A few I currently listen to are Tim Ferris, Jay Shetty, Lewis Howes and Project Me with Tiffany Carter.
4. TAKE CONSISTENT ACTION
Keep your goals in mind as you grow into the highest version of yourself.
The doors to success swing inward meaning your self identity determines your impact and income. And the more time you spend working on personal development the stronger your craft becomes. Thinking of leadership... you can only take others as far as you have taken yourself.
Commit to healthy habits that help you improve your
1. Healthset (Physical body)
2. Mindset
3. Heartset (Emotional Intelligence)
4. Soulset (Challenge your Ego)
Here's an example of the habits I am currently doing in each of these four areas:
Keep promises to yourself with a habit tracker to stay on track with the habits you are currently prioritizing.
Remember... don’t be so hard on yourself.
Be your personal best for YOU not external praise.
And please don't worry about the people that live on the sidelines of life and just want to comment and gossip about as you up-level your life.
You can either change the world OR you can be liked by everyone, you can't do both.
