Making a Living vs. Designing a Life
Are you making a living or living a life that you designed? What’s the difference? Making a living is about survival. It’s making enough money to live an average life. It’s having a marriage that you can tolerate. It’s muddling by.
Designing a life is about creation and choice. You consciously choose a life that’s tailored to your preferences. It might involve living in a mansion or living in a hut on a mountaintop. You might be married to your ideal partner or choose to live alone.
Those that are merely “making a living” are living the life that society considers to be average or normal. Those that design a life are choosing for themselves how they want to live and then making it happen.
Making a living is easy, but not very enjoyable. Designing a life is much more work, but much more satisfying.
The choice is yours.
Design the life you were meant to live:
Put all reservations aside and make some choices.
What is your dream life?
What is the purpose of your life?
What are values is foundation to your life?
What foot print is left behind you?
