When will you “get it”?
A coaching student recently sent me this article about a former colleague. As he read the article and caught up with an old friend, it struck him that although she probably didn’t realize it, she had chosen the Lifeonaire lifestyle. She was fortunate enough, early in her adult life, to CHOOSE a lifestyle that would bring her enjoyment, fulfillment, and true happiness. She said
I always thought I needed to do some ‘legitimate’
thing for a living. Then when I graduated,
I got job offers in geology and thought,
‘What do I need money for so badly that
I’m ready to sacrifice my life for it?’
It didn’t matter to her that her life wouldn’t necessarily include a beautiful home in the suburbs and a comfortable bank account. She was willing to go against the stereotypes and do what she loved. And she’s never looked back.
What about you? Maybe you’re no longer a “young adult”, but it’s never too late to start living an abundant and fulfilling life. What have you done recently to move toward your Lifeonaire vision? Do you even have a Lifeonaire vision? If not, that’s a good place to start making progress toward becoming a true Lifeonaire!
Determine TODAY that you want to live a life of no regret. Stop looking back. In spite of how you may feel, God has used every life experience–good or bad–to make you what you are today. Move forward with new goals and vision. He will honor your resolve and you will be a living example of the abundant life He promises.
