Day 24

Do What You Love for the Rest of Your Life

Permission to share

Envision yourself as doing what you love for life. Don’t look at the scene as an outsider, as if you were watching a movie, but see yourself in the vision as the leading actor.

In this enacted dream, when you wake up in the morning, you do what you love. You act on your terms and what you do is inspiring and made for you. You live a life of fun, overcome challenges easily because you are talented and skilled at what you do, are with as many friends as you wish and excited about your journey. You care about yourself and others. And you go to bed with your heart and mind full of the day’s wonderful experiences.

Does it seem like the person you want to be?

Imagine your success too, how does it look like?

Maybe you see yourself as surrounded by supportive and loving people, making more than enough money, living a full life and realizing yourself. People would come to you because what you do attracts them, they can’t pass you by or your products and services, you inspire others and you’re at the top of your game?

We’ll look in this last section how you can be that bright person and do what you love for the rest of your life.

Why design your entire life?

Let’s state the obvious first, designing what you love to do for the rest of your life is important because it can be amazing! Just the thought of doing what you dream of for life, and knowing it’s possible if well designed, is enough to give an incredible amount of energy, goosebumps and get you sitting at the end of your chair saying, ok, where do I begin ?

This exhilaration of living your life to the fullest is great.

What is less obvious is that deciding to do what you love in your life, you know it is really a progression, that there are great rewards in setting dream goals and reaching them one after the other. You savor your everyday and you’re in great hopes for the future, you relish it.

People who do what they love aren’t slave to every society’s pressure. They don’t dread their now, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because they have a life they don’t love. Everywhere you look, you can go, you’re in charge of your destiny for real.

It does take a fair amount of courage, to dress yourself tall, shake off norms and prejudices, and just go your way for as long as you want. But it’s worth it.

You do what really matters for yourself and others.

You’ll be pinching yourself for your blessings and be grateful too.

And as a final point, designing your life carefully will make sure you don’t go back to old habits that kept you away from doing what you love.

How to design what you love to do for the rest of your life

Upgrading continuously your life, searching for progress, is the way to go to design your lifestyle as you want it.

With focus and dedication, just follow step-by-step your blueprint in a way that you are always going beyond what you did yesterday.

Relinquish what you discover you don’t love. And take in everything you love, judging along the way with the LOVE system.

Think where you want to be, see it at the horizon and go. You’re now part of the few (actually) that do what they love for life and you set a fantastic example. Be proud of it!

If at any point you think you’re going off-course, just redirect your life direction with the LOVE system (explained previously on the blog and in the book) and stay true to your decision of doing what you love for life.

Schedule your life keeping in mind your memento mori

Always Zen should you be to design your whole life. Keeping in mind that your time is limited, you might want to take on this way of deciding what to do first, with prioritizing what you have to do now.

Prioritize the most important things to do and be with in your life and do them as soon as you can, depending on a best time frame. Place them in order of importance. Set it up in with:

-Your values: keep the most important first and close to you. For example, if Family is what’s most important for you, make sure you’re there for them. It’s what I do deciding to stay home with my children foremost;

- Your actions: do what you must do first. Again, for me it is to help directly people living a life they love, so I write this book and keep blogging regularly on it. I want to write fiction too someday, touching this theme and consciousness, but since it is a little far from what I feel I must do first I save it for later.

It’s what’s great about it, deciding to live your life the way you want means that you’re not obliged to live your life upside down. You’re not living the contrary of what your values tell you to, like in my example if I was away from my children working outside home, or living shallowly.

November is coming to an end, so is blogging the book Do What You Love, that will be in the product section soon. I am showing by example that we can generate capital doing the work we love, starting it all under a month as the method in the book. Plan to do what you love for the rest of your life, it’s worth it!
