How to Live Life to the Fullest

“Living your life to the fullest is not taking vacations from the life you hate. Each area of your life should be filled with love, meaning, and purpose.”

If your life is just about you and how you’re going to survive, you’re not going to survive. That will kill you either mentally, spiritually, physically, or all of the above. We are not created to live in purposeless, survival.

How to live life to the fullest:

1.       Constantly, get to know and love yourself and share that with others, as much as possible.

When you get to know and love yourself, you get a sense of identity, realize your importance and place in the world. This process is definitely a journey, but start with unlearning the lies society taught you and start paying attention to all the great things about yourself, without anyone’s input.

2.       Find your purpose and make sure each area of your life aligns with it.

When purpose is found, you also find meaning and reason to do life. This is important for your mental health, joy, peace, and happiness. It also makes life a MUCH better experience when it aligns with each area of your life, ESPECIALLY your career. Although your purpose is not attached to a title or position, your titles or positions should align with it; otherwise, finding purpose is pointless. To make life even more purposeful, let that alignment spill over into other areas, like friendships, relationships, family, volunteer work, or ministries.

3.       Appreciate every experience or circumstance and allow them to help you grow or prepare for great things ahead.

 When you appreciate every experience or circumstance you won’t allow too much room for life disappointments. Look at each experience or circumstance as a part of the process or preparation for the person you want to become or the places you want to go. When life happens, take your moment, just to be in the moment, and then remind yourself that because you’re living a life of purpose, everything will work out for the good.

 

Follow those three steps and you will experience life the way it’s supposed to be experienced, to the FULLEST! No more just getting by or only doing things for survival. Make your first move! What’s it gonna be?

New Worries in the Social Media Age: Going Viral, Literally and Figuratively

“Not going viral didn’t stop my purpose. It doesn’t have the power to.” Coach Tiya G.

“Not going viral didn’t stop my purpose. It doesn’t have the power to.” Coach Tiya G.

We’re all waiting on that moment to go viral, literally and/or figuratively.

According to Google, vi·ral is relating to or involving an image, video, piece of information, etc., that is circulated rapidly and widely from one internet user to another.

 

In this new social media age, the way we communicate, live, and learn has changed and has changed our expectations. Social media is a way of life and most of us depend on it for many things, from entertainment to income and anything in between. What we may not realize is that it changed the way we measure life satisfaction.

Since the beginning of time, we all wanted to be recognized for something good or noticed by who matters, but that’s not enough anymore. Satisfaction and success are measured by likes, followers, and popularity. It has come down to, if everyone knows and like you, you’ve made it, and you can conquer the world. But, what about the little guy!

What happens to the few of us that has never been the social or popular type, but has something to share with the world or want to be recognized for something good? We still have the same, new expectations that everyone else has in this social media age. For me, as a new business owner who uses social media as a big marketing tool, I based my success on likes, followers, and interactions. I remember one of my first goals was to reach 1,000 followers, which is reachable, but it hasn’t worked out that way. Of course, because that’s the new way we measure our success, I wasn’t too happy about the outcome. Then, I thought about why I really wanted 1,000 followers; I had to get to the root of it.

Yes, I wanted to feel appreciated for what I was doing, but what I really wanted was to feel like I was making an impact. Am I making a real impact with less than 1,000 followers?

Yes, yes I am! We must remember that social media is just a tool or entertainment, it doesn’t measure life’s success. If you are consistently working on yourself, finding or walking in purpose, and being the best example of your best self, you are making the impact that’s needed and you should be satisfied with that. We will be noticed by the people who matter and recognized for something good(purpose).

If you answer “yes” to these next 3 questions, you are on the right track:

Do you believe you have a unique purpose for this short time on Earth?

Is your identity in something or someone that’s unchanging?

Do you measure success based on your alignment with purpose?

 

As hard as it may be, we must use the things of this world as just tools and entertainment, and not a measurement or belief system.

If you did NOT answer those 3 questions , with a hard “yes”, I can help. I can show how to find yourself, your purpose, and newly defined success. All I need from you is to schedule a FREE consultation with me, Coach Tiya G.
