This has been the motto for a lot of people for awhile now including myself. Everyone has his or her own interpretation of exactly what that means to them specifically. For some it could mean living it up partying each weekend. For others it could mean putting your best foot forward by doing “the things I hope to do someday” now instead of waiting until later. However you interpret that meaning can impact your daily life. Personally, whenever I think about “living my best life” I think about what truly makes me happy! Not what makes other people happy. Whether it’s not hanging out some much and getting some much needed “me time”, trying a new hobby, getting into the best shape of my life or spending more time with loved ones, whatever I choose to do I am maximizing on my happiness!
A few years ago, I had a customer tell me that she had saved almost $200,000 dollars for her retirement and she was going to live off of that and travel. Well, unfortunately for her, she ended up with a lot of health issues and most of her money went towards hospital bills and medication. She told me that she regretted not traveling more when she was younger and missed out on a lot of opportunities. I could hear the regret in her voice and it definitely woke me up! I use to be the person that said, “when I get older I’m going to travel more”, but to be honest that day may never come. Life is too short and tomorrow is not guaranteed! Working in my line of business I get unsolicited advice from older people often and they always tell me “don’t wait until you’re my age to travel or to enjoy life! Do it now!”. That’s something that has stuck with me over the years! Why wait until you’re too old to start living your best life? What’s the point in waiting to a certain age when you can be doing it now? Think about all of the memories you could be making at this very moment in time.
It’s not always about the tangible benefits in life, but the benefits that will affect our overall well-being! Sometimes cutting toxic people out of your life and avoiding drama can aid in living your best life. Removing any and all things that threaten your sanity or peace of mind can aid in living your best life. How about letting go of that job that’s been causing you high blood pressure and applying for a new job. Or what about stepping out on faith and starting that business you’ve been putting on the back burner for several years now? The choice is yours! What’s stopping you from living your best life?
