Goals are important, right? They have meaning and they most certainly push us towards something positive and fulfilling in our life. So why is it that sometimes we find it hard to consistently reach for our goals?

Lately I’ve been making a point to allow my goals to be one of the biggest priorities in my life right now. I’ve spent most of my life creating these super amazing goals that mean so much to me, but always putting them on hold. Specifically, the goals that I know for a fact would be life changing for me (in a good way) if I really just reached for them. Other things always managed to get in the way, like school, the kids, or even at times work. This made it very hard for me to juggle all these responsibilities and continue to reach for my goals.

Earlier this year I made the decision to take a break from working and to put more time and energy towards my goals. At the time it wasn’t a permanent decision just something I knew I needed to do for myself in order to be happy. It’s been a while and I still haven’t returned back to working a full-time or part-time job and honestly, I have no intentions of doing so anytime soon (but we’ll see how life goes).

Really taking the time these past 6 months to rediscover my greatest passions and actively participate in them reminded me of how important it is to stay motivated and focused on my goals. Not working your typical job has given me a few extra hours during the day to put a lot of time, energy, and dedication towards projects that mean a lot to me. It may be a slow start but I’m starting to see them make a positive difference in my life. [Read more…]

All the buzz in my world as of late has been about making the most out of your life. For a while I wondered what the hell everyone meant by that. You make the most of your life by doing things that are meaningful and purposeful and above all fulfilling. You greet each day with the intention of making it a better one than the day before, and setting the intention to achieve or do something good for yourself no matter how big or small those intentions may be.

I mean that’s all there is to it, right? Life is crazy and there are so many twists and turns why make it any more complicated than what it already is. That’s what I figured at least until I sat down and really thought about what it meant to make the most out of your life.

I love IISuperWomanII A.K.A Lily Singh. She’s a YouTuber (probably my favorite YouTubers), she’s super funny, super talented, and a Bawse (which you can learn more about here). She is hands down one of my biggest inspirations in the entertainment industry. When I find myself lost and confused about the simple parts of life I always turn to her videos or her book How To Be A Bawse, because I personally feel like she is so inspiring and so insightful about living a very simple, happy but fulfilling life.

So, the question of the week for me has been “how do we make the most out of our life?” After doing some serious reflection on this and using Lily as my spiritual guide, I’ve came to the decision that you make the most out of life by simply living it for yourself. This means that you fill your time hanging out with people who mean something to you, you dedicate free time to doing things that you love, and above all you intentionally make time for the things that you love.

Life is crazy, I’ve said this a million times before and I’ll say it a million times more. We never know what life is going to throw at us in any given moment so it is up to us to live our lives with a purpose. What better way to do than to do dedicate our lives to love and happiness? Love and happiness are the root of all things good. The way I see it, when we make more time to be able to do the things that we love, we are allowing more room for happiness and love to grow.
