Lifestyle design
Imagine designing your life any way you want…
What if you could change any one thing in your life; what would you change?
Would it be the money?
The people in your life?
Would you get married?
Find some environmental cause to devote yourself to?
I’ve written about what it takes to live your life according to your passion in life. I’ve written about how to reach high, create goals, etc…. This time I’ll yap about lifestyle design a little. Lifestyle design is what this site is really all about.
Call it what you will… Dreaming Big. Having aspirations, and goals…
Living an alternate lifestyle, lifestyling, nonconformist lifestyling (my personal favorite :0) All in all this Is, again, lifestyle design.
All throughout history there have been people who have stepped out from the norm, designed their own lives, and experienced the liberation and intensity of designing their own lives. These people were often nonconformists in the sense that they couldn’t just subscribe to some common ideology, social culture, or the attendant social expectations.
I’m a huge advocate of lifestyle design. When you create your own ideal life, you’re in command of the ship. If it’s the beach life/ beach culture you’re after, then you can steer that ship right to some warm, paradisiacal island somewhere, in the middle of some remote ocean corner somewhere near the equator.
If it’s your life you want to live (granted, you’ve discovered what you’re passionate about already) then why waste your time remaining a slave to some lifestyle your culture, peers, politicians, or education system has dictated to you? Why would you do this to yourself?
Design your own life. Use the tools available on this site to keep track of your goals. Have aspirations. Live morally. Live rich. Live however you want. Live well.
Lifestyle Design!
To your unconventional success!
