Have you ever felt as though you should be getting more from life? Do you ever feel tired, stressed out, or overworked? Has your health and vitality suffered? This is not what we were promised. Perhaps you always pictured that your life would be different.
Many of us assumed we would someday make a lot of money. Many of us assume that we should have much more energy than we do. And we see people around us who seem to have the things that we want to achieve. So why can't we have that? Why is life being so unfair to us?
Well, the answer begins with mindset. You have everything you need to live a truly incredible life right now. All that is missing is the right mindset to go about achieving it. You know what's even more likely? You're already living a truly amazing life. You already have everything that anyone could ever ask for — but you just don't appreciate it.
Your happiness and your accomplishments stem from you. And more than that, they stem from your mindset and the way that you view yourself and your life. They stem from having the drive to go out and get the things you feel you deserve. And from knowing how you are going to go about doing that.
The first thing you need to do is to start reassessing some of your priorities. Many of us complain that we aren't healthier, happier or richer but we never do anything about it. That's because despite what we're saying we aren't giving those aspects of our lives priority.
The simple cognitive shift is this: you are not living to work but working to live. It's a cliché I know, but if you actually follow that advice through to its logical conclusion, then you find yourself with something akin to lifestyle design — a way of life that simply flips traditional notions of work on their head and instead focuses on building a lifestyle you can be happy with.
