You Only Live Once
If there was one quote to summarize the focus of chasinglife365.com, it might just be this one. “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” - Mae West You probably should read that again, a few times. We all get one shot at living this life. So do it right. Do it to the best of your ability.
There are a few things to keep in mind and remember as you journey through this life, in order to make it count. Here are a few important things to be mindful of: living on purpose, living with passion, your impact, your perspective, and valuing things that matter.
Learn to live on purpose. Far too often people can go through life on auto-pilot. Just going through life, day to day, without giving much thought to anything. Before they know it, they have spent years and years going through the motions or doing what everyone else does. But, you are not everyone else. You are one in 8 billion. You are unique in so many ways. Do not settle for average, or what everyone else does. That is not you, and that is not who you were made to be. Live each day with purpose.
Learn to live passionately. Time flies. There is no going back. Each day that we are given, is a gift. Do not waste your time. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. Time is the one thing that we cannot make more of. So when you wake up each day, be determined to live it to its maximum potential!
Be mindful of your impact. You are being watched by someone, everywhere. Whether it is your children, co-workers, neighbors, or someone else, you are being watched. So you have a potential impact and influence everywhere that you go. Make your impact and influence something that encourages and inspires others.
Learn to see the things that matter, and realize the things that do not have value. The things that do not have much value tend to steal our time, focus, and energy from those things that do have genuine value. Learning to reduce or remove the things that do not matter much could be something that adds significant time and value to those things that really do matter.
Lastly, learn to adjust your perspective. Learn to see each day as a new opportunity. Realizing that time is precious and opportunities run out, will shift how you view your life and how you live.
Remember that you will only live this life once. Live it with purpose and passion. Keep in mind your impact, and remember to focus on those things that matter most. Lastly, learning to adjust your perspective will help you to see routine things in new ways. By doing these few things, you can shift your priorities and elevate your level of truly living each and every day!
