Are you living the life that you have always wanted? Are you excited to go to work most days? Do you enjoy the weekends? Are your priorities in order? Do you like the way you feel inside? Are you hanging out with your family and friends? If not, things have probably become boring and tedious in your life and you simply feel less motivated, less energetic, and less joyful.

If you are struggling with making sense of life, you are not alone; most people do, although appearances are deceiving. It is no surprise that people who you know well – and people you do not know well or at all – including yourself, keep pretending that life makes sense. This is a survival mechanism. You are not to feel guilty or ashamed of it because it happens to everyone at some point in life.

It is time to live your dreams and have the life that you have always wanted. Begin with one step at a time, embrace simplicity and practice self-compassion so that you do not get easily overwhelmed or discouraged in the process. Keep looking forward as you take more steps. If you are tempted to look backward, do so with the only intention to see how much you have progressed.

You matter. Your life matters too. Think about the present for life is short. Living a life that is meaningful makes a world of difference. Strive to thrive and take that first step, start from within. Believe in yourself and trust yourself.

“Life has its ups and downs, no human being is exempt from experiencing both.”

It is possible to live the life that you have always wanted. It is never too late to start living and stop merely existing. You are a human being with emotions and feelings, not a robot. Life has its ups and downs, and no human being is exempt from experiencing both. How you cope with people and situations in life is key. Do you focus on the circumstances or on the results?

“When you truly live, you have a sense of purpose and meaning within you.”

There is a big gap between existing and living. You are responsible for building the bridge to cross from one side to the other, you are an architect of life. When you truly live, you have a sense of purpose and meaning within you that propels you to press on and to rise and shine. No matter how many times you fall or fail in the process, it is all part of making the best out of your precious time on earth.

“When there is a strong will, there’s always a way to accomplish what you want.”

Take courage and start making a difference in your life, which will also impact the people around you – the ones who you love and care for. Pause for a moment and reflect about your life. Where are you? Where do you want to go? How do you want to get there?. When there is a strong will, there is always a way to accomplish what you want. Do not wait for the perfect conditions to embark on this journey because you will miss out on many other things. #BestAdvice

There is no perfection in life, there is excellence. Going from good to better to greater to excellent. Embrace this life process, it is worth it.

Dream, believe, and achieve.

Dream: Dream and dream big because you can. Train your mind and heart to dream. It takes time and effort, though the results are rewarding. No one or anything can stop you from dreaming. Your dreams keep you alive.

Believe: Have confidence in yourself and trust yourself. Do not allow any circumstance to rob you of your joy and your desire to go on. Remember, circumstances in life are temporary. A good attitude is altitude. Have faith.

Achieve: Plan and act. Keep moving. When you believe and trust in yourself, you have the power to bring your dreams to reality. List your dreams and the things you need to do to accomplish them. Set deadlines. Make things happen.

Remember, there is nothing you can do to change the past, it is gone. Apply what you learned from it to the present so that you become better than you were yesterday. Live in the present, embrace each moment, and be grateful.

From now on, be wise in choosing the people who you want to surround yourself with. Also, be wise about the opportunities that you decide to pursue. Think about your values and your faith. Make sure that who you are aligns with what you want to be, and most importantly, stay true to yourself.
