Living Your Life By Design

Do you wake up each day and feel like you are simply reacting to what life is throwing at you, or do you wake up each day and feel like you are creating your life?

There are practically only two ways to live your life... either By Default (as a reactor) or By Design (as a creator).

Sadly, a large number of folks live over 90% of their life by default, being too afraid to experiment and accepting whatever life brings their way - in other words, "Life just happens to them"

Creators, are the set of people who have at some point decided to break the limit by choosing what they want out of life.

By default, at every team meeting, I would report on every system failure that affects the team works, but by design, I resolved to discuss at least one alternative step forward. THAT's MY STYLE, every designer has one.

When I’m frustrated, it’s often because I’m in reactive mode. I’m just reacting to the circumstances I find myself in. And that’s when you default on life. When I’m feeling fulfilled, it’s usually because I’m proactive. I’m going after goals or executing a plan or living out my priorities and most times I'm getting very positive results.

Life can only freely give you an average, if you want to break that record you will have to go for it.

But, until you decide what you want and where you are heading, life will bring you anything and take you anywhere without your permission.

In a wrap, if you wish to break that record, drop life's default manual and start living your life by design, Your Design!


I value you
