Are you living a life or pursuing a lifestyle?
More and more I see people who are driving themselves (and those around them) crazy, not to mention to the edges of exhaustion and financial insolvency, all for the sake of trying to live a lifestyle.
Think about it... What's the first thing we see about other people?
Their lifestyle!
We see the clothes they wear, the jobs they have, the houses they live in. We see all of the outward signs of their LIFESTYLE.
But what is it that we aren't seeing? What else is there?
Quite a lot, actually.
Just like an iceberg, most of the BIG stuff in our lives is hidden from view. Similarly, LIFESTYLE is just the tip of the iceberg to understanding WHO a person really is and WHAT they truly value.
Unfortunately, too many people these days get so busy working towards a lifestyle that they've decided they want that they forget to work as hard, if not harder, on the person inside... so that when they finally get the lifestyle they strived for, they're not happy with who they are.
Do you really want to have a great lifestyle but a lousy life?
What does your lifestyle matter to you, anyway?
Take some time today to figure out if you're living life or pursuing a lifestyle... Know for certain whether you are simply staying busy, collecting a whole bunch of stuff, or truly fulfilling your values.
