I can honestly say that six years ago I could not see myself being able to live a beautiful life. At the lowest point in my life, I had accepted that my days would only consist of “getting by.” Saying that I was in a slump would be putting it lightly. Moreover, from ages 23 to 25 I lazily floated through every hum-drum day without ever hoping for more. A beautiful life did not seem like a possibility for me.
Luckily, as I hurriedly approached the mature age of thirty, my conscience finally kicked in and screamed, “WHAT ARE WE DOING?” By the time I finally woke up and dusted the fog away, I realized that I was working at a job that I utterly despised, I hadn’t gone anywhere interesting in years, and I didn’t even like myself all that much anymore. A change was way overdue. During this fantastic time of self-discovery, I came up with a few topics that are key to living a beautiful life.
Here are 7 secrets to living a beautiful life:
Who Am I?
Figuring out who you truly are is the first step that will help guide you on your journey. If you can pinpoint who you were, who you are now, and whom you want to be in the future you are not far off from attaining what you desire.
If you happened to have kept a journal at any point in your past, read through it. Connecting with your history may help to determine what got you so far off the beaten path in the first place. If you have never journaled before, there is no time like the present! In the first few pages make a list of everything you like about yourself, then make a list of everything you want to change. And then dream. What do you want more than anything? Write it down.
