I’ve learned something rather important over the past few years: Bearing the weight of the world is a hard, heavy, and unrelenting job.
Perhaps you’ve learned this, too.
If you’re ready to live lightly and achieve BOLDLY in 2014, here are 10 tips to help:
1. Surround yourself with positive people. Consciously spend time with those who uplift, challenge, and inspire you.
2. Say what you mean. Don’t make others guess, assume, or answer for you. Speak your truth.
3. Make decisions. Do the best you can with the knowledge you have – then get on with it.
4. Schedule an adventure. Always have something to look forward to on your calendar.
5. Enhance a skill… Choose an area that matters to you and invest in developing it to your fullest potential.
6. …But in the meantime, act as if. Whatever you most long to be – confident, well-spoken, clear – play the part until you’ve developed it.
7. Write your manifesto. What do you value? Believe in? Stand for? Get it onto paper so you can live and work it consistently.
8. Move towards what you want, rather than away from what you fear.
9. Let go. You can’t carry everyone else’s burdens and expect to fully serve.
10. Do what you love. Engage in meaningful work, cultivate deep relationships, and do what you were put here to do.
