No matter what I do in life, I typically have high expectations for myself. Because of that, I’d sometimes find myself working all day or doing an activity that would invest in my personal growth, add to my knowledge, or spark inspiration.But a week ago, with some help from a mentor, I asked myself whether or not I’ve recently made time for the activities that just brought pure enjoyment. 🤔
It’s more likely than not that creators are experiencing similar struggles that others can relate to. People are willing to be vulnerable and share their struggles with one another. We just need to provide a safe and supportive platform for them to do it. If you’re feeling alone in your creative struggles, learn how to avoid them.
Based on your own interests and responsibilities, you have a set of priorities that are unique to you.

Our culture, family, the media, and society are constraining us with their definition of a "successful career". Just like everything else in intentional living, we’re defining what we value, what we want to strive for. When we take ownership of our definition of success, we take back control of our lives. We have to determine what our metrics for success are.
As Millennials, we are currently living in a time with different struggles from the previous generations. We have the opportunity to question what makes us happy and fulfilled versus what makes us the most money. I believe that, through self-awareness and intention, everyone has the opportunity to curate their own thriving and fulfilling life. I break down the definition of intentional living and how to apply this lifestyle as your own.
Society creates this illusion that the more we have in life, the better our life will be. Instead, we can focus on the lifestyle that we want to live based on our purpose and values. You’ll realize that you probably won’t need as much as you think. Once you have decided what kind of lifestyle you want, you'll know how much you need for any particular thing.
Culture, media, and society shape us into who we are now and influence us on what it means to be successful or how we should live our lives. But sometimes we forget to think about who we want to be and what we want actually to do with our lives. Living an intentional life means consciously choosing and being purposeful in what you want to do and how you want to live. To take ownership of your life, you must take ownership of the views you want to have, the actions you want to take, and the goals you want to accomplish.
