This was one for the books

We followed the host through the wooden doorways to an ornately decorated room in this 300 year old restaurant to be seated at our table.

As we just began to glance over the menu, suddenly all the tables in the restaurant emptied and everyone scurried out to the attached dock. Eyes peeled, we all stood in awe of the fiery sunset hues that illuminated the sky above. Clouds abounded in vibrant cascading colors. It definitely was one for the books.

Back at the table, when the sun gave its final glow and dipped below the horizon, we settled in for dinner and began to recount the adventures we’d enjoyed on our trip thus far…

Touring through the perfume factory, soaking up the sun on dramatic cliffside pink sand beaches, wandering the cobblestone streets of historic old towns, climbing up to the top of the lighthouse, savoring the most delicious pizza, making friends with the kind locals, and taking boats to the days’ activities. Oh the joy of traveling adventures!

In fact, one of the things we enjoy reminiscing about the most is the trips we’ve been able to take and the memories made along the way because traveling is something that we value and enjoy having as part of our lifestyle.

Your lifestyle makes a big impact on the kind of life you live. The exciting part of this is that you get to choose what that looks like, but most people get the process backwards, and this hinders them from ever experiencing what they truly desire. In fact, it’s one of the things that we teach clients about in our workshop so that they can follow the proper progression to design and live the life they dream of.

So, what about you? Have you thought about what kind of lifestyle you want to have? Are the choices you are making and the paths you are taking helping to make that a reality for you?

Here’s a few components to consider when designing your lifestyle:

  • Recreation

  • Career

  • Travel

  • Hobbies

  • Relationships

  • Spirituality

  • Health

  • Values
