Living my BEST life.

When you hear the statement , “I am living my best life.” What are some things that instantly come to mind?

I know for starters , the line “Living my best life” has become very mainstream and has a lot of association with social media and looking like you “Made it”. Whatever that means .

The best illustration, or somewhat is the song Best Life by Cardi B ft Chance The Rapper. Her authencitity and transparency really allows others to know that if she can, you definitely CAN! .

Best Life (feat. Chance The Rapper)

The opening chorus starts off by her saying ,

I told y'all, I'm livin' my best life (woo)

I told y'all, I said I'm livin' my best life (ayy)

I made a couple M's with my best friends

Turned all my L's into lessons (skrrt, skrrt)

You see the whip pullin' up, it's like "skrrt" (like skrrt)

Dreams pullin' up, it's like "skrrt" (like skrrt)

I'm livin' my best life

It's my birthday, at least that's what I'm dressed like (Chance, The Rapper)

Are you doing what you WANT to be doing every day? Or are you doing what you feel you NEED to/SHOULD be doing?

Are you following your inspiration? Your curiosity? Your intuition? Or are you following social norms just to be accepted and loved by others?

Are you living your BEST life , for you or them?

Contrary to popular belief , I truly believe that genuinely living your best life does not solely revolve around travelling the world , buying designer and having expensive things etc. All these things are obviously amazing, and sure, you could argue they can improve the quality of your life and make you feel abundant, etc

I believe Living your best life has a lot to do with living up to your true potential. It’s beginning to do the very things , you’ve put off . You know the things you hope to do some day, or waiting for the perfect time, Or when you hit a certain mile stone you’ll do it then . Instead you are acting in the now. It’s about taking chances, taking risks , appreciating and acknowledging the things you currently have. Being thankful redirects your focus and makes progress possible again and again. Gratitude at its core can re-establish perspective.

Living your best life is also about choosing to surround yourself with people who bring out the absolute BEST in you. You genuinely want to see one another Win. Together or apart. Don’t ever be afraid to change your environment. The same ones that may count you out in the past will be sure to bring a chair to eat at your table. Well that’s if you let them of course. Changing your circle, you will have people that put a table right next to yours! Uplifting and securing the bags along with experiences together. Real Big moves. A genuine sisterhood if you will.

Living your Best Life is also about discovering new things about yourself. Whether you realize it or not, we are all authors of our own stories. Every day when we wake up, we are deciding what type of character we are going to be.

Living your best life requires you to be 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒. Brave, and Bold. As long as you operate in fear you will never become fearless. Before you know it , you’ll attract everything you fear instead of the life you’ve been dreaming of.

Whatever you are doing , make sure it’s an upgrade and never go backwards. Never measure your progress by someone else’s ruler. Living your Best life , is making the continuous effort to doing the very things that make you happy each and everyday.

Each journey begins with just a single step. When passion and purpose collide, you’ll find yourself walking or running right into your destiny. (She’s a runner , she’s a track star 🎶 HA!)

Living your best life is knowing that approval or outside validation will not make you rich , it won’t make you famous ,and definitely won’t name you successful. At the end of the the day , you simply need to live your life in the way that you want to , and work on the things that bring you joy and fulfillment.

In other words , Living your Best life is very much subjective , we all have different meanings to what it means but ultimately , I believe it’s about reaching new levels of self growth and falling inlove with life. Your life.

Stay Radiant
