When it comes to creating a holist🔯ically successf♎ul life, there are three essential elements: sweetness, structure and space.
- Sweetness is the essence of all the feel-good, . You can learn to find it within all kinds of everyday situations.
- Structure is the means by which we organize and plan a life that works (without feeling crazy and overwhelmed). Healthy, efficient structure will help you achieve goals and .
- Space provides the opportunity to connect with your highest self. It’s the opening through which you receive, and experience real peace.
So how do these three elements relate to success?
1. Sweetness
As we’re working toward our ൲goals and creating our empires, enough to actually enjoy the life we’re creating. If we rush toward the drea✅m with blinders on, we miss a lot of the beautiful lessons, moments and experiences happening every day.
And when we do finally create that multi🍒million-dollar company or invent a way to reverse climate change, it’s important that we take the time to celebrate those accomplishments. Even huge milestones can often get lost in the sea of our own perpetual drive, rather than being the pinnacle moments we envision them to be when we set out to achieve them.
You’r🔯e responsible for ꦑyour own moment of awe when you succeed. Bring all the sweetness you can to it.
2. Structure
The ability to organize and
You must:
- Be crystal clear about what you want.
- Hold that vision and articulate it with precision and grace.
- Break the projects down into actionable tasks.
- Have a ritual around planning every single week so you can actually get the tasks done that will drive you forward.
- Reflect on what’s working and not working and adjust quarterly (or even monthly).
A healthy structure is the difference betwee💧n building your big dreams on a solid foundation or on quicksand. By putting all ꦍthe parts in place, you can ensure that what you’re creating is sustainable and will set you up for ultimate success.
3. Space
Most people striving for success pack their ♏lives full of networking, planning, hustling and—maybe, if they’re lucky—sleeping. But this doesn’t leave a lot of room for magic to enter our lives.
Uh oh, did someone say magic? Yep.
When weဣ create space in our lives, we’re able to connect to something beyond ourselves and a new kind of creative energy moves through us.
Have𓆏 you ever tried to figure something out, th꧙inking and plotting and ? But then you step away, get outside or take a shower and all of a sudden a totally out-of-the-box answer just comes to you? That is the magic of space.
You can create more space in your life by meditating, praying, sitting still in nature, taking a long walk, staring at the clouds or literally doing nothing for a period of time. Space is one of the most underestimated elements of true success𒉰 and when you prioritize it, life feels more light, , and you have easier 𒊎access to your own inner guidance.
With theꦡse three elements of sweetness, st༺ructure and space infused into your goals and dreams, you will not only achieve more, but you’ll also feel balanced and fulfilled along the way.
